Twenty-six years,quietly,on the road.
Isaac is an independent travel advisor who works from a small desk, with a small list, and a fairly old notebook.
Most of what I do happens before anyone packs a bag. I sit with people, listen to how they speak about travel, and try to imagine the trip they would actually love — not the one the internet keeps suggesting to them.
The list stays deliberately small. I take a few clients each quarter, and I keep most of them for years. The practice is advisory: I do not sell, I do not push, and I do not work to a template. If a brief is not right for me, I will tell you, and usually I will recommend the person who is.

Four moments,
no résumé.
Started in the back room of a small agency
Booking flights for a senior advisor, taking notes in red pen, learning the trade from someone who never raised her voice.
Began travelling, properly
First a year in East Africa, then six months drifting across Japan. The notebooks from that period are still on the desk.
Quietly began taking clients
Friends of friends. A short list. The work was always meant to stay small.
IC Vacation, in its current form
Same practice, same small list, with a quietly built AI consultant taking pre-briefs ahead of the conversation with Isaac.

- We do not take a brief we cannot personally see through.
- We do not promise what the airline, ship, or property has not promised us.
- We do not run a booking engine. Every trip is built by Isaac.
- We do not write copy we would not say in person.

A short form, then a real conversation. We'll come back with one quietly considered plan.
