Our Story

Travel planning
with a human touch.

Every great journey starts with someone who genuinely cares where you end up. That's us — and we can't wait to help you get there.

Why Friendly Voyages?

Travel has always been the thing I looked forward to most.

The planning, the anticipation, the moment you land somewhere new and realize the world is even bigger and better than you imagined.

But for a long time, that planning felt like gambling. Sifting through endless booking sites, comparing prices I couldn't verify, and quietly wondering: am I getting a good deal, or did I just pay more for less? That nagging uncertainty took some of the joy out of it. So I started digging — learning the industry, understanding how hotels and airlines work, and figuring out where the real value was hiding.

What I discovered changed everything. And it's what I now do for you.

About Me

I'm Felix — born in New York, living in Philadelphia, and forever homesick for Puerto Rico.

Puerto Rico isn't somewhere I visited. It's home — the island where my roots are, my family is, and where I learned that the most extraordinary travel experiences are always found one turn past the obvious. I know the bioluminescent bays, the rainforest trails of El Yunque, the roadside lechoneras in the mountains, and the hidden beaches that don't make the brochures.

That kind of knowledge — the kind you only have when a place is truly yours — is what I bring to every trip I plan.

"AI can list options. I help you choose the right one."

A Life on the Road

Coast to coast, and everywhere between.

Growing up in New York and living on the East Coast gave me a deep love for this country's own extraordinary range — from the magic of Disneyland to the wonder of Disney World, from the sun-soaked tip of Key West to the mist and thunder of Niagara Falls.

Every trip taught me something about what travelers actually need, and how much better a journey can be when someone who's genuinely been there is helping you plan it.

How I Work

Full transparency, honest guidance.

At Friendly Voyages, I plan trips the way I wish someone had planned mine: with a genuine commitment to getting the most out of every dollar you spend. No upsells, no pressure, no mystery pricing — just thoughtful, personalized planning from someone who's been exactly where you are, sometimes literally.

Whether you're dreaming of a Caribbean escape, a European adventure, a family cruise, or somewhere you've never even considered, I'll bring the same curiosity and care to your trip that I bring to my own. Through my affiliation with FORA Travel, I also bring something booking sites can't: preferred partner relationships, added value that varies by supplier, and support that shows up when plans change. And I'll always be straight with you about what makes sense for your trip and your budget.

The Friendly Voyages Difference

Added value that varies by vendor.

Through our partnerships across hotels, cruise lines, airlines, and tour operators, agency-booked trips often carry added value you won't see on public booking channels. What that value looks like ranges from small, thoughtful touches to substantial extras — and it's different at every vendor, property, and fare. Part of my job is knowing where and how it applies to your specific trip.

Hotels & Resorts

From a warmer welcome and small on-arrival touches, up to meaningful on-property value at select luxury partners.

Cruise Lines

From onboard recognition and category-specific extras, up to sailing-dependent added value on premium and luxury lines.

Airlines

From fare-class flexibility and coordinated ticketing, up to negotiated benefits on select premium cabins and routes.

Tours & Experiences

From priority reservations and curated add-ons, up to hosted access and preferred pricing through partner operators.

Human Support

The one thing that doesn't vary: a direct line to me before, during, and after your trip — no call centers, no scripts.
