Meet Your Chief Memory Maker, TJ
Every Great Celebration Has a Story Mine started with planning trips for family and friends long before Adventure Book Travel ever existed... I didn't plan to become a travel advisor. I planned trips. Obsessively. Meticulously. Probably a little annoyingly. For my family, my friends, and anyone willing to hand over the planning. Looking back, I wasn't just organizing vacations. I was helping people celebrate life's biggest moments. One day it finally clicked... This is exactly what I'm supposed to do. I'm TJ Hayes, the owner and Chief Memory Maker behind Adventure Book Travel. I believe life's biggest moments deserve to be celebrated. Not rushed through. Not squeezed in between meetings. Celebrated. Whether it's your honeymoon, a milestone birthday, an anniversary, retirement, a long-awaited family reunion, or the bucket list trip you've been dreaming about for years, these are the moments you'll remember forever. They deserve thoughtful planning, genuine care, and someone in your corner every step of the way. That's where I come in. My family nicknamed me "Party Teej" because while I'm wired for precision and details, I also believe the best celebrations are the ones where everyone feels cared for, relaxed, and completely present. I love creating those moments, and I love watching my clients experience them. I also happen to believe this: Travel isn't a reward for working hard. It's a requirement for living well. Travel reconnects us. It gives us perspective. It strengthens relationships. It creates stories that become part of our family's history. Those memories are worth investing in. That's why Adventure Book Travel exists. I specialize in thoughtfully planned milestone adventures, bucket list trips, and ocean and river cruises for busy couples, families, and groups who want more than someone to book a vacation. They want an experienced advisor who listens, guides, advocates, and handles the details so they can focus on making memories. Because when you're celebrating one of life's biggest moments, "good enough" simply isn't good enough. Why Clients Trust Adventure Book Travel I plan every trip like I'm going with you. (I pinky promise I WON'T!!) Every hotel I recommend has either been personally experienced, carefully vetted, or confirmed by trusted partners on the ground. Every cruise line, itinerary, cabin category, and shore excursion is recommended because I know the difference between what looks great in a brochure and what actually delivers an exceptional experience. I'm detail-obsessed in the best possible way. I'll tell you which balcony cabins have obstructed views. Which resort is actually worth the upgrade. Which shore excursion consistently earns rave reviews. Which hidden gem deserves a spot on your itinerary. And sometimes, I'll tell you what not to do because I've already done the research for you. I'm picky so you don't have to be. More than anything, I'm your advocate. Before you travel. While you're away. Even after you've returned home. Because planning an unforgettable trip isn't just about where you go. It's about knowing someone is in your corner every step of the journey. Every unforgettable story begins somewhere; I happen to believe the best ones begin with a boarding pass.

Why travelers come back
We are having a great time. We wanted to send you a picture of us with the co-owner of AMA Waterways and her mom! They are so nice. We told her what a great travel agent you are!😊
Hi TJ - just had to send a note saying thank you for your help. We had a wonderful trip! The hotel in Paros was amazing! We loved the location and being about to walk down the hill to town. The service was great at the hotel helping make plans. The hotel room was nice but the outside space was amazing!! A+++ in our opinion! The hotel in Santorini was great too. We were so happy to be staying in Fira and we had access to a special tool that was maybe 30 feet from the activity. The Santorini sunset boat trip was our favorite day. The boat and crew were great, food was delicious, sunset was perfect!
Hi TJ, Happy New Year! I want to thank you for planning an amazing trip on Ama. And for your efforts pre-cruise to get Julie booked. We had a wonderful time - before, during and after the cruise. It was so much fun, and I love Ama. I’d definitely do another cruise with them. The Amsterdam windmill, cheese and wooden shoe tour was great. The tour guide was really good and she wore wooden shoes . I’d recommend her to other clients you may have going to Amsterdam. Same for the Salzburg tour. The guide was amazing, so knowledgeable. We enjoyed both tours immensely. They were fun and guides were very knowledgeable. Highly recommend both guides.
