Personal travel planning with Horizon Curator.

PERSONAL TRAVEL PLANNING

01 / YOUR JOURNEY

02 / PERSONALLY CURATED

Personal travel planning, from the first idea to the final details.

I'm an independent travel advisor with Fora Travel, working through Horizon Curator. I approach travel planning with curiosity, careful research, and an eye for the details that can make a trip exceptional.

I look beyond the obvious options, weighing experiences, logistics, and costs to find what makes sense for you. Whether that means discovering somewhere unexpected, choosing the right route, or knowing when something is worth the extra expense, I want every recommendation to have a reason behind it.

FOR YOUR CURIOSITY

Follow your curiosity.

Explore an unfamiliar city, experience another culture, or take the scenic route through the mountains. Sometimes the most memorable parts of a trip are the unexpected discoveries—a neighborhood you hadn't planned to visit, a local tradition, or a place you might otherwise have passed by.

FOR THE TIME TOGETHER

Some journeys are meant to be shared.

A family adventure, a milestone anniversary, or an experience you've dreamed of sharing with someone special. From discovering new places together to celebrating life's important moments, these are the journeys you'll remember for years.

The best place to begin
is with what matters to you.

04 / THE EXPERIENCE

The details matter.
But they shouldn’t be
what you remember.

  1. 01 /

    Let’s talk

    We start with your destination ideas, travel dates, interests, priorities, and budget. You don’t need every detail figured out before reaching out.

  2. 02 /

    Explore the options

    I research suitable accommodations, experiences, transportation, and travel arrangements. I’ll help compare possibilities and identify where spending more—or less—makes sense.

  3. 03 /

    Bring it together

    Once we’ve agreed on a direction, I assist with eligible reservations and help organize the details into a coherent travel plan.

  4. 04 /

    Get ready to go

    I'll make sure you have the important details and information you need before departure. And if questions arise about the arrangements I've helped book, you'll have someone familiar with your trip to reach out to.

Some complex or noncommissionable planning services may involve a planning fee. Any fee is discussed and disclosed beforehand.

05 / YOUR TRAVEL ADVISOR

The person behind the journey.

I'm Matt MacPherson, the travel advisor behind Horizon Curator.

I've always loved discovering what makes a place interesting—whether it's an unexpected stop, a scenic journey, or an experience worth going out of the way for.

What I enjoy most is helping others discover possibilities they hadn't considered. That curiosity is what keeps me exploring, and it's what I bring to every trip I help plan.

06 / THE NEXT CHAPTER

Imagine the stories
you’ll bring home.

The best part of travel is often what stays with you afterward. The unexpected discoveries, the time spent together, and the experiences you'll find yourself talking about long after you've returned home.

Every journey starts somewhere. Let's start planning yours.
