Mexico

From Riviera Maya resorts to Oaxaca and Mexico City food trips — itineraries built around what you actually want, not the highest-commission package.

Europe

Multi-city routing, island-hopping in Greece, and first-time-in-Europe logistics untangled — planned by someone who travels there himself.

Your planner
Firstwatch Travel is Chris's own practice, built by someone who spent a career solving problems and talking to people for a living — now pointed at trip planning instead. Chris is an independent contractor affiliated with Atlas Coast Travel Group, giving every trip the backing, protections, and industry access of a full-service host agency.
Chris travels frequently to Europe himself and plans Caribbean, Mexico, and Europe trips for real families and couples, not templates. If something goes sideways mid-trip, you're calling a person who already knows your itinerary.
