MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER
Hi, I'm Sam.
This started with 107 countries and a lot of notes.
I've spent years traveling, not on fixed itineraries, but the kind of travel where you stay long enough to find the neighborhood locals actually eat in, stumble across places you would never find on a map, or get invited into experiences you could never plan from a guidebook. Along the way, I took notes, built relationships, and became completely fascinated by what separates a good trip from one you think about for years afterward.
Eventually, friends started asking me the same question over and over: "Can you just plan this for me?"
And honestly, I loved doing it.
I loved finding the perfect place to stay. I loved obsessing over the details, uncovering places people might otherwise miss, and putting everything together in a way that made a trip feel effortless and completely personal. What started as something I did for the people around me slowly became something I could not stop thinking about.
Solis & Co. is the result of that passion. It is something I have poured myself into and something I genuinely care about building. It started with my own experiences and my own belief that travel should feel personal, exciting, and unlike the trip everyone else is taking.
Today, that vision has grown into a team that shares the same obsession with creating exceptional travel experiences. Together, we combine firsthand knowledge, trusted relationships, extensive research, and an incredible amount of care to create trips that feel considered from the very first conversation to the moment you come home.
We are not a database of hotels, and we are not an algorithm recommending whatever happens to be trending. Solis & Co. is built on real experiences, real relationships, and a genuine love for discovering the world and sharing it with other people.
This business is my baby, and I want every trip we create to feel like it matters. Because to us, planning your trip is never just about booking where you sleep or deciding what you do. It is about creating the kind of experience you will still be talking about long after you are home.
