For over fifteen years, Bradley Schnickel has been helping families, couples, and solo travelers turn their vacation dreams into reality. Raised in New Prague, a small community just outside of Minneapolis, Minnesota, Brad's love for travel began early. That passion only grew stronger over time, eventually leading him to pursue a full-time career as a travel advisor. Today, he combines his deep industry knowledge with personal experience to create unforgettable trips for his clients.

Bradley’s journey into travel planning was inspired by his own adventures. While earning his Bachelor of Arts at the University of Michigan, he met his future wife. After getting married in 2003, the couple welcomed their son, Bradley Schnickel Jr. Since then, travel has been an essential part of their family life. From exploring Europe’s historic cities to cruising through the Caribbean and visiting every theme park in the United States, the Schnickel family has built a lifetime of memories—one vacation at a time.

These personal experiences are at the heart of Brad’s approach to travel planning. He understands firsthand how challenging it can be to balance dreams with budgets, especially when coordinating travel for families. His goal is to take the stress out of planning so his clients can focus on enjoying their trip. Whether it’s a honeymoon, anniversary celebration, or spontaneous weekend getaway, Brad is committed to providing guidance that saves time and money.

As a seasoned travel advisor, Brad does much more than book flights and hotels. He works closely with clients to craft personalized itineraries based on their interests, preferences, and budget. From finding the perfect beach resort to recommending hidden gems in Europe, he brings insider knowledge that can’t be found in online searches. He also advises travelers on the best time to visit certain destinations, how to pack efficiently, and how to make the most of limited vacation days.

In an era when booking travel online has never been easier, many people still choose to work with professionals like Bradley Schnickel—and for good reason. Travel advisors offer peace of mind. They have access to exclusive deals, partnerships with top hotels and cruise lines, and firsthand knowledge of destinations. They also advocate for their clients when unexpected changes arise, such as flight delays or cancellations. With Brad in your corner, you're never alone when navigating travel hiccups.

One of the highlights of working with Brad is his ability to uncover great value. For those who enjoy spontaneity, last-minute deals can lead to huge savings—and Brad knows exactly where to find them. He’s also an expert at stretching a budget without sacrificing quality, whether that means finding all-inclusive packages or planning multi-destination trips with smart timing.

Brad shares his best travel tips, destination highlights, and budget-friendly advice on his blog. His writing is packed with practical insights drawn from years of experience and hundreds of trips. Whether you're looking for guidance on a family-friendly cruise, advice on international travel with kids, or a breakdown of the best time to visit popular attractions, Brad’s blog is a valuable resource for travelers at every level.

Above all, Bradley Schnickel is committed to delivering personalized, first-class service. He understands that every traveler is unique and tailors each trip accordingly.
