Recently, he's been focused on island travel, like the trip he planned for clients to Playa Grande, in the Dominican Republic, which included a sunrise breakfast in the jungle, humpback-whale watching, and ocean kayaking. For another family who had suffered the loss of a loved one, he curated a special visit to coastal Papagayo and Arenal in Costa Rica so they could connect with nature and safely enjoy a much needed break and time to heal. "Throughout the difficult time," he says, "it reminded me what we do is much, much more than simply sell exotic getaways and unique experiences."

The arts, music, and natural habitat are a wonderland of inspiration, and I came home with fascinating pieces of art and vivid memories. John's attention to detail and communication were professional and personal; and a highlight was an invitation to attend an exclusive New Year's Eve party in Rio, high above Copacabana overlooking the millions of celebrants on the beach below. With the amount of traveling I do, I'm very appreciative of John Clifford's expertise every step of the way." – Keith B.
