Derek Schemonitz, Owner/Founder & Lead Luxury Advisor.
"I didn't become a travel advisor to book flights. I became one because I believe the right journey, planned with intention, genuinely changes people.
Over 25 years I've learned that the difference between a good trip and an unforgettable one rarely comes down to the destination — it comes down to who planned it, and how well they listened. Every client I work with gets the same thing: my full attention. Not a template. Not an algorithm. A dedicated advisor who knows your name, your preferences, and your standards — and who has spent decades building the relationships to exceed them.
That's what Mr. Travel Agent has always been. And it's what we're now growing into something bigger.
In 2026, Mr. Travel Agent is expanding — welcoming six exceptional new remote luxury travel advisors, each bringing their own expertise, clientele, and passion for the craft. Alongside them, a new global network of luxury travel influencers extends our reach to potential travellers everywhere who deserve this level of service.
We remain a boutique agency at heart. But our world just got a lot wider."
Located in the South Hills of Pittsburgh, PA, I'll meet clients in person for travel consultations at local cafes with WiFi, such as a Panera or Starbucks, etc. Where we can sit down over a coffee, breakfast, lunch and begin curating your journey.
