Derek Schemonitz, Owner/Founder & Lead Luxury Advisor.
I didn’t become a travel advisor to simply book flights—I chose this path because I believe the right journey, thoughtfully planned, can truly transform people. With over 25 years of experience, I’ve learned that unforgettable travel isn’t defined by the destination alone, but by the care, detail, and understanding behind its planning. Every client I work with receives my full attention—no templates, no algorithms—just a dedicated advisor who listens, understands, and delivers beyond expectations.
Mr. Travel Agent is now expanding in 2026, welcoming five luxury advisors and a global network of travel influencers, while staying boutique at heart.
Based in South Hills, Pittsburgh, I also offer in-person consultations at local cafés, where we can connect over coffee and start designing your perfect, tailored journey together.
