Hi, I’m Franco — Co-Founder of Dorian Destinations and the advisor who handles the bold end of our catalogue. I’m a creative producer by trade and an adventure travel specialist by passion, and I build high-touch, high-impact journeys for travelers who crave the extraordinary: polar expeditions, cultural deep dives, and the routes most people only read about.

The best journeys don’t just show you the world — they change something in you.

The Bold End of the Catalogue

Antarctica. The Galápagos. The high Arctic. Small ships, serious guides, and itineraries built around moments you can’t get anywhere else. If your idea of travel involves fewer crowds and more firsts, that’s exactly the kind of trip I love to plan.

Bold doesn’t mean rough. Every expedition I design is backed by the same white-glove planning that defines everything Dorian Destinations does — the adventure is in the destination, never in the logistics.

A Producer’s Eye for Detail

My background as a creative producer shapes how I plan: a great journey has pacing, contrast, and a story arc. I think about how each day opens and closes, when to push and when to rest, and what moment you’ll still be talking about ten years from now.

The Dorian Destinations Podcast

Alongside my wife and Co-Founder Shannon, I co-host the award-winning Dorian Destinations Podcast — cruise and expedition news, destination deep-dives, and honest advisor talk about where travel is headed.

Whether you’re eyeing a polar sailing, an off-the-beaten-path route, or a cultural journey that goes deeper than the guidebooks, reach out. Let’s build a trip that changes something.
