The Travelers, Planners, and Visionaries Behind Curated Travel
Our mission is simple: to make the travel agency experience personal. No templates, no guesswork. Just people who listen, plan, and deliver trips that feel like they were made for you. Because they are.
Built on Family, Fueled by Travel
When you travel with HOTE Travel, you’re treated like family because you become part of ours.
Sibling founders, Aaron Caplan and Erica Brennan, grew up with a suitcase in one hand and a passport in the other. They’ve visited countless countries, stayed in more hotels than they can remember, and built industry connections that span the globe.
This early exposure to travel shaped their appreciation for quality hospitality and attention to detail, allowing them to sort the so-so from the spectacular so that you can enjoy the vacation of your dreams effortlessly.
Furthermore, it’s Aaron and Erica’s shared travel expertise that inspired their pursuit of revitalizing the travel industry by providing top-tier training and support to future agents, fostering a network of trusted Travel Curators who are also living their dreams.
We turn your travel dreams into unforgettable, tailor-made experiences that are a perfect fit for your vacation style.
From the first inquiry to the final boarding pass, HOTE Travel is committed to seamless travel with personalized touches that go beyond expectations.
