Cruises, resorts, and unforgettable getaways — expertly planned so you can focus on making memories, not managing logistics.
A Travel Agency Built by Someone Who Actually Travels
Hi, I'm Dustin — father of 5, avid cruiser, and the founder of Waves of Adventure of NC. I didn't become a travel agent by accident. I became one because I love travel, I know travel, and I got tired of watching people settle for mediocre vacations when incredible ones are just as easy to plan.
Based in North Carolina and affiliated with Fora Travel, I help adventurous families and individuals book cruises, resorts, and getaways that actually deliver — no guesswork, no booking regret, no hours lost researching options online.
"Adventure is out there — let me help you find it."
— Dustin
