– MICHAEL DISTLER, CEO AVONTUUR

 Born in Massachusetts, Michael grew up in Boca Raton in South Florida. Throughout his childhood he enjoyed boating, fishing, wakeboarding, skiing, camping, truly any and all time spent outside. His early interests in sporting activities and the outdoors ignited Michael’s desire to travel personally. His appreciation for new, hands-on experiences and life-changing memories made while traveling spawned his dedication to help others experience all the world has to offer.

Michael earned his Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Management from Florida State University in 2005 and immediately set his sights on experiencing – and sharing – the wonders of the world. With a focus on gaining experience overseas, he lived and studied abroad in Switzerland while completing a second Bachelor of Science Degree in Hospitality Administration in 2006.

Ever since Michael has committed his career to fulfilling each client’s ultimate travel dreams. He gained industry expertise as a luxury travel advisor while working within the esteemed Virtuoso network for more than 15 years.

Michael has been featured in Luxury Travel Advisor, Travel Agent Magazine and other leading industry publications for his specialization in luxury safari travel planning, it’s his clients’ continued trust, boundless five-star reviews and high remarks that he values most.

Inspired by a passion to help clients define their own “Avontuur” and bring extraordinary plans to life, Michael launched Avontuur Travel International, Inc, in 2021.

What is Avontuur? The word itself is a noun defined as a remarkable or exciting experience, an adventure. But we all define things differently, don’t we? Our Travel Advisors will help you explore your own ideas, priorities, and budget to design your own customized Avontuur or join an exclusive guided journey.

 How do you define luxury?

Where do you wish to explore next?

Avontuur can be an exploration of a new frontier or a return trip to your favorite corner of the planet. What is compelling and most powerful to one traveler may be different from many others. We understand how to listen, accommodate your special requests and exceed your expectations.

You may have noticed that we honor the beauty, vastness, and intrigue of the Eye of Africa in the Avontuur brand logo. The unique natural wonder inspires our approach to personalized travel planning that caters to each client’s travel dreams.

Allow our Advisors to ensure every detail is perfectly planned so you can discover things you never knew existed, journey deep into nature, expand your viewpoints while learning about history, where history was made, and indulge with cuisine as diverse as your desired destinations. Wherever you decide to venture to next, Avontuur will serve as your guide as we help to provoke your own curiosities, cultivate your mind and fill your soul.
