Meet Michael & John
We’re Michael and John — travel-obsessed husbands, adventure seekers, and the heartbeat of Polari Travel Club.
Michael’s style? A mix of ‘go, go, go’ tours, cultural deep-dives, and making sure every moment counts. He’s the one who will convince you that the sunrise hike really is worth it — and then make sure you know the best café for breakfast afterwards.
John’s style? Chill vibes, good beer, and plenty of time to relax. He’s happiest with a local brew in hand, people-watching in a piazza, or finding the best little neighborhood spot no guidebook will ever mention.
Together, we bring decades of hospitality and planning experience, along with a shared belief that travel should be effortless, joyful, and inclusive. We started Polari Travel Club because we wanted to create a space where our community could feel celebrated every step of the journey.
When we’re not planning adventures, you’ll probably find us cooking (Michael’s an avid baker, John’s the grill master), exploring with our dogs, or daydreaming about our next big trip.
For us, it’s not just about where you go — it’s about how you feel when you’re there. Our mission is simple: to give you trips full of laughter, connection, and stories you’ll tell long after you’re home.
