Untold Adventures Travel is a boutique travel agency that works with friend & family groups to create memorable experiences while they maximize their time together on the most luxurious cruise vacations the Mexican Riviera & Caribbean have to offer.
My name is Tim Kersting – I am a Travel Agent and CEO of Untold Adventures Travel, Inc. Our travel agency is an independent affiliate within the Avoya Travel network. Among a number of industry certifications, I am proud to be an active Certified Travel Advisor (CTA) graduate from The Travel Institute, and Certified Cruise Counselor (CCC) graduate from the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA).
I’m crazy about developing vacation itineraries to allow your group to deepen individual relationships within the group while creating life-long traditions and memories.
I come from a large family and, like most people, I enjoy spending time with them.
As the middle sibling of 7, I grew up spending a lot of time in the kitchen with my mom, my favorite cook. I’ll always cherish the fond memories I have of helping her cater weddings and other large events. I developed a love of baking as a result, and I’m positive this is where my passion for hospitality began as I developed my love for organizing and coordinating group functions.
I likewise spent a substantial amount of time in the garage wrenching on cars, fixing things around the house, and working with my dad in his upholstery shop. Without a doubt, this fed into my love for creativity and finding solutions. He taught me that with the right tools, anything can be fixed. A mindset that has served me well as I approach travel planning for my clients.
My circle of supporters is really my second family, they are my community. Over the years, my wife and I have loved organizing large group outings for our friends, tailgate parties at our local sporting events, and vacations with our family and friends. This always brings us joy which is why we’ve made group travel our focus within Untold Adventures Travel.
I can’t thank you enough for stopping by and considering Untold Adventures Travel for your vacation planning needs.
As I mentioned above, I am a travel agent who works with family & friend groups to create memorable experiences and maximize their time together on the most luxurious cruise vacations that the Mexican Riviera & Caribbean have to offer.
My passion for curating organic opportunities for your group to deepen relationships and create life-long memories will always be my drive as I join your team to work together to accomplish that goal.

Packing for your upcoming cruise doesn’t have to stress you out. We all want to look our best right?
After years of travel experience, we have compiled a list of the essentials to make sure your cruise gets started with a bang, and as stress-free as possible.
Because we don’t know what tomorrow will bring, I love the motto:
“Make today your best yesterday!”
This isn’t to mean that I believe you should live in an irresponsible, or even immoral way, rather I believe you should be actively making great memories for and about yourself, especially when it can serve your higher purpose at the same time.
Like most entrepreneurs, I come from a background of varied opportunities and experiences, successes and failures, and even vocations. All of which has prepared me for this season of life. It’s when I am in the service of others that I am most joyful and at my best.
Before stepping into travel full-time, I started, grew, and ran a successful swimming pool maintenance business in the San Francisco Bay Area for the better part of two decades. Early on, I worked in the medical devices field as a journeyman R&D machinist for a Fortune 500 company. I also enjoyed a brief stop as a Real Estate Agent and even learned how to be a recreational league softball umpire.
Sure, not much to do with travel right? With all that varied experience I have found that I am at my personal best when I can clearly identify how I am helping others become the best versions of themselves. I love helping people travel, and more especially, I enjoy helping groups travel together. I believe when we experience this beautiful world, the people we experience it with add depth and joy.
I’ve experienced this with my own travel groups and I’ve seen it through the eyes of my valued client’s travel groups. I have also seen what happens when group planning doesn’t go as expected, an all too often scenario, unfortunately. The best way to get started is by setting an appointment using our scheduler here, you may still be wondering why you should use a travel agent though.
Every group I work with obviously has an overarching reason to travel that is greater than the sum of its parts. The reasons vary, maybe it’s to celebrate Grandma and Grandpa’s 50th, maybe it’s a cancer survival support group that wants to have a celebration of life event, a NASCAR fan group going to the Daytona 500 and then a cruise, or perhaps your mom, or dad, group wants to take all the kids on their first cruise together.
Each individual, or family unit, within the group, has their reason why they may want to, or need to, be on that vacation. Those reasons ultimately add to the group as a whole having an impactful journey together. When those purposes combine I am thrilled to have a share in bringing it all together.
I am the most fulfilled when I can serve others in this way. When the group is planned and everything works to perfection, each individual, each family unit comes away feeling like the vacation was planned for them alone. At the same time, the group’s overall purpose is fulfilled as designed, and the memories together and connections made will last a lifetime.
I believe that the most widespread value and inspiration I can provide is private to my email list.
Many of our clients value the group insights, market trends, and destination ideas they have received and have turned those into some very memorable group vacations.
