Hi, I’m Joseph.

A dad of four from Canandaigua, New York, and the planner behind Joseph the Travel Genie.

Known professionally as Joseph the Travel Genie, I’m an independent travel advisor with Genie Travel Company, based in Canandaigua, New York. I work with families across the Finger Lakes, Rochester, and Upstate New York, and with clients planning from anywhere in the U.S.

As a dad of four, I plan the way families actually travel. Nap windows, stroller access, meal timing, and which rides are worth a long wait all factor in, the practical details that decide whether a park day goes smoothly.

Beyond Disney, I plan Universal Orlando vacations and cruises with Royal Caribbean®, Carnival Cruise Line®, and Celebrity Cruises®.
