Welcome to the Brian Travels website. My name is Brian Auten and I have a passion for traveling and seeing new sights and cultures. I grew up in the Midwest and graduated from Eastern Michigan University. After graduating, I opened and ran a successful photography studio for nearly 20 years. During that time, I began to travel and realized how much I loved being able to see new destinations and experience different cultures. As I traveled more, I had a desire to share these amazing experiences with friends and family. Brian Travels evolved from this. I am thrilled to offer the opportunity to others to travel with me, and allow me to use my knowledge from my vast travels, to help make the most memorable vacation experiences by planning and organizing small group tours from ports of call on cruise ships.
