Meet Jacob Odencrantz: A Visionary Force in Travel-Airline GDS system power user and travel agent with over 25 years of experience.

Introducing Jacob Odencrantz, the visionary force behind Counsel Travel, a venture born amidst the turbulence of the Covid-19 Pandemic in 2020-2021. While skeptics questioned the logic of launching a travel business during such uncertain times, Jacob's unwavering passion for exploration and belief in the transformative power of journeys fueled his entrepreneurial spirit.

A Symphony of Travel Experiences:

Having explored over 60 countries and lived abroad, Jacob's adult life has been a symphony of travel experiences. Yet, his true commitment lies not just in destinations but in the people he serves—his clients. A self-proclaimed connoisseur of genuine expertise, Jacob challenges the conventional idea of a destination expert. For those curious about his proficiency, he invites you to test his knowledge, daring you to compare it with other so-called 'experts' in the field.

Rooted in Practicality, Grounded in Luxury:

Beginning his career in the realm of Budget travel, Jacob's journey took a turn towards luxury—an environment he knew intimately from childhood, thanks to his father's involvement in the luxury hotel business. Despite this affinity, his approach remains rooted in practicality and delivering the highest overall value for travelers. The initial years saw him assisting college students in maximizing their adventures on limited budgets.

In the latter part of his career, Jacob found himself back in the lap of luxury, excelling at booking high-priority leisure clients for a top-tier corporate travel agency. However, the pandemic prompted a reassessment of priorities. While he cherished his time at the corporate agency, the broad focus and lack of emphasis on leisure travel left him yearning for more.

From Corporate to Counsel Travel:

Driven by a desire to make a meaningful impact and inspired by the countless individuals he assisted during the pandemic, Jacob established Counsel Travel as a pure advisement service. This shift allows him to extend his expertise to a wider audience, transcending the limitations of a traditional client list. As an advisor, he stands ready to help anyone with a travel dream, ensuring that the spark of wanderlust is never extinguished, even in the face of adversity.
