CxC Travel was built on a simple idea: trip planning should feel like getting advice from a friend who's actually good at it — not a search engine with 400 open tabs.
Jesse and Sam co-founded CxC Travel right here in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, because they were tired of watching friends and family burn entire weekends comparing hotels in a dozen browser tabs — only to overpay and still miss the perks a good advisor could've unlocked for free. Both are lifelong travel lovers, and CxC Travel is their answer to a simple question: what if planning a trip was actually easy?
A born-and-raised Pittsburgher, Jesse has racked up his passport stamps two ways — chasing work across the country and chasing good trips on his own time. That split perspective is exactly why he co-founded CxC Travel: he's sat on both sides of a booking, the rushed business trip and the trip you actually planned for, and knows firsthand how much difference the right advisor makes to either one.
Also Pittsburgh through and through, Sam travels purely for the love of it — which means every itinerary he builds gets the same scrutiny he'd want for his own trip. He co-founded CxC Travel to put that same care behind every client's vacation, not just his own.
CxC Travel isn't a call center. It's Jesse and Sam, based right here in Pittsburgh, personally handling your trip from first message to final itinerary.
