Meet Cpt. CLRogerson
I’ve lived a few different lives.
Corporate executive. Captain. Traveler. Writer.
I’ve spent decades navigating oceans, countries, and major transitions, often at the helm, sometimes in the margins, always learning how people move through the world.
My career began far from docks and foreign train stations. I spent decades in healthcare leadership, building systems, solving problems, and guiding people through high-stakes environments. It taught me discipline, calm under pressure, and the importance of clarity when things get complicated.
But the truth is, the sea was always calling.
Travel was always calling.
Eventually, I made the decision to step away from the familiar path and into one built on exploration, crossing oceans, roaming cities, and rebuilding life with intention rather than momentum.
That shift didn’t just change my surroundings.
It changed my worldview.
The Thread That Connects It All
Whether steering a vessel, running an organization, or designing a journey through a foreign country, the principles are the same:
Understand the environment
Respect the unknown
Read the currents, literal and metaphorical
Plan for the expected
Stay calm for the unexpected
Move with intention
These are not tourist skills.
These are navigation skills, for travel, for leadership, for life.
Over the years, friends, colleagues, and eventually clients began asking me to help them plan trips, adjust their routes, or make sense of destinations they didn’t fully understand. They wanted the same clarity I used in my own life: strategic thinking applied to movement.
That is how this work began.
Not as a business idea, but as a natural extension of how I see the world and interact with it.
Why People Work With Me
Not because I claim to know everything.
But because I pay attention, and I’ve lived enough life in enough environments to know what matters when you’re far from home.
My clients value that I am calm, clear, and intentional. They trust that if I design their journey, it will be thoughtful, grounded, and human.
I don’t chase volume.
I don’t automate (much).
I don’t take on clients who want “cheap” or “fast.”
I work with people who appreciate experience, clarity, and the comfort that comes from having someone competent in their corner.
A Final Note
Travel isn’t an escape for me. It’s a way of operating. A way to stay sharp, aware, and engaged with the world instead of drifting through it.
My clients don’t hire me to make their lives dramatic, they hire me to make their lives easier and more meaningful.
If we work together, that’s exactly what I’ll do.
What I Do Now
Today, I help individuals and families travel with more confidence, depth, and intention. I design journeys that reflect who they are, how they prefer to move, and what they want to feel, not what a search engine or even AI spits out.
I offer high-touch travel strategy and concierge services for those who want more than logistics. They want perspective. They want ease. They want someone who has actually been out there, paying attention.
I also continue to travel, captain vessels, speak about leadership and transitions, and pursue the kind of experiences that make life interesting and stories worth telling.
