About Farholm
A travel agency that works the way you’d want one to.
Farholm takes its name from Old Norse — “far” meaning distant, “holm” meaning a small island. It’s the place just over the horizon. Discover your own story.
Built on a simple belief
Farholm was built on a simple belief: everyone deserves a well-planned trip, not just those with unlimited budgets. We’re a full-service travel agency that brings the same care and attention to a family beach vacation as we do to a luxury cruise through the Greek Islands.
We’re not a booking engine, and we’re not a relic from another era. We’re a modern travel agency run by a real person who gets to know how you like to travel, what matters to you, and what will make your trip feel right. That means honest recommendations, transparent pricing, and support that doesn’t disappear after you’ve paid.
Based in the Pittsburgh area — serving the North Hills and clients across 47 US states — Farholm is an accredited travel agency with industry memberships and supplier partnerships that give our clients access to added perks, competitive rates, and priority support.
The person behind Farholm
Every recommendation comes from somewhere
Farholm is run by Jake, who has traveled to 42 countries and territories across all seven continents and brings firsthand experience to every recommendation. He’s sailed a few dozen ships, from mainstream Caribbean lines to ultra-luxury voyages, and knows from experience which cabins, decks, and itineraries are worth your money. He’s flown with carriers across every major airline alliance and knows the ins and outs of loyalty programs, upgrade strategies, and complex routing. Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a family holiday, or an adults-only escape, Jake has been there and can help you make the right choices.
