About the Founder

Senior Travel Companions was created by Sherwin Pagtakhan, a lifelong caregiver, father, and advocate for safe, dignified senior travel. After helping his own family members navigate airports, medical trips, and long‑distance travel, he saw how much stress families carry when a loved one needs support on the road. Today, he brings patience, professionalism, and compassion to every trip, treating each traveler like family.
