Effortless Planning, Extraordinary Journeys.
-
Have questions before we begin? The FAQ page answers the most common ones about timelines, pricing, and what to expect at each step.
-
You connect with me via text, email, or social media. I'll answer any initial questions you have about destinations, timing, or what working together looks like.
-
I'll send you a link to book a time that works for you. No pressure to decide anything on the spot. Take the time you need to think it over.
-
If you're ready to move forward, any planning fee is paid before I begin building your trip. This also includes the standard paperwork, like a credit card authorization form covering my fee and any trip costs I pay on your behalf, as well as terms & conditions.
-
Whether I'm booking pieces of your trip directly or working with a trusted local partner in your destination, this stage involves back-and-forth — I bring you options, you weigh in, and we make adjustments until every detail feels right.
-
Once the plan is set, a deposit secures your trip.
-
For trips with future payments — like cruises with balance-due dates — I track every deadline so nothing is missed. If I'm booking pieces individually, you'll pay as each component is confirmed.
-
If you're planning far in advance, there may be quiet stretches between check-ins — that's normal. I'll reach out at key points as your trip approaches to make sure everything's on track.
-
Before you depart, I put together a phone app with everything in one place — your itinerary, tickets, confirmations, restaurant reservations, and more. No digging through emails; it's all on your phone when you need it.
-
I check in during your trip and I'm available the whole time you're away — for questions, changes, or if anything unexpected comes up.
-
I follow up to confirm you're back safely and your trip wrapped up the way it should.

What My Clients Are Saying
A TRUE REVELATION
"You hit the ball out of the park. We've had a lovely time, experienced great activities, and had great meals. But the best part was the family time and memories we made, thanks to you. I don't think we'll do such a trip again without your help. It was a revelation."

ITALIAN ADVENTURE
“Gina helped me plan an amazing trip to Italy! My son is studying in Florence, so we wanted to visit him, but also take in other attractions in Italy. I told Gina what was important to us and a few things we wanted to do for sure. She came back with suggestions and advice that allowed us to see several cities/villages without being overwhelmed. We ended up biking/wine tasting in the Tuscan hills, hiking in Cinque Terra and having a semi-private tour thru the Vatican and Colosseum. It was all well planned and wonderful. Definitely would work with Gina again!'“

WORLD-CLASS
"First, the three guides have been superb (better than excellent, if that's possible), deeply knowledgeable, and seemingly passionate about what we were seeing. As an example, our guide today possessed three (!!!) doctoral degrees. Second, the places we've seen have been amazing -- especially the Vatican, which just blew me away. Third, our hotel has been awesome. Finally, the restaurant where you got us reservations was exactly what we were looking for. So all in all, a thoroughly enjoyable experience. On to Florence!"

ANNIVERSARY TRIP
“Gina was recommended by one of my husband’s coworkers who planned his family trip to Portugal earlier in the year. She asked lots of questions to get a sense of what we were looking for, how we liked to travel, etc. Gina was very communicative as the trip was being planned. She did a fantastic job making all the arrangements in a relatively short period of time. Gina checked in during the trip to see how things were going and if we needed any further assistance while we were traveling. If you need assistance with planning a vacation, I would 10 stars recommend Gina!
