Family and European Travel Specialist
I became a Vacation Designer so I could help busy families, just like yours, carve out time to focus on what's really important, each other.
My grandparents instilled in me a love for travel from a young age. And while our travels with my grandparents spanned the globe from Australia and New Zealand, to the Mexican Riviera, to Yellowstone National Park, it's the memories and quality time with them that I cherish most.
I know that while we all want these amazing vacations, finding the time to plan them can be tough. We're all busy, and as a mom of 4, I get it! However, I also know that unplugging and reconnecting with family and friends is too important to end up at the bottom of a To-Do list.
How can I help your family make lifelong memories together?

Amazing Greek Adventure
Reviewed By The Ito Family - Chicago, IL | Traveled to Greece ~ Europe
We had the very best experience working with Gretchen on our once-in-a-lifetime family trip to Greece. She found the most amazing excursions for us, as well as wonderful hotels. Transfers ran like clockwork and were in new, posh vehicles. Tour guides were friendly, knowledgable and spoke English well. She arranged everything we needed, and communicated the plans to us clearly and thoroughly. I can not recommend her highly enough!

Gretchen is amazing! She is extremely knowledgeable, organized and thoughtful! Not only did she prepare everything for us ahead of time, she listened to what I wanted and was open to feedback and she gave great advice to help make the trip perfect! She was available when we were in Greece to help us problem solve some unexpected challenges on our trip. She went above and beyond and was very resourceful!
