About Me

Agent Specializing in Adventure Travel

Adventure travel offers unique experiences that immerse travelers in stunning landscapes and diverse cultures. Africa, particularly Kenya, is a remarkable destination know for its breathtaking wildlife safaris. Here, you can witness the Great Migration in the Maasai Mara or explore the beautiful landscapes of Amboseli National Park, with iconic views of Mount Kilimanjaro. In North America, Alaska stand out with its majestic wilderness. Glacier Bay National Park offers incredible opportunities for kayaking and wildlife viewing, from seal to magnificent humpback whales. The park's glaciers are a stunning sight, with calving events that showcase nature's raw power. For a truly different perspective, cruising allows travelers to explore diverse coastal regions, offering a relaxed way to access remote areas and witness stunning seascapes while enjoying onboard amenities. Each destination offers adventure that creates lasting memories.

Above and Beyond Every Step of the Journey
Reviewed By Kathy C. - Green, OH | Traveled to Danube | On the River | At Sea
Gretchen was far more than a travel advisor—she was the reason our Danube River Cruise was such an enjoyable and stress-free experience. From the beginning, she provided multiple travel options, allowing us to extend our stay in Budapest before the cruise and visit Prague afterward. Months before departure, she hosted a gathering at her home where she prepared foods inspired by the countries we would be visiting, answered questions, shared travel tips, and helped everyone feel prepared and excited for the trip. Throughout the planning process, Gretchen was knowledgeable, responsive, enthusiastic, and a pleasure to work with. She thought of every detail, even providing helpful travel items for the journey. Once we began traveling, Gretchen made sure everyone stayed organized and on schedule. Whether navigating airports, coordinating transportation, or helping travelers along the way, she kept our group moving smoothly and confidently. Onboard the AmaWaterways cruise, she continued to enhance the experience by organizing group dinners and arranging a private dining room for our group, creating opportunities for friendship and shared memories. What impressed me most was Gretchen's genuine passion for travel and her commitment to her clients. She doesn't simply book vacations—she creates experiences. Her professionalism, organization, and personal attention made this trip truly special. I highly recommend Gretchen to anyone looking for a memorable and worry-free travel experience.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Another Amazing Gretchen Adventure!
Reviewed By D & D - Barberton, Ohio | Traveled to Thailand | East and Southeast Asia
Our trip through Vietnam and Thailand was nothing short of amazing! The history, the culture, our guides, the rain!! We walked a guided tour through a market, ate amazing street foods, even bamboo worms!! Rode a Tuk Tuk in the rain. Some of us climbed sticky mountain. We got stuck in a historic flood driving to our next destination and our guides got us through it. We bathed, feed and hugged elephants. We jumped into a river from our floating cabin. We ate amazing food. Bought merchandise from the floating market. And let’s talk about a Thailand massage. The best ever!! Make sure you get one, even the foot, leg massage was amazing. The highlight of our trip was the Lantern festival. A Must do!! We even had the misfortune of having to go to a clinic and hospital visit in Phuket. Unbelievable care and service. Everyone was helpful at our hotel and getting us a ride to the hospital. And our visit cost us less than $300, that included an ultrasound, Specialist office visit and 3 prescriptions. The people are so friendly. Every trip we have booked with Gretchen, has been an adventure. And we just booked another. Can’t wait to see what she has planned for us in Spain and Portugal. ??
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Best trip EVER!!
Reviewed By Kim - Peninsula, Ohio | Traveled to Alaska | USA
I can’t recommend Gretchen highly enough! She planned the most incredible trip to Alaska for us and every detail was absolutely perfect! From the breathtaking glaciers and wildlife tours to the smooth transportation between areas,everything was seamless! What really stood out was the personal touch! Gretchen took the time to craft an itinerary that balanced adventure, relaxation, and stunning natural beauty! We saw whales in Juneau, explored Denali national park, and even got to experience walking on a glacier-something we will never forget! If you are thinking about visiting Alaska and want a stress free, expertly organized trip filed with unforgettable memories, look no further than Gretchen! This was easily one of the best travel experiences we’ve had and we owe it all to Gretchen!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Agent Extraordinaire
Reviewed By CSN - Smithville, Ohio | Traveled to Denali National Park | Alaska | USA
Gretchen designs trips based on participants' input. A great communicator, she patiently answered (& re-answered ;) all of our questions. Gretchen excels at creating a seamless travel experience - whether engaging local greeters, tour guides and/or alternative modes of transportation. Finally, she arranges local activities that are genuine and informative. My husband and I have traveled on 3 or 4 Gretchen trips (losing count!) and have signed up for 2 more - we are fans.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
