About Me

Luxury Travel Advisor

I’ve been an avid traveler for most of my life. Growing up, I spent every summer exploring the U.S. with my family, and my passion for international travel began when I visited the U.K. at age 16. Since then, I’ve continued to plan and take unforgettable trips—to places like Hawaii, Costa Rica, and across Europe.

I naturally became the go-to trip planner for friends and family, organizing everything from action-packed adventures to laid-back beach escapes in destinations like the Caribbean, Turks and Caicos, and Mexico. I personally love active vacations and try to fill each day with new experiences, but I also know the value of a relaxing getaway with nothing on the agenda but sunshine and good food.

Realizing I was already acting as a travel advisor in many ways, I decided to make it official and turn my passion into a career. I became a Certified Peru Agent and have gained extensive experience planning travel throughout Europe, particularly to destinations such as Italy, England, Wales, and Spain.

I joined my best friend in 2023 and now co-own World on the Fly Travel.  I’m excited to share my experience and knowledge with clients. Whether you’re looking for an immersive, active itinerary or a relaxing retreat, I look forward to helping you plan a journey that fits your travel style and exceeds your expectations.

Live Like a Local

Paris is calling!
Paris is calling!

 Travel has the power to change perspectives and deepen connections; some of the most meaningful experiences come from truly immersing oneself in a destination. One of the most impactful journeys I’ve taken was a summer spent living with a family in England.

This experience has only deepened my belief that the best travel isn’t just about seeing the sights, it's about living like a local. Whether it’s sharing meals with locals, exploring hidden neighborhoods, or taking part in local traditions,

I love helping my clients plan trips that go beyond the tourist path.As your travel advisor, I’m here to help craft a journey that’s rich in culture, flavor, and authentic experiences—where you don’t just visit a place, you feel like you belong there.

Croatia - adventures with the girls
Reviewed By HVK - Baltimore Maryland | Traveled to Croatia | Europe
A friend arranged a 10 day adventure trip on the Dalmatian coast of Croatia for 6 60+yo women through Amy Gies at World on the Fly. We travelled from Split through a few islands to Dubrovnik. We went river rafting, biking, e-biking, kayaking, hiking and boating! We had historic tours, wine tastings and oyster tastings amidst our activities. Truthfully we run a range of fitness and opting out was always a possibility with local guide suggestions for alternatives. It helps that our trip was in September (significantly less tourists-though still quite a few) and weather was perfect. The trip was a smash success due to Amy’s coordination with local guides. We were always warmly welcomed (sometimes with sparkling wine!) and well handled without feeling handled. I highly recommend Amy! Kudos and thanks!

"Thank you for this wonderful review! I’m glad to hear how much you enjoyed the experience. It sounds like you made the most of every bit of it! Working with our wonderful local guides and partners is an important part of creating these kinds of trips, so it means a lot to hear that you felt so well cared for along the way. Thank you again for trusting me to plan a such special trip for your group. I hope this is just the beginning of many more adventures together! Amy"

Girls trip to Croatia
Reviewed By Kiel - Baltimore, MD | Traveled to Croatia | Europe
The trip was a lot of fun. All drivers and logistics worked out great. The actual activities I found did not live up to their descriptions, as outline below -Split accommodations The Time Hotel was OK, but being closer to or in the old town would have made the time in Split much improved. -rafting was very gentle with low level 2 rapids only -the “catamaran” to Havar was a ferry, not a pleasure cruise on a catamaran as the picture you included indicated. -the private boat tour - no snorkeling offered, one beautiful beach to swim, great lunch, swim in a harbor with moving boats to watch for, and then back. A beautiful boat, nice skipper and first mate, but it lacked activity that you outlined. -Guest house Matana had a lot to be desired, not very nice, although the proprietors were great. -Bike Tour and wine tasting in Dubrovnik- although beautiful scenery and nice ride, the bikes were old, not in great working order, and not properly sized; and the tasting was a glass of white and a quick sip of red. In general a second rate operation.

"Thank you for the honest and detailed feedback. I’m glad the trip was a lot of fun overall and that the drivers and logistics worked well. I’m sorry some activities and accommodations didn’t live up to expectations. I’ll pass your specific feedback along to our suppliers. I know we also had a budget to keep in mind, but the experiences should still match what was described. I truly appreciate your candid feedback!"

Honestly, we had a phenomenal time. Everything from the planning to the flawless connections to the local travel team texting and calling to check in on us- was WONDERFUL. I so look forward to using your company in the future and I already recommended you to my daughter's roommate last week! I will never be able to go back - it was so nice, and SO low stress having everything planned ahead! What a concept! :) I think the highlight was the boat ride. That was really a memory I will cherish.
