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.

Spring Break 2026
Reviewed By Amanda - ATL GA | Traveled to Turks and Caicos Islands | Caribbean
Beaches Turks and Caicos is a wonderful family resort! Definitely recommend the new Treasure Beach village. There were so many included activities and perks…We particularly loved the water park, many pools and hot tubs, snorkeling, kayaks, movie theater, in room dining, swim up bars and so much more! We also loved the family catamaran tour to Iguana island. Of course the beach/Grace Bay was absolutely gorgeous. The food and service was hit or miss-had some great experiences and some awful! We had trouble with restaurant service at times and some of the restaurants were very busy and had long wait times. Dinner reservations were hard to get for the week. Airport transfers were a little chaotic and unorganized. But overall was a great family trip and we would return!
Amy Gies responded
"Thank you for your thoughtful review! I appreciate you sharing your experience and your insights on the new Treasure Beach Village. It is helpful to hear firsthand feedback. It sounds like your family made the most of all the activities, I appreciate your feedback about the dining and service. Details like that are valuable and help me better guide future clients. It is pleasure working with you and your family and I would love to help you plan your next family getaway. Thank you again!"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Exceptional!
Reviewed By Melrio - Baltimore, MD | Traveled to New Zealand | Australia & New Zealand
Amy and World On The Fly helped us fine tune our New Zealand itinerary. Their team added the icing on the cake with some of the transfers and tours they arranged for us. After a 13 hour flight it is with confidence that I know the driver waiting for us will be knowledgeable and helpful. The wine tour and lunch on Waiheke Island was delightful and tailored to our preferences. All the wines were so good and lunch was amazing! Our next wine tour was more of a wine and cheese pairing in Napier (Hawks Bay) and it was really special. Our tour was led by Juliet Harbutt, a native to the area, but a world renowned cheese expert and judge! Our visits to the wineries were delightful but the highlight was the visit to her home for lunch and a wine and cheese pairing. This was one of the highlights of the trip. Though we packed many tours, hikes and golf into this incredible trip the final tour booked for us was a boat tour and self-guided hike over suspension bridges and to clear water pools in the Able Tasman National Park. It was an amazing day with perfect weather! I highly recommend working with this company and Amy when planning your next adventure. I recommend World on the Fly to all my friends!
Amy Gies responded
"Thank you for your kind words. I am thrilled you had such an incredible time in New Zealand. The wine experiences and Abel Tasman day sound like true highlights.

Taste of Europe - River Cruise on the Danube!
Reviewed By Refined Traveler - La Selva Beach, CA | Traveled to Austria | Europe
Amy was thoughtful and methodical in preparation for our trip. She helped us upgrade room types as they became available and reminded us to request our day outings as the choices came up. She was a great listener and organizer of our wants and expectations for a great vacation. She matched our trip experience to our style of travel. We will definitely use Amy in the future for more trips to Europe and beyond!

Lake Como Done Right
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.
