About Me

Paris is calling!
Paris is calling!

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

 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.

Italy - Amalfi, Roma, Firenze, Milano
Reviewed By Stefanie - Milton, Georgia | Traveled to Amalfi | Italy | Europe
We had an extraordinary experience in Italy. The planning and guidance from Amy and her Italian counterparts were exceptional. From choice of accommodations, to private drivers, trains, and guided tours, we were able to really enjoy our time as a family. The service and attention to detail allowed us to make the absolute most of our time in 4 different cities and not worry about or stress over logistics. This travel experience was truly one of a kind and we highly recommend Amy. Thank you

Great Japan trip for family of four!
Reviewed By JBeckmen - Morgan Hill, CA | Traveled to Japan | East and Southeast Asia
We had an amazing two week trip with our family of four, with two teenage boys. Amy did a great job of creating the itinerary and suggesting accommodations and activities that the whole family would enjoy. Everything went very smoothly and all private transfers, train tickets, and tours were great. The tour guides especially were very high quality and having them meet us at our hotel reduced any stress with figuring out how to get to a meeting spot. Amy catered to our budget and needs for the trip and helped us create a memorable trip.
Amy Gies responded
"Thank you for your kind review. I'm happy to hear everything went smoothly and that the private guides and transfers made your trip even more enjoyable and stress-free. I'm very happy everyone, had a great time. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience, and I hope I have the opportunity to help you plan your next adventure!"

EXCEEDED ALL Expectations
Reviewed By Stacy Altiery - Atlanta, GA | Traveled to Istanbul | Turkey | Middle East
This was my first trip ever planned with Amy and World on the Fly Travel. We had just 3 days to explore and taste Istanbul, somewhere we had never been before. Amy put together the BEST itinerary one could have ever asked for. She gave me hotel options and once she understood the "vibe" we were looking for nailed it! The boutique hotel was a converted French schoolhouse over 100 years old and sat just 50 steps from the Galata Tower, main center in Istanbul. She put together 2 days of tours and tastings. We did everything one must do in Istanbul. From mosques, to the Grand Bazzar, to Sultan's Palace and everyplace in between. The group she partnered with on the ground in Istanbul named Aida, was literally velvet glove service. We were picked up from airport and transported (in style) to our hotel by the nicest greeter and driver one could ask for. Perfect way to land in a strange city and airport. We had the same driver for all our trips and I don't know how one can navigate such busy and narrow streets, he made it look easy. Our tour guide spoke 7 languages and was personable, knowledgeable and knew many shortcuts when walking. I honestly feel like we got a chance to feel the real Turkish culture and not just tourist culture. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY I WILL TRAVEL FROM NOW ON. Amy and her team have set the bar high when it comes to traveling and we are already discussing having her plan our next family trip.
Amy Gies responded
"Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. It was a pleasure helping you experience Istanbul, and I’m so happy you loved the hotel, tours, and the amazing team on the ground. Hearing that you felt immersed in the real Turkish culture is the best compliment we could receive. Thank you for trusting World on the Fly Travel with your trip. I’m already excited to help plan your next adventure whenever you are ready. "

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.
