About Me

Friends and Family group in the Caribbean
Friends and Family group in the Caribbean

As a travel agent with a sharp focus on group planning, I excel at creating seamless and enjoyable travel experiences for groups of all sizes. Whether it's a land tour, river cruise, or ocean voyage, I meticulously handle every detail to ensure stress-free execution. I’m passionate about the memories and fun that come from traveling with friends, family, or like-minded individuals, and I’m dedicated to making these shared adventures as smooth as possible. What sets my group planning apart is my ability to treat each booking as a unique experience. I work closely with every traveler, allowing them to choose the details of their journey while still benefiting from group pricing and the pre-planned highlights of the destination. This approach makes group travel comfortable and easy for everyone, whether you want to explore on your own or enjoy the shared experiences.Groups don’t mean you have to do everything together; they mean you get the best of both worlds such as individual freedom and collective benefits. My exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail make group travel not only possible but incredibly rewarding. I thrive in this environment, ensuring that everyone in the group enjoys a personalized, memorable experience.

Fabulous trip!
Reviewed By Swish - Pesotum, IL | Traveled to Cancun | Quintana Roo | Mexico
We originally planned to go to Jamaica, but a hurricane prevented that. Gigi pivoted and provided us with several other choices of locations to visit. We chose Secrets Maroma Beach Cancun. The resort was more than anyone could ask for. The food was fantastic and plentiful and there were activites all day and into the evening if you wanted to participate. We did not go on any excursions this time because it was just so relaxing we didn't want to leave! We will the next time, and there will be a next time! Gigi's attention to detail made traveling a breeze. She gave us step by step instructions of what to expect and it all worked out perfectly. Her description of the resort was spot on.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Antigua the Antidote to Winter Blues!
Reviewed By TD - Chicago Il | Traveled to Antigua & Barbuda | Caribbean
Girlfriend & I went to St. James Club in Antigua thanks for Gigi suggestion and setting up. The flights were fairly hassle free despite the craziness in airports lately. The drive to & from the resort was no hassles and efficient. The room and location and amenities of the resort was a solid 8.5/10, beautiful views, pools and beach great, activities like sailing and access to snorkeling excursion was great, food was plentiful and timely and easy to access or schedule reservations, and the room had a great view on outside deck and super comfortable. Where I would take points off would be overall food quality at restaurants, service overall in the resort, lack of amenities that other resorts like Secrets or Sandals have had, and at times some attitude or unhelpfulness of the staff there. Still a solid A- vacation and glad we went, we trust Gigi in all ways and the small things above don't reflect the awesome job she does. In closing, the peninsula location and beauty and weather put this right up there as an awesome experience overall!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

An amazing trip!
Reviewed By Rob&Kel - Tuscola | Traveled to Hawaii | USA
We traveled to Oahu for the NCL island hopper cruise. We had a wonderful time on our pre and post days in Oahu, along with our cruise days. We were able to see several of the Hawaiian islands-all without packing and getting on and off planes. We tried to see and get as many experiences checked off our bucket list-Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head, beaches, whale watching, road to Hana, Na Pali coast, and more. The weather has been nice, a little cooler than we expected, but still a nice escape from Illinois in February. Gigi did a wonderful job with our cruise and finding discounts-we even had a price decrease once. She offered to help us find excursions, hotels and flights. She checked in several times throughout the planning process and during our trip to make sure things were going well. Thank you Gigi!

St. Lucia
Gigi took care of all of our travel plans for our recent trip to St Lucia. Gigi was on top of everything from the day we started planning until the day we returned home. She had ALOT to deal with as tropical storms changed all of our flights and departure and return dates but she was helping us every step of the way and it was during this time that we were EXTREMELY grateful that she was in charge as we couldn’t even imagine dealing with all this on our own. The next trip we take we will definitely have her in charge of our plans!!
