Luxury journeys.
Wider perspective.
Custom international travel designed by a luxury travel advisor, from safaris to ski trips and multigenerational journeys.
A Connected Approach
I do more than book travel. I design the full experience and manage the details so you do not have to. From where you stay to how your days unfold, everything is considered and connected. I work closely with trusted partners around the world, including hotels, destination specialists, and on the ground teams, to ensure each trip is executed seamlessly. These relationships provide added value such as preferred amenities, priority consideration, and support throughout your travels.
True luxury is the ability to travel without worrying about the details.
Curated with Intention
I believe every stay should be an experience. By prioritizing curiosity over checklist tourism, I select hotels and hidden gems that foster a genuine sense of place, allowing you to connect authentically with your surroundings throughout the world.
Specialized Designs
From sophisticated alpine retreats and sun-drenched coastal escapes to intricate multi-destination journeys, I craft travel experiences for families and couples that are never off-the-shelf, ensuring every mile traveled feels intentional and refined.
1. Submit Your Inquiry
Complete the planning form with your destination ideas, travel dates, travelers, and priorities. This gives me the foundation to review scope, investment level, and the type of support your trip will require.
2. Planning Review & Consultation
Once reviewed, I’ll confirm the best planning path for your trip and, when helpful, schedule a consultation to discuss style, pacing, budget, and the details that matter most before recommendations begin.
The Roadmap
3. Proposal & Refinement
I’ll present curated hotel, routing, and experience recommendations tailored to your priorities, then we’ll refine the trip together until every detail feels aligned.
4. Booking & Ongoing Support
From confirmed reservations to itinerary delivery and on-the-ground assistance, your trip is managed start to finish with continued support before and during travel.

tESTIMONIALS
25th Anniversary Trip| Paris, France
"Emily helped us plan an unforgettable first trip to Paris for our 25th wedding anniversary. She perfectly balanced the iconic sights with time to wander charming streets, relax at cafés, and simply soak in the atmosphere of the city.
From dinner reservations and timed tickets to the Eiffel Tower and Musée d'Orsay to a guided bike tour, she handled every detail so we never had to worry about the logistics. With only four days in Paris, she helped us make the absolute most of every moment. Thank you, Emily—you rock!"

Winter Olympics|St. Moritz and Milan
"We had a fantastic time and absolutely loved everything Emily set up for us. It was an A+ experience. Everything exceeded our expectations, and we're already asking her to start planning our next adventure—the 2030 Winter Olympics. We wouldn't hesitate to work with GCG Travel again."

"Mother/Daughter Graduation Trip| Paris and Provence
"Emily tailored our mother-daughter trip to a tee. She provided just enough options...without it being overwhelming. We can't wait to have her plan our next vacation."

Geneaology Travel | Berlin
"Emily was extremely helpful as we navigated this trip. The hotels suggested were lovely! Emily even found us hotels in smaller towns, definitely more off the beaten path as we were going to some less traveled destinations. She was attentive and helped us find a less expensive hotel in Berlin that ended up being perfect for us. I really appreciated all of the details she supplied about the hotels we were staying at, including pictures which helped make it feel more comfortable when we arrived. Emily was a delight to work with!"

Family Celebration| Rome, Florence, Santa Margarita Ligure
"There is no way we could have planned this trip ourselves with this level of detail and exceptional experiences. Emily truly got our travel style. Every excursion she recommended was exactly what we wanted—not too busy, not too boring, just right.
The private drivers were professional and always on time, the hotels she selected were exceptional, and every detail was thoughtfully planned. Our favorite memories were an incredible private boat day in Santa Margherita Ligure, a vineyard tour at Felsina, and an unexpected stop in Lucca that became one of the highlights of our trip. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations, and we can't wait to work with GCG Travel again."

Birthday Trip|Napa and Sonoma
"Five stars!!! Emily made our Healdsburg trip effortless. She found us an incredible house that fit our group, budget, and vibe. Then she built a wine itinerary that mixed must-see estates with smaller, hard-to-book spots. Every detail was covered: driver, lunch, etc. When plans shifted, she adjusted incredibly fast. We felt like insiders the whole time. If you want a seamless, stress-free vacation, hire Emily. I definitely plan on enlisting Emily's help for my next trip! "
