About Emily, Your Luxury Travel Advisor
Hi, I'm Emily. Travel has always been so much more to me than a vacation. It is about the perspective that comes from stepping outside the routine. Journeys beyond home inherently show us the many ways life can be experienced. Exploring makes us uncertain, curious, and connected - ultimately returning us home with a fresh lens. My passion is in designing trips for people who want to experience a place, not just somewhere to stay.
Based in Chicago, I work with clients across the U.S. and globally, planning everything from one standout trip to mapping out an annual travel plan.
I have traveled to 37 countries and 45 states. Each journey deepens my appreciation for the connections and insights that travel creates.
How I Design Journeys
As the founder of GCG Travel, I curate bespoke journeys that balance rich experiences with a pace that suits my clients. From international expeditions to tranquil mountain escapes, each itinerary is tailored to how you want to feel, not just where you want to go. My mission is to ensure each journey is filled with meaningful moments, fostering a deeper connection to the world and leaving you restored.
Why Clients Work With Me
I am a good fit for clients who want it done right and don't want to spend hours figuring out logistics, tradeoffs, and what's worthwhile. My focus is on the BEST rate fit and trip for my clients.
Through my partnerships, including FORA and preferred hotel programs, I am able to offer VIP perks and priority access. My clients know that the logistics, details and behind the scenes coordination are being handled with care from start to finish.
