Luxury Travel Advisor

The lazy river at the Four Seasons Resort Orlando

From a very young age, I have been traveling with my family and always have loved to travel. In fact, my first international trip was as a toddler on a transatlantic flight to Turkey with my parents. I clearly caught the travel bug during that fateful journey, as I since have visited 40 countries (and counting!), as well as 46 states (including Alaska and Hawaii), and have been on countless cruises.

I am a huge Disney enthusiast (Minnie forever!). Cruises, luxury travel, and family vacations are among some of my favorite things (in addition to coffee, champagne, and chocolate). I also love to blog about my travels and am a bit of a photog (check out fotogenictravel.com for the latest on those fronts).

Whether I’m staying in a fine hotel or chatting with a call center agent on the phone, the experience of superb customer service absolutely delights me. In addition, I am passionate about details and know how to read the fine print (proven by my law degree). Superior service and attention to detail is what sets me apart as a travel advisor.

I elevate your travel planning experience through a premier level of service. I handle every detail on your behalf and save you from all the hassles that a person typically experiences when planning a vacation. For example, you no longer have to spend days or even weeks investigating itineraries: I will do all that research for you, or I already may have a perfect vetted and customizable itinerary available. What about those confusing cancellation and refund policies? I am here to translate and advise on booking terms, putting your mind at ease.

There's no need to wait to actually travel to begin relaxing. From the moment we first interact, I will alleviate any planning stress and will design the perfect getaway, serving as your quintessential wanderlust resource all along the way.

COVID traveling, and dreaming about future travels

Gunes provided the most professional and informative experience for us! She had answers to issues related to our travels BEFORE I even knew to ask the questions. She was always available...before, during, and after our trips....and made sure all of our needs were met. Outstanding service!

Highly Recommend A Travel Expert Like Gunes!

Gunes is so great at what she does and I'm so appreciative of her help with our family weekend getaway to a resort in Middleburg. In particular, she was great about sorting out what kinds of plans we should make for meals and activities for our 4-year old, sleeping arrangements for the baby, and was full of useful recommendations. We spent LESS working with her than we would have if we'd booked on our own at Salamander.

Luxury Disney World Vacation!

Amazing! Gunes was with us every step of the way, from brainstorming, to planning, to the day of and throughout our trip. She has so much helpful knowledge that she is willing to share to give us the best experience based on our personal wants and within our budgets. I was most impressed with her getting us a great package for a new Disney resort that was of utmost luxury, while staying within budget. Gunes was able to recommend flights, hotels and dates, but also gave us multiple options to choose what works best for us. She also gave us park recs and restaurant recs, and helped us make reservations as needed. She was essential in giving us a trip that we will remember fondly forever and a trip that for the first time was stress free for me because I knew she had it all handled!

Family trip to WDW

Gunes was extremely helpful every step of the way. I knew that she had every detail taken care of both before and during the trip, and it made everything so stress-free! Even with a last-minute date change, she took care of it all quickly and efficiently. I will definitely use her services again for future trips.
