Travel style
Mom of four in the Bay Area, who enjoys boutique and luxury hotels with a strong character and sense of place. No vacation is complete without time spent at the beach or pool! I also love trips with fun adventures and interesting activities that create core family memories and inspire us to think and see the world differently.

Gena's reviews
Gena was so incredibly helpful planning our trip. We contacted her very last minute and she was immediately on top of it and making moves for us. Her communication was top notch and made us feel like we had a true advocate to make our trip extra special. She helped us get room upgrades, food and beverage credits and welcoming gifts for our 10 year anniversary. This was our first time using a travel advisor and after this experience with Gena, we wouldn't do it any other way!

Gena was the reason our trip went so smoothly. Her advice about how to maximize our time during a relatively short getaway was invaluable, allowing us to fully take advantage of our days in both San Jose and La Fortuna. Our excursions and transport were top notch, and Gena's communication leading up to the vacation was thorough and responsive. Every email I got from Gena made me even more excited for the trip!

Gena could not have been more helpful and attentive throughout the planning and booking process. She was very proactive in booking activities and dining reservations. She was a pleasure to work with. We will be working with her on more trips to come!

Working with Gena on our family trip to London was so very valuable. Gena helped us identify activities that were a great fit for our family and helped create an itinerary that worked out splendidly. The three-bedroom flat she recommended with One FineStay was so much nicer than a hotel would have been and was in a location that we loved. The concierge services associated with her flat recommendation were also invaluable to us during the trip. We'd definitely work with Gena again.
