About
Chicago-based Kentucky native, who has called China, NYC, and D.C. home. Frequently found obsessing over maximizing my vacation days and struggling to decide on my next destination.
Travel style
I'm known for venturing to places off-the-beaten-path (e.g. Faroe Islands) and I'm always on the hunt for the best local experiences. On trips, you'll usually find me balancing exploring new cities with spending time outdoors, but my itineraries always have a focus on trying as much of the local cuisine as possible.

Virginia's reviews
Ginny was fantastic - she helped me book great hotels, find amazing local Swiss restaurants, and experience some unforgettable moments during my time in Switzerland. She helped me set up my trip to Zermatt where I literally got to sled with full views of the Matterhorn. Then, I was a bit spooked about this but always wanted to do this... which was paragliding. She got me connected to Paragliding Interlaken where I got to mark paragliding off my bucket list and experience seeing the country from the skies of Interlaken (and also I got to do some flips with the instructor while we were up there!). Lastly, she recommended a day trip to Grindelwald, which was an absolutely stunning city to visit. She recommended taking the cable car up to Grindelwald First and checking out the cliff side walk quickly before heading out on another hike further up the mountain. The views were unreal, and I got so many pictures during these excursions that I had to buy Google One... Many thanks to Ginny for helping me put together an adventure of a lifetime. I already can't wait to book with her again!
