Gina on a Plane - Travel Blog

Oh hi! I'm Gina. I create aesthetic travel guides and itineraries for women who want to see the world (and look good doing it). Additionally, I also coach solo female travelers to feel confident exploring the world on their own. I plan the kind of trips where every stop feels like a main character moment—equal parts iconic, effortless, and very well-documented. Consider me your unofficial travel planner, hype girl, and “should we get another glass?” enabler.

I recently took a trip to Belgium for the first time, and couldn't wait to tell you about it! Before I left, I was trying to figure out how to split my time between 3 of its most popular cities: Brussels, Brugge, and Ghent. I knew I'd be arriving into Brussels first, but I had heard mixed reviews about Belgium's capital city. Some people said it was...

Amsterdam, Netherlands

| Home | | About Me | | Destinations | | Storyteller | | Blog | Why Can't I Stop Thinking About Amsterdam? Click to Read Hi Friends! I first went to Amsterdam in 2023 after hearing dozens of people tell me it was their favorite city. I'll confess, the first time I went, I wasn't so sure that I'd hype it up that much. Sure, I enjoyed my time and was glad I visited, but to call it my "favorite city" was definitely a stretch. At least...until my last night there. Fast forward 3 years, and I came...

Warm weather has me wanting to be outdoorsy, and by that, I mean drinking outside on a rooftop bar or patio. So naturally…my mind went straight to Paris.

A few weeks ago, I went back to New York Fashion Week for a second year in a row, and it really got me thinking about how I approach personal style.
