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.

| Home | | About Me | | Destinations | | Storyteller | | Blog | Ever Wondered How You Could Earn Money Online? Today I'm going to teach you how I do it...for FREE! Hi Friends! The other day, I realized something that stopped me in my tracks: I never gave most of you a freebie for signing up for my email list. I know. I'm awful. 😂 It's not that I didn't want to, I promise. It's that I didn't know what to give you that would be the most helpful or useful. Then one day, it dawned on me: EVERYONE...

I've been keeping a pretty big secret from you... On August 1, 2026, I packed up my 3 bedroom house, threw most of my stuff in a storage unit, and moved to Nashville. BUT WAIT!!!! I didn't permanently move....(at least, not yet!) Let Me Explain... Without getting too personal, let's just say that last year was somewhat of a difficult...

| Home | | About Me | | Destinations | | Storyteller | | Blog | Confession: I Never Wanted to Be An Influencer (and That Changed How I Built My Business). Hi Friends! Does it feel like I've been a little MIA recently? If you're thinking "YES" - well, it's because it's true. I've had a lot of life changes come through in the last 2 months that I've been trying to juggle, and as exciting as they've been, they've also taken time away from me writing to you. Wait...what life changes am I talking...

| Home | | About Me | | Destinations | | Storyteller | | Blog | This Japanese City is Known as "The Kitchen of Japan" (and I'm Obsessed) Click to Read Hi Friends! When I was planning my trip to Japan, I thought Osaka would just be a quick stop between Tokyo and Kyoto. I mean, let's face it: Tokyo is legendary, and Kyoto is historic. TBH, I was expecting Osaka to be my least favorite city out of the 3. Let's just say I was wrong. Osaka ended up being one of the most vibrant, fun, and delicious...

| Home | | About Me | | Destinations | | Storyteller | | Blog | Let's Talk About Breaking the Rules Hi Friends! A few days ago, I introduced you to my first Controversial Business Strategy and told you how I don't outsource my content. While that business practice likely won't last forever (because it takes a LOT to do it all and your girl is TIRED!) - it has been instrumental in developing different skills that have benefitted me throughout this journey. Speaking of journey, Controversial...

| Home | | About Me | | Destinations | | Storyteller | | Blog | Let's Talk About What It REALLY Takes to Build an Online Business... Hi Friends! Last week, I told you how I would be pulling back the curtain on 5 controversial things I've done that have helped me grow and monetize my travel blog - and today, we're diving into the first one! I can't lie - as much as I love writing travel content, I've been SO excited to give you an inside look at how I run my business! Controversial Business...

| Home | | About Me | | Destinations | | Storyteller | | Blog | 6 of the Best Temples to Visit in Kyoto, Japan Click to Read Hi Friends! I took my first trip Japan last month with my friend Rachel and was absolutely mind-blown. Between the food, the culture, and the people, it's safe to say Japan is a country I will definitely be returning to in the future. Rachel and I started our trip in Kyoto, the Japanese city with the most temples. Visiting the temples and shrines and learning about...

| Home | | About Me | | Destinations | | Storyteller | | Blog | "How Exactly Do You Run An Online Travel Business, Anyway?" Hi Friends! Earlier this year, I told you I wanted to show you more of my life when I'm not on a plane...and I'll admit, I haven't done the best job. Until now. Although travel is arguably my favorite thing to show you, so far, you've only seen the highlights. In reality, a lot of my time is spent behind a laptop working on my business: writing blog posts, editing...
