Welcome to
Now-or-Never-Travel
Custom International Travel Itineraries, Designed Around You
Planning an international trip should be exciting, not overwhelming. I create fully customized international travel itineraries based on your interests, travel style, budget, and the way you actually want to experience a destination.
As an independent travel advisor and former European tour guide, I help travelers plan complex international vacations, multi-country European trips, honeymoons, family adventures, milestone celebrations, and once-in-a-lifetime journeys. From destination selection and hotels to transportation, tours, dining, travel insurance, and on-trip support, I handle the details so you can focus on enjoying the journey.
Custom Travel Planning Services
My professional planning fees - which range $300-600 depending on the complexity of the trip - cover a wide variety of tasks and services including but not limited to:
Custom Itinerary Planning
Every itinerary is built from scratch around your interests, travel style and budget. No templates, no recycled plans, just a detailed day-by-day journey that reflects exactly what you want.
Destination Recommendations
Not sure where to go? I match travelers to destinations based on firsthand experience across 30+ countries, taking into account your travel history, interests, budget, and the time of year.
Hotels, Flights & Travel Bookings
From flights and hotels to private transfers, guided tours, dinner reservations, and concert tickets, I handle every detail. My supplier relationships often translate into better rooms and added amenities you would not get booking independently.
Travel Insurance Guidance
The unexpected happens. I review your itinerary and recommend the right coverage for your specific trip, so that a cancelled flight or medical emergency does not become a financial disaster.
Pre-Trip & On-Trip Support
My involvement does not end when your documents are delivered. I am available before departure, during your trip if anything goes wrong, and after you return to start planning what comes next.
Travel is not a career I fell into, it is one I built deliberately, from the ground up.
I started as a tour guide in Europe, leading travelers through the cities, landscapes, and histories of a continent I knew intimately. That experience taught me something no certification can: how to read what a traveler actually needs, and how to design an experience around that, rather than around a standard itinerary.
Today I work as an independent travel advisor, a Fiji Specialist, a Signature Travel Network and ASTA member, with firsthand experience across more than 30 countries. I specialize in Europe, the South Pacific, and Latin America, with a particular focus on destinations that reward travelers who are willing to go beyond the obvious.
My clients range from honeymooners and anniversary travelers to families, solo adventurers, and seasoned travelers looking for their next extraordinary trip.
What I offer is not a booking service. It is a complete planning partnership, from the first conversation about where you want to go and why, to the moment you return home with stories worth telling.
Let me be your compass in the world of travel. Explore my website, fill out my contact form and sign-up for my newsletter, and begin the journey towards a tailor-made adventure that will leave you with memories to last a lifetime.

My wife and I wanted a once in a lifetime trip to Europe and Gabriella helped make it happen!! Her insights, advice, recommendations and knowledge were tremendous. The hotels and many other items of our trip she booked for us, were way above our expectations. We have already recommended her to other friends and family and will use her again for our next big adventure!!!

We've now booked 2 trips (Japan and Costa Rica) with Gabriella and had wonderful experiences. She makes traveling so much easier! We will absolutely be using her services again.

Hello Gabriella,
The trip arrangements and accommodations were fabulous. We saw so much and the transports were seamless. Thank you for putting this all together. We couldn’t have asked for more.

This has been the second time I have engaged Now-or-Never-Travel for a fantastic European vacations. Gabriella spent quite a bit of time understanding our vacation needs and did an exceptional job with putting together the trips for us. This last trip was to commemorate my wife and I's 25th Wedding anniversary in Italy. As always, once booked, everything was perfect....from the drivers meeting us as planned, to all our tours being set up, and advising us on the places we need to stay at to promote our trip. We will be looking forward in booking Trip 3 with her in the near future.
