AMY GIES
ATLANTA, GEORGIA
Hi, I’m Amy! A passionate travel expert who loves creating unforgettable luxury adventures. My love for travel began early, exploring every corner of the United States with my family, and that curiosity only grew as I traveled the world with my husband and two children.
Today, I channel that passion into curating bespoke journeys that seamlessly blend indulgence and adventure. From the serene beaches of Thailand to the vibrant streets of Japan, the awe-inspiring landscapes of South America, and the timeless charm of Europe, I specialize in crafting personalized experiences that leave lasting memories.
My most recent adventure took me to Thailand, where the warmth of the people and the richness of the culture captured my heart—making it a new favorite destination. Partnering with The Journey Travel Group has been a dream come true, allowing me to turn my lifelong passion into a rewarding profession, helping others explore the world in style. Let’s make your next journey extraordinary!

At sunset, you’ll find me drinking // my specialty, an Old Fashioned
Beach or pool // No question – the beach
Best hotel lobby bay // The Country Club Lima. It has won an award for being one of the best lobbies in the world. After seeing it myself, I can see why. Plus, they have been voted the best Pisco Sour in the city multiple times. It’s a good place to enjoy one of those.
Sleep through on long-haul flights or wake up for every meal // I barely sleep for fear of missing a meal! Wake me up, please!!
