About Me:
I love to travel! I come from an adventurous family and have been fortunate to travel most of my life. I haven't even put a dent into all the places on my bucket list but one thing I am sure of is every vacation I take I make sure it is more magical than the last. You could say history and exploring new places is my passion. I have traveled all round the US by train, plane, car and RV. I have taken train trips to Canada, Colorado and Washington, explored Costa Rica and backpacked through Europe. I've even driven around New Zealand. I have been to France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Germany, Belgium, Amsterdam and Iceland. I've taken cruises around the Caribbean, boating trips through the U.S. and British Virgin Islands and relaxed on the beaches of the Bahamas, Mexico and St. Lucia. Now with a family of my own our travel has continued, only now it includes more kid friendly experiences which I completely love. I can make any trip a perfect balance of culture, adventure and still kid-friendly. We absolutely love Disney and all the magic they create for families in both the parks, cruises and Adventures by Disney tailored private guided tours around the world. My hometown is near Orlando so I grew up experiencing all the Disney and Universal parks have to offer. I now live in NYC and love living in such a vivacious city. Exploring new places and creating unique and memorable travel experiences for others is so much fun. I am lucky to work with a fantastic travel agency, Travelmation. With all my knowledge coupled with my fellow travel experts the world is literally your oyster.
So where can I help you adventure to next?

Amazing Honeymoon!!
Reviewed By Audrey & Caz - Atlanta | Traveled to Playa Mujeres ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Geri "Angel" helped us plan our honeymoon and took all the stress out of finding a location that checked all of our boxes! We gave her ideas of what we were looking for and she sent us options with detailed pricing and everything that was included. While planning a wedding it was so nice to know we were in good hands. She sent us detailed instructions about airport pick up and check-in a few weeks before and airport pick-up and drop-off went seamlessly. It was a beautiful resort and we had the best time!

Amazing Barbados trip
Reviewed By Bkgirl22 - Brooklyn, NY | Traveled to Barbados ~ Caribbean
Geri is amazing! This is our second time booking with her and she makes traveling so much easier. This time we went to Barbados and Geri found us the perfect hotel for our needs. We always prefer accommodations with a kitchen due to our daughter's food allergies and Geri found us a great place that was like a mini-apartment but with all of the amenities of a regular resort. I also love that she creates an itinerary with all of your travel info on it - flights, hotel, excursions etc. So that you just have to go to one place to see everything rather than sift through a bunch of emails. She is also super responsive if you need any help while on your trip. I never used a travel agent before I started booking with Geri and had no idea how much easier it makes things and how much time it saves. I highly recommend her!

The only travel agent you need!
Reviewed By BKbeachgirl - Brooklyn, NY | Traveled to Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
Geri is the absolute best travel agent. I did not understand the benefit of using a travel agent before I started working with her. She is so pleasant to work with and really takes the guesswork out of booking a trip. We have booked several vacations with her and every time, she goes above and beyond to make sure our trip is great -- from asking the hotel if they have gluten-free food to booking airport transfers to her awesome itineraries where you have all the info you need in one place. We just got back from an incredible trip to the Dominican Republic and everything went seamlessly because of Geri's help and expertise. Cannot recommend her enough! Thank you Geri!!

Amazing Service Throughout Multiple Destinations
Reviewed By LennyNY - New York City | Traveled to USA
Geri Hinkle went above & beyond to make our 2-week, cross country, multiple destination train trip a success. Exceptional service throughout assured things went smoothly at every stop.Phenomenal follow-up: I thought travel agents just planned: transportation, lodging, activities. I had no idea they could continue to provide services throughout that make a huge difference quality, & I can easily imagine many (most?) would have failed there. There were many points where things could have gone wrong, but didn’t.
Her continuing help with local taxis, notification of early checkin/late checkout requests, & destination info eased the way. In some cases it made what could have been disasters into minor bumps. We enjoyed the experience fully, knowing she had our back.
An added plus was elite status privileges & other perks at some hotels that came from booking with her. Geri is also well-versed in train travel.
Geri’s expertise & thoughtful support made this trip eve

10 days in Europe, 7 different cities!
Reviewed By Lauren R - Brooklyn, NY | Traveled to Europe
Working with Geri is a dream. We have always been highly detailed planners who plan all of our vacations so using a travel agent has been new for us. She goes above and beyond and has raised the bar for vacations. Even when tricky issues pop up (hotel booking systems failures, cancelation close scares), she was so responsive and solution-oriented. She helped us coordinate multiple parties for a big, multicity trip with travel by plane, train, and boat. We'll be partnering with her on our future travels!

Best Lisbon, Portugal trip.
Reviewed By Christina Lovely - Ridgewood, New York | Traveled to Lisbon ~ Portugal ~ Europe
Geri is truly a gem. She listened to what we wanted for our vacation and travel and made it happen while also giving us choices so it felt like we had a hand in our travel verses it being overly curated. We loved all the tips, suggestions and how she was always available, had their been anything we might have needed her for. This was only our 2nd time using a travel agent and I will say our whole group will without a doubt be returning to have Geri plan trips for all of us in the future.

Good trip!
Reviewed By Gene White - Daytona Beach, FL | Traveled to Wyoming ~ USA
A good friend of mine recommended Angel for a trip I was planning to Jackson Hole Wyo. I wanted to fly to Salt Lake City then rent a car and drive to Jackson about 5 hours away. Stayed at a nice lodge downtown, toured the area and ate at good spots……It seemed simple till I started making major changes. Angel jumped in right and within no time at all she had made the changes, even got discounts at the lodging. Seemed like no problem at all to her, but I would have spent half a day doing it ! Let me recommend her very highly !!!!! If anyone wants to plan a trip she is the person to contact ! I hope she will help with my next trip! Hope I wasn’t too big problem !

Perfect Disney Vacation!
Reviewed By Crystal - Dawsonville, GA | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
Geri “Angel” Hinkle did an amazing job planning our recent trip to Disney World and Universal. She arranged everything based on our requests and made all scheduling adjustments for park days, etc when we changed our minds on a few things. When hurricane Ian hit Florida she was in contact with us, checking on us, and sending updates when we decided to stay for the storm. Angel adjusted our park and dining reservations once the parks re opened and helped us add a day to our stay. We have done Disney many times before on our own, but the experience with Angel was so great that we will never book without her help again. We plan to work with Angel for all our travel plans in the future. Angel is very knowledgeable, responsive, and amazing at what she does!
