  • Stephani Izzo

    Concierge Vacation Planner

    Hello! I’m Stephani- Lover of all things Travel located in CT! I have been a travel advisor for about 6 years now. In that time, I’ve helped my clients plan incredible vacations while also visiting some really amazing places myself. I love to travel! From places within driving distance from home, to getting on an airplane and traveling across the globe, getting to experience the way people live is so fascinating to me! I am also so grateful to be able to give my children the gift of experience and making memories as we visit different places! People always ask me, what’s your favorite place to date and the truth is, all of them! From simple “momcations” to Florida with my girlfriends, Disney vacations with my kiddos, to an 11 day experience in Greece or to finally getting to experience and learn about Aruba- the list goes on! I don’t really have a favorite, each experience teaches me something new and I’m incredibly lucky to have these opportunities! I am so excited to be here and look forward to helping you with all of your travel needs. Whether you’re looking to plan a family vacation, a girls “momcation” for a long weekend, an adults only all inclusive trip like Sandals, a destination wedding or a Walt Disney trip, I’m here to help you plan the trip of your dreams! I am looking forward to new travel experiences to share with all of you, but I am especially excited to help new and existing clients! “I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list..” ??

  • Gina-Marie Barghausen

    Disney and All Inclusive Specialist

    After having babies especially our first one thing I knew I wanted to do for them was fill their passports. 

    I am born and raised in Florida so as a family we vacation to Disney many times through the year as well as visit on a regular basis. If we are not planning a short stay at Disney you will find us planning an all inclusive vacation to the Caribbean.  

    After many years of helping personal family and friends plan their travel (and take that leap with traveling with their littles) I finally decided to make a career out of it. I have always worked in the customer service field in one way or another. I absolutely love meeting new people and helping their dream vacation come to life!

    LUXURY LIFESTYLE TRAVEL

    My love of travel took off in middle school. It was during these years that I was able to go on two trips through EF Tours, one to Alaska and the other to Europe. It was on these trips that I learned how to make plans full of activities to target the interests of the travelers. These trips opened my eyes to the world and gave me a huge heart for travel and exploring the world. I have since traveled to six continents and over 20 countries. I have experience planning trips for myself, my family and my friends. I am very organized and detail-oriented which helps me in the planning process. I also am a licensed counselor and have the interpersonal skills needed to communicate with others in a variety of situations.

    My personal knowledge and experience, coupled with my completion of the NYU Hospitality and Tourism Industry Essentials course, allow me to have a greater understanding in how to serve others who are ready to travel and see the world! My focus in the travel industry is to book travel accommodations for wedding guests and corporate events, to serve as an agent for booking mission/humanitarian trips, and to help families who want to take a vacation to gain new experiences and memories!
