Hi, I’m Jeanie
Owner of Riveting Trips
I love researching and planning vacations and have been doing this since pre-Internet days. I remember my first international vacation at the age of 10 and relish my future travels.
Ever since that first overseas vacation, I have been enveloped in a world of travel. In high school, I raised enough money to fund my first visit to Mexico with my Spanish class. In college and graduate school, I planned many independent trips to Europe and Asia. I still remember scouring through guide books and writing down lists of preferred sights, hotels, and restaurants. In addition to planning family and multigenerational travel, I am a Certified Incentive Specialist who helps corporate clients unleash the power of their employees through extraordinary travel experiences.
Hi, I’m Amy
Luxury Travel Advisor
I am excited to help you plan your next getaway as a Riveting Trips agent operating from London, UK! When I moved to Italy for my degree in 2017, Jeanie was a huge inspiration to me. Since then, I have learned so much about myself while solo traveling around the world, and love sharing my experiences with others and using my passion for travel toward planning your curated trips.
With a background in luxury service, private security, and hospitality, I work to incorporate comfort and safety into all my travel itineraries. I hold a Bachelor of Science in International Relations from Milan, Italy, and am currently working towards a Master of Arts in International Criminology in London. Having lived in Italy, the UK, and the USA, I enjoy discovering the beauty each country has to offer and hope to find more while planning curated trips for you!
TRAVEL PLANNING FAQs
This really depends on the vacation. Most of our clients spend a minimum of $1000/day. However, we can help clients with more limited budgets. Reach out to us and let’s chat.
Riveting Trips is a full-service travel agency. However, if clients prefer to book their flights with points, they can do that on their own and we can arrange the on-the-ground/water itinerary. We arrange the sightseeing (entry fees, guides, etc.) for each client. For some holidays, especially special sporting or musical events, we will acquire the tickets, hotels, and tours.
A professional travel advisor has your best interests at heart. I work hard to ensure that our clients will be worry-free during their holiday prep and while on holiday. A professional travel advisor has connections with vetted travel suppliers. How often do you go on vacation? Our job is to meet the best travel partners to ensure that your vacation will be one to remember.
