Welcome to Full Life, Full Passport!
Hi! I’m Gwen. I’m a tourism and hospitality professional who loves helping people fit extraordinary travel experiences into their busy lives.
I understand what it’s like to yearn to see the world but to only have two weeks of vacation per year in which to do it. I also know the feeling of wanting to travel as much as possible while simultaneously desiring a career, permanent address, and sense of home and community. I enjoy the parts of travel planning that many people find most stressful, and I love empowering people to realize their travel dreams without breaking the bank.
That’s why I created Full Life, Full Passport. Here, I offer custom vacation planning to get you on your way as quickly and easily as possible. You’ll also find relevant travel articles that will help you plan great itineraries, de-stress your vacations, and get the most out of your time off.
So grab a cup of your favorite hot beverage, and let’s swap travel stories and dream itineraries!
Looking for some expert help with your next vacation? Full Life, Full Passport offers completely customized planning services for trips of all shapes, sizes, and budgets. We’ll take the stress out of planning so that you can focus on having your best vacation yet!
