Gina on a Plane - Travel Blog

Oh hi! I'm Gina. I create aesthetic travel guides and itineraries for women who want to see the world (and look good doing it). Additionally, I also coach solo female travelers to feel confident exploring the world on their own. I plan the kind of trips where every stop feels like a main character moment—equal parts iconic, effortless, and very well-documented. Consider me your unofficial travel planner, hype girl, and “should we get another glass?” enabler.

| Homepage | | About Me | | Shop Travel Apparel | | Blog | Let's Do a Champagne Crawl! The Must-Visit Bars in Paris Read Here Hi Friends! Warm weather has me wanting to be outdoorsy, and by that, I mean drinking outside on a rooftop bar or patio. So naturally…my mind went straight to Paris. There’s just something about sipping champagne under the Parisian sky, hopping from one beautiful bar to the next, and pretending your life is a movie for the night. And if you’ve never done a champagne...

In honor of St. Patrick's Day, I felt it was only right to write a post about...well...LUCK! You know how there are those people who just seem like they're luckier than others? Some people just seemed to stumble into the right opportunities, meet the right people, or be in the right place at the right time. Meanwhile, the rest of us are...

| Homepage | | About Me | | Shop Travel Apparel | | Blog | 8 Ways I Elevated My Personal Style (& How You Can Too) Hi Friends! A few weeks ago, I went back to New York Fashion Week for a second year in a row, and it really got me thinking about how I approach personal style. Being surrounded by designers, editors, and people who really understand fashion reminded me of how much my own style has evolved over the years. So, I figured it was time I finally put into words what I did to help that...

| Homepage | | About Me | | Shop Travel Apparel | | Blog | A Girl Asked Me if I Was Afraid to Travel Alone for the First Time. Here's What I Told Her... Hi Friends! Recently, a friend asked me a question that all solo travelers hear at some point: “Were you afraid to travel alone for the first time?” Of course, it's a VERY valid question. Solo travel sounds terrifying, especially for someone who's never done it before. But this wasn't a question I could answer with a simple yes or no. Because...

| Homepage | | About Me | | Shop Travel Apparel | | Blog | Anti-Social Travel Club Wait...what? Shop Anti-Social Travel Club Hi Friends! I first noticed the "Anti-Social Social Club" trend when I was in NYC and found the concept very interesting. It pointed to something that a lot of people feel but have trouble articulating: the balance of wanting connection but also needing space. As social media, constant availability, and hustle culture grew, this trend emerged as a quiet rebellion...

| Homepage | | About Me | | Shop Travel Apparel | | Blog | Lessons in Travel Photography from a Solo Female Traveler Hi Friends! I don't know about you, but some of my favorite souvenirs from my travels have always been the photos I bring home with me. I love looking back at pictures of family trips from when I was little, girls trips in high school and college, and now, trips with my friends I have in my 30s. When I first started blogging, people would always comment on my photos. In fact,...

| Homepage | | About Me | | Shop Travel Apparel | | Blog | Run Away With Me...again? Hi Friends! I've been quietly working to properly reintroduce something that’s really close to my heart: my line of travel apparel. As many of you know, I launched my clothing brand, The Runway Aesthetic, towards the end of last year. But as quickly as things came together, that's how quickly they fell apart. So, I did what any responsible business owner would do...I rebuilt my own clothing website from the...

| Homepage | | About Me | | Shop Travel Apparel | | Blog | What's Coming in 2026 Hi Friends! As I sat down yesterday to do some content planning for the year ahead, I couldn't help but think "I want to do something different in 2026." Don't worry, I'm not abandoning travel! But the more I thought about it, I realized I wanted to give you something else in addition to travel. And then it hit me. I feel like I’ve grown so much over the past few years. As a person, as a creator, as someone...

| Homepage | | About Me | | Shop Travel Apparel | | Blog | Best Christmas Markets in Zurich, Switzerland (with map!) - and Other Things To Do in the Winter Hi Friends! There are few things I love more than a good surprise, and this year, Zurich, Switzerland surprised me in the best way. I wasn't originally intending on making this a stop on my 2025 Christmas market itinerary, but you know what they say: some of the best things in life are unplanned! Zurich has some of the most beautiful...

| Homepage | | About Me | | Shop Travel Apparel | | Blog | The Best Things To Do in Milan, Italy at Christmastime Hi Friends! If you've been with me for awhile now, you know I do a Christmas vacation every December. This year, I opted for a Frank Sinatra Winter theme - and yes, that means spending the holiday season in Italy! My first stop was Milan, Italy's fashion capital (after launching a clothing line this year, did you really expect anything less?!). If that sounds like your kind of...
