HOW IT ALL BEGAN
My love for travel started before I could even walk — just take a look at my first passport photo.
Hi, I'm Tina.
founder of The Ginger On The Beach and, lifelong traveler.
I help travelers explore the world with comfort, curiosity, and ease. My planning style is thoughtful and personal — never rushed, never one-size-fits-all. I believe travel should feel inspiring and enjoyable, not overwhelming.
Whether your idea of a perfect day is wandering through markets in a European city or sitting quietly by the sea, I’m here to help you travel in a way that feels natural to you.
I was born into a French-American family. I didn’t grow up jet-setting around the world, but I did grow up with curiosity. The occasional trips we took — especially to visit family in France — made a big impact. They sparked my fascination with how people live, eat, and experience life differently in other places, and that quiet fascination never really left.
TRAVELING WITH INTENTION
When I travel, I try to do it with awareness — of the place I’m in, the pace I’m moving at, and the way I want to feel while I’m there.
Some days, that means embracing the movement of a city — walking through galleries, markets, quiet side streets, sitting in cafés and watching daily life unfold.
Other days, it means slowing down — taking in ocean air, napping in the shade, enjoying the kind of quiet that only comes when you don’t have anywhere else to be.
The sun and I have a complicated relationship. Over the years, I’ve learned that feeling at ease while traveling often comes down to simple things — a wide-brimmed hat, SPF, breathable layers, and finding shade when you need it.
To me, intentional travel isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what feels right for you — and allowing space for comfort, presence, and discovery along the way.
WHY I LOVE WHAT I DO
I love helping people experience travel in a way that feels meaningful and enjoyable — not rushed, not over planned, just thoughtful and true to who they are.
Whether someone is traveling on their own, with a partner, or as a family, I want them to feel supported and inspired. I enjoy the research, the mapping, the quiet details — so they don’t have to.
For me, it isn’t just about seeing new places. It’s about creating moments of ease, wonder, and connection — the kind that stay with you long after the trip is over.
