Today we’d like to introduce you to Cheri Gerzabek.
Hi Cheri, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
We relocated to the Atlanta area from Boston for a job, unfortunately after 2 years I was laid off. My daughter had both done the Disney college program and so I had started helping friends plan their trips which eventually turned in to a side hustle. With the job market being as tough as it can be I invested in my lovel of travel full time. And am now working as and IC focusing on Europe, Cruising, All inclusive Caribbean and of course I still do Disney vacations.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Any small business has its share of struggles as you are one person wearing all the hats. From sales and service to daily operations, marking you name it. I had to take a step back to help my father who was ill and the ultimately handle his estate and so my business went in the back burner. This year we reinvested, I got my certification, continue to focus on education opportunities and am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Although the hardwork is there 24/7.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
As a luxury travel advisor, I specialize in creating highly personalized, stress-free travel experiences for discerning clients who value both service and exclusivity. My ideal client is someone who wants more than just a trip—they want an elevated journey, thoughtfully curated with their unique preferences in mind. Whether it’s a family looking for a once-in-a-lifetime Disney vacation, a couple planning a romantic European escape, or a group seeking a luxury Caribbean getaway, I design experiences that combine ease, comfort, and unforgettable details.
What sets my service apart is that I take care of everything—from securing the best accommodations, dining, and VIP access, to anticipating the little touches that make a trip seamless. My clients trust me to handle the details so they can focus on enjoying the moments. I see myself not just as a travel planner, but as a partner in creating meaningful, memorable journeys that they’ll treasure forever.
So, before we go, how can our readers or others connect or collaborate with you? How can they support you?
People can work with me by visiting my website and scheduling a consultation to begin planning their next luxury journey—whether that’s an elevated Disney vacation, a romantic European escape, or a relaxing Caribbean retreat. Collaboration means I bring my expertise, insider connections, and attention to detail while clients share their dreams and vision, so together we create something truly memorable.
Support also goes a long way. Referrals are one of the greatest compliments, and sharing my services with friends, family, or colleagues who value high-touch, stress-free travel is incredibly impactful. I also love collaborating with like-minded businesses, publications, and brands that inspire travelers. And for ongoing support, engaging with and following my social media channels helps spread the word and allows me to continue sharing travel tips, inspiration, and updates with a broader community.
