Independent Travel Agent with Vincent Vacations

Hi there! I’m Gretchen, mom of two, Marine Veteran wife, Chicago native, forever home in San Jose, and passionate about all things travel! Whether you’re looking for a once in a lifetime South Pacific getaway, or an adventure in an old-world European city, I’m here to guide you and provide the upmost service for your next voyage. 


My personal travel experience, intuitive sense and certified training makes me a great fit for all of your traveling needs! I love to discuss new places to explore, bucket list excursions, quirky hidden gems and how to make each individual trip unique and tailored to YOU. Become a local, submerse yourself in the culture, lay back and relax (you deserve it!) and let’s plan your dream vacations time and time again. 


I’m here to help! Please don’t hesitate to reach out, tell me about yourself and your vision, and I’ll take it from there! Take out feeling overwhelmed and just enjoy the ride - I’ll be right by your side. 


I look forward to our chat and curating your next authentic and unique vacation!
