Efficient legwork—that’s what we do. Assiduous researchers. We read all the magazines, find all the jewels, study destinations…and travel to them. We love puzzles, especially your puzzles…especially your puzzles with deep questions like where to go, and when to go, and what does it all mean, anyway? We’re fixers. Pre-empters. Planners. We’re into your life, and it shows. One of our jobs is to ask

a lot of questions. We do this so that you don’t have to, unless you want to, at which point we answer a lot of questions, and with gusto. We love the world, but not as much as we love to put you in it. Global Escapes Travel is a consultancy service, a concierge service, a management service, a delivery service, a transportation service, a research service, an entertainment service. We’re a friendly service. An experienced service. A professional service. We are service. Period.

Madeline’s specialty (besides her infectious smile)? Creating trips that blend luxury, culture, and a touch of adventure. Whether it’s an African Safari or a Caribbean hideaway, she knows how to craft the kind of escape you’ll never forget.

She's a master at her craft, blazing trails in the industry, and she's ready to help you plan your next trip when you are! ✈️💙

Follow the flicker of lanterns through the Siq, sip mint tea under a galaxy of stars, and watch Petra’s Treasury blush in candlelight. You’ll never look at ‘evening plans’ the same way again. As one of the Seven Wonders, this destination is simply unforgettable. 🕯️🇯🇴

Crete does things differently. It’s sun-drenched coastlines, crumbling ruins, and tavernas where dinner turns into dancing. One minute you’re swimming in a private cove, the next you’re sipping raki with a local who swears they invented hospitality. And here's a spoiler: they might’ve. 🇬🇷

With its honey-hued townhouses, mineral-rich thermal waters, and Jane Austen charm, Bath offers a slower pace and a softer kind of luxury. Check into a Georgian townhouse hotel, sip champagne in a rooftop spa, and let the city’s timeless elegance do the rest. For history lovers and slow movers alike, Bath is a place to indulge in the rich culture of England. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Tucked away in the Bay of Bengal, the Andaman Islands offer a kind of barefoot luxury that’s almost impossible to find anymore. Think untouched beaches, teakwood villas, and private dives through technicolor coral reefs—no crowds, no noise, just nature at its most indulgent. 🇮🇳

Svalbard is where wild reindeer wander through town, the sky glows with Northern Lights, and cozy lodges keep you warm while the world outside feels otherworldly.
It's a trip honoring untouched landscapes, silent beauty, and a pace of life that makes time stretch in the best way. 🦭

Wake up in total stillness. Dogsled across snow-dusted valleys. Toast the polar night with a glass of something strong and local. This is adventure softened by charm. And it’s unlike anywhere else on Earth. 🇳🇴

Emerald craters, cobalt coastlines, geothermal wonders — the Azores are Portugal’s best-kept secret, floating in the middle of the Atlantic like something out of a dream.

Think volcanic lakes you can hike around before breakfast, natural hot springs tucked into mossy forests, and charming towns where cheese, wine, and espresso are always flowing. It’s a place for slow travelers, nature lovers, and anyone looking to get off the radar — without sacrificing a good glass of vino at the end of the day. 🇵🇹🍷🐄🪻

HAPPY FOURTH! 🇺🇸 We hope you all are enjoying time with family and friends today and are somewhere that brings you happiness and relaxation 🤍 Be safe and enjoy fireworks!

Slovenia is what happens when Italy and Switzerland fall in love. 🇸🇮
Picture yourself paddleboarding on glassy Lake Bled, wine-tasting in tucked-away alpine vineyards, and dining in candlelit castles. Compact, sustainable, and wildly scenic—this is Europe’s best-kept secret for luxury travelers in the know. We suggest you pair it with Croatia, Austria, or Northern Italy for a perfectly balanced itinerary. 🌍

06/27/2025

Even travel advisors need a getaway sometimes! The Global Escapes Offices (Dunwoody and Athens) will be closed June 30 - July 4 for a little R&R (red, white, and blue-style) 🎆

We'll be back and excited to see you July 7th to help you plan your next escape!

06/23/2025

When the leaves will start to fall here, the Mediterranean will still be basking in golden light. 🌅

Fall is the season for slower travel, softer crowds, and luxury escapes. At Global Escapes, we'll help you plan your perfect shoulder-season escape. ✈️

Our goal for this weekend? Be as relaxed as this guy. 🐆

Our Story

Global Escapes believes that everyone’s time is valuable, but that everyone’s vacation time is priceless. That’s why planning and experience are so important. There’s a lot to think about: where to go, how to get there, what to bring and what to do – not to mention how to pay for it. Our travel advisors believe that anyone can experience the incredible wonders of nature, culture and recreation that the world has to offer…all it takes is a great escape plan.

We love to travel. We have to admit that when we book a trip, there’s a part of each of us that wishes we were going along. But in a way, we are. We share our clients’ excitement throughout the planning process and can’t wait to hear the stories of fun, adventure, and inspiration when they return. Their enthusiastic feedback reawakens our own memories, gives us new ideas, and helps us make everyone’s next trip even better.

There is just no substitute for a personal connection when it comes to creating the right travel experience, time after time. Technology will never replace the value of trust, or the ability of a thoughtful, travel advisor to understand what defines another person’s dream trip through ongoing face-to-face conversation. Information is great, but insight is better. That is where we shine.

The commoditization of travel has conditioned most of us to accept less service and more stress. For more than 30 years, Global Escapes has shown people that it doesn’t have to be that way. As a personal travel advisor, advocate, and friend upon whom our clients know they can rely, Global Escapes helps people create some of the best memories of their lives, with the added comfort of knowing that wherever they are in the world, a helping hand always is just a call away. That’s just how it is when you travel with friends.
