Around the World with Ginny Dee

Whether you’re planning your next big adventure or wandering from your couch, here’s where you’ll find all my favorite travel destinations — from glacier landings to market madness — and the real stories, helpful tips, and sometimes-silly, often soulfully chaotic detours I picked up along the way.

If you want more info on any spot (or just want to swap tips), don’t hesitate to reach out — I’m always happy to play travel know-it-all. Every destination has a story, and I’m out to find them all.

On Las Ramblas in Barcelona, Ginny Dee stands beside a bronze street performer dressed as Galileo. Holding a handheld telescope, she gazes playfully into the distance — as if scouting new travel destinations — while Galileo points the way, surrounded by props and moon phases.

“Travel far enough, you meet yourself.”
