Around the World with Ginny Dee
Whether you’re planning your next big adventure or just wandering the world from your couch, this is where you’ll find all my favorite travel destinations — from glacier landings in Alaska to market madness in Barcelona.
Here I share the real stories, practical travel tips, and the sometimes-silly, often soulfully chaotic detours I picked up along the way.
Every destination has a story. I’m just trying to find as many of them as I can.
And if you want more information on a place — or just want to swap travel tips — feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to play travel know-it-all.
