Meet Heather
Heather began her career as a solo travel advisor, working closely with clients and managing every detail herself. While that approach had its place, she realized that delivering the level of care she wanted — consistently and sustainably — required stronger systems and support behind the scenes.
Creating Global Getaways Travel Design allowed her to do just that. It enables her to stay focused on what she does best: designing thoughtful trips, staying organized, and working directly with clients.
Why Clients Work With Global Getaways
Many travelers enjoy exploring destinations and imagining what their next trip could look like. But researching details, booking with trusted partners, and ensuring everything is handled correctly takes time — and often more effort than expected.
Even clients who once planned their own vacations frequently come to Heather with a clear vision and a simple request:
“Here’s what I want — can you take care of it?”
They value having an experienced travel advisor in their corner — someone who communicates clearly, stays organized, and steps in when questions arise or plans change. For many, the greatest benefit is peace of mind.
Growing with Purpose
You may have known the business as Global Getaways by Heather — a name that reflects the personal relationships at the heart of the work.
Global Getaways Travel Design represents the same client-first approach, supported by a structure designed for thoughtful growth.
As part of that evolution, Heather is supported by a small team behind the scenes. Madison Gallagher, Administrative Support Consultant, assists with organizational systems, in-person agency events, and select marketing efforts — helping ensure the business runs smoothly while allowing Heather to stay closely connected to her clients.
The name has evolved. Our commitment to clients remains the same.
What Guides Our Work
At the center of everything we do is how we connect with our clients.
When meaningful connection is established, trust follows naturally. That trust allows us to provide a higher level of service — and creates an experience that feels organized, supported, and easy to navigate from start to finish.
Our goal is for travel planning to feel collaborative, not complicated — and for clients to feel confident knowing someone they trust is handling the details.
