April Hillsman
GG Support Manager & Luxury Travel Designer
I began my travel career in 1993, providing trips to fun sun destinations, and have continued to work in various roles within the industry over the past 30 years. At GG Luxury Travel, my day is anything but typical. One day, we may be working on trips to Africa, Napa, or Nassau, and the next, it could be piecing together a boutique getaway to Maine, among many other things that keep all the wheels in motion for our clients and agency. I live in the North Texas area with my husband and two children. If you know me, you know I love to roller skate and have been competing in Artistic Roller Skating for the past two years.

Favorite Globetrotting Memory
It's tough to pick just one favorite place, especially since there are still so many destinations I have yet to explore. However, one of my highlights has been an Avalon River Cruise through Holland and Belgium. I absolutely loved all the fairytale-like places we visited and the vibrant colors of the flowers. But my absolute favorite stop was in Bruges - we fell in love with this incredibly cool medieval city.
A Wow Moment Designed for a Client
I handle a lot of the big moving pieces in the booking process, like airfare, so watching the progression of the trips from the start to the final itinerary is incredible. One of my favorites was assisting with a trip to Peru, where a gentleman wanted to take a solo adventure and do a lot of self-exploration. We also only had a little time to bring it all together, and it was over the holiday season, but having wonderful Supplier Partners is essential, and GG Luxury works with some of the best. We pulled it off, and our client returned from the trip of a lifetime; everything was perfect.
