About Me

With my family in St. Barths
With my family in St. Barths

St. Barthelemy is my most favorite island. Traveling there year after year, I have experienced all that the island has to offer. I've shared my love of the island with many honeymooners and couples and even families.

In addition to St. Barth, I have island-hopped all around the Caribbean.  You can trust me for the inside scoop on the best resorts and experiences in the islands. Whether you want a luxury resort, your own private villa, or a chartered yacht or catamaran, I can help you with your island adventure.

A trip like no other
Reviewed By Jana - Texas | Traveled to London ~ England ~ Europe
My family has taken many vacations and work trips under the planning of Gina Porter at Far and Away -they have all been wonderful. Her suggestions of where to go, what to see and what to do have been spot on. Also, Gina has given us so many 'insights' that other travelers may not know-which enhanced our trips, such as since my passion is collecting handbags, Gina arranged for me to visit a designer handbag factory while traveling abroad. Her personal touches are great. Our family would be lost without her knowledgeable planning.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

London was the best trip I've e ear taken
Reviewed By Jbro - Dallas, Texas | Traveled to London ~ England ~ Europe
Our family has enlisted Gina as our travel professional for years-two honeymoons for our children, many family vacations, many work/groups trips and several intimate vacations for just my husband and me. They've all been great. My most favorite thing about Gina's bookings are the 'secret' treasures she books for us. Things that the masses know nothing about. I particularly loved our trip to London and staying at The Goring-just magical.
We really allow Gina to guide us on what to do while on a trip-because she's proven to be so proficient in her travel knowledge. I feel blessed to have her help us.

The best honeymoon imaginable!
Reviewed By Amanda - Dallas, Texas | Traveled to St. Barthelemy ~ Caribbean
Gina planned our honeymoon to St. Barth's and it was BEYOND incredible! She researched all available hotels on the island and narrowed it down to three perfect options (across three different price ranges) - we are officially obsessed with our hotel, Chevel Blanc!

She booked flights (with connections / transfers perfectly coordinated), arranged our rental car, made dinner reservations and even planned a private dinner on the beach one evening. All of these details were housed on her easy-to-navigate mobile app, which made it completely stress free for us as we traveled.

Gina was a true advisor, helping ensure we made the best use of our time on the island. She knew the best restaurants, shopping, activities, and more! It would've been impossible to research these details on our own.

We are already talking about our next trip and will absolutely book through Gina and Far & Away Travel!

I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

A wonderful anniversary trip
Reviewed By Betsy - Darien, CT | Traveled to Jumby Bay Island ~ Antigua & Barbuda ~ Caribbean
Gina is very knowledgeable, professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. She considers all details. She often knows and anticipates her clients' needs before they do- at least that has been our experience. We have worked with Gina for anniversary trips, family trips and girls' weekends. She has handled each trip with expertise! Love, love her!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    GG’s 5 Tips for St Barths

    Saint Barthélemy is a tiny slice of powdery-sand paradise amidst the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. The island serves as a haven for honeymooners, families, and groups of friends alike. As one of my most-traveled destinations, I have honed my expertise to know which restaurants, experiences, hotels, and more are the best of the best. Whi...
