My name is Gwen Hawkins, and I’m the founder of GK Travel—a luxury and cultural travel brand rooted in faith, passion, and purpose. Since opening my business in 2020, I’ve spent the past five years helping clients discover the beauty of the world through unforgettable experiences—curated with care, guided by expertise, and grounded in Christ.As a lifelong travel enthusiast, I’ve always believed that seeing the world is one of the best ways to connect with God’s creation. Travel is a celebration of life—it’s how we explore new cultures, deepen relationships, and return home changed. Whether you’re planning a family getaway, a romantic escape, or a solo soul-searching adventure, GK Travel is here to make every detail seamless and every moment meaningful.My love for Christ is the foundation of both my life and my business. I strive to lead GK Travel under His direction, offering service that is honest, joyful, and rooted in integrity. I follow His example in putting people first, which is why I do not charge a service fee—because your memories are more important than a transaction. Serving others is at the heart of my mission, and I treat each trip like it’s my own.With over a dozen certifications from top travel brands like Disney, Royal Caribbean, Virgin Voyages, and more, I’m equipped to take the stress out of planning so you can simply enjoy the journey. My specialties range from luxurious all-inclusive vacations and immersive cultural tours to cruises that bring people together—from family-focused fun to adults-only relaxation.GK Travel is also a reflection of my commitment to inclusivity and accessibility. I’m proud to create affordable yet luxurious experiences for diverse travelers, and I actively engage with communities like Buy Black 252 and GK Hype to ensure everyone has access to the joy of travel. One of my signature projects, Sailabration 2027: Seneca at Sea, celebrates a milestone birthday with a cruise that turns tradition into a floating festival.Every interaction is personal—I take time to truly understand your vision and then tailor each itinerary with creativity, precision, and care. I see each client as an extension of my family, and I’m honored to be part of their journey.Whether you’re chasing sunsets in Santorini, strolling through the streets of Barcelona, or setting sail for a bucket-list celebration, GK Travel is your go-to guide. I’m not just your travel advisor—I’m your prayer partner, your dream planner, and your cheerleader every step of the way.Let’s create something beautiful together.
Hawaii Travel, Tailored with Love
I fell in love with Hawaii as a child, and that bond has grown stronger with each visit since 2002. No photo can capture its magic—I plan to retire in Kauai someday! When I launched GK Travel, becoming a Hawaii expert was top priority. It’s one of the few places where you can whale watch, ski, surf, and snorkel all in the same day. Hawaii offers something for everyone, and I'm passionate about creating personalized itineraries that let travelers experience its beauty, culture, and adventure.
