Why GNAW Adventure
More Than a Booking: A Thoughtfully Crafted Journey
Most travel services hand you a confirmation number and call it done. GNAW Adventure goes further. Founder Stephanie Jaros brings decades of global supply chain and strategic sourcing expertise to every trip, applying predictive, detail-oriented thinking to international logistics that standard agencies simply cannot match. Paired with her Shanghai upbringing and Midwest warmth, this means your bespoke destination experiences are planned with both cultural depth and heartfelt care. From private transfers to exclusive resort experiences, every detail is vetted before you ever pack a bag.
Story-Driven Planning That Puts You First
We follow a clear, five-step process from your first inquiry to your post-trip debrief. It starts with a conversation about your inspiration and ends with a journey that feels made just for you. Along the way, you receive a customized trip proposal, up to two rounds of refinements, full booking and documentation support, and a pre-departure check-in to make sure you are ready. Our Premium White-Glove tier adds 24/7 urgent support and bespoke concierge services, so you are never on your own when it matters most. Every step is designed to replace research overwhelm with quiet confidence.

Answers About Our Travel Experiences
How is GNAW Adventure different from booking a trip online or using an AI travel tool?
Online booking platforms and AI tools can generate lists, but they cannot verify quality, anticipate problems, or advocate for you when something goes wrong. GNAW Adventure applies decades of global supply chain and strategic sourcing expertise to every itinerary, meaning logistics are vetted before you travel, not troubleshot after. As a Virtuoso-affiliated firm, we also access exclusive perks, resort credits, and upgrades that consumer platforms cannot offer. The result is a trip built around your specific vision, not a generic template.What types of trips and travel styles does GNAW Adventure specialize in?
We plan a wide range of journeys, including honeymoons, anniversary trips, solo adventures, multi-generational family vacations, group getaways, and business or incentive retreats. We also specialize in luxury rail experiences, river and ocean cruises, and cultural deep-dives to destinations like Rwanda, Italy, Mexico, and beyond. Each trip is shaped around the traveler's pace, interests, and values rather than a standard package itinerary.What are the planning fee tiers and what does each one include?
There are three tiers. Destination Exploration costs $300 and delivers three destination recommendations with accommodation options, ideal for early-stage planning. Curated Travel Planning is priced at $60 per travel day and includes a full customized proposal, up to two rounds of revisions, airfare recommendations, accommodations, tours, transfers, and more. Premium White-Glove planning is priced individually based on trip complexity and adds 24/7 urgent support, flight change management, and bespoke concierge services like dinner reservations.Are there ready-made itineraries I can purchase before committing to a custom plan?
Yes. GNAW Adventure offers fixed-price sample itineraries for Nashville (3-day, $29.99), New Orleans (4-day, $39.99), and the Pacific Coast (11-day, $79.99). These are a practical way to get a feel for the planning style before investing in a fully customized trip. If you decide to upgrade to a personalized Tier 2 or Tier 3 plan, the cost of your sample itinerary purchase is credited toward your planning fee.Does GNAW Adventure book economy flights or standalone flight tickets?
No. GNAW Adventure's flight policy limits bookings to all-inclusive packages, Premium Economy, Business Class, or First Class tickets. This policy is in place to protect the quality of your overall experience and ensure the logistics remain consistent with the white-glove standard the firm maintains. Stand-alone economy-only flight bookings are not offered as part of any service tier.What does the Virtuoso affiliation mean for my trip?
Virtuoso is a global network of luxury travel advisors with preferred partnerships at top hotels, cruise lines, and tour operators worldwide. As a Virtuoso-affiliated firm through Fora Travel, Inc., GNAW Adventure can access exclusive resort experiences, complimentary upgrades, resort credits, and amenities that are not available when booking directly or through standard consumer platforms. These perks add tangible value to your trip without additional cost to you.Are planning fees refundable if I change my mind after the process begins?
No. All planning fees and sample itinerary purchases are non-refundable. This policy reflects the professional work that begins immediately after an inquiry is confirmed. GNAW Adventure also acts as a facilitator, meaning all travel arrangements are made with third-party providers and are subject to their individual terms and conditions. It is recommended that travelers discuss travel insurance options with their advisor during the planning process to protect their investment.
