Meet the Getaway Girls

Two best friends, one shared obsession: unforgettable travel.

We’re Kristin and Savannah—college friends turned travel soulmates, with dozens of stamps on our passports and hundreds of itineraries between us. After more than a decade of planning our own epic adventures (and a few dozen for friends and family), we decided to turn our passion into something bigger—and Getaway Girls was born.

We believe every trip should feel intentional, effortless, and full of unforgettable moments. Whether you're dreaming of a solo escape, a luxe retreat, or an off-the-beaten-path adventure, we’re here to help you plan it all—without the stress.

Our story

We met back in 2009 at Wittenberg University, when a shared photography class turned into a fast friendship. As communication majors with minors in journalism and photography, we bonded over our love for storytelling, visuals, and exploring the world.

After college, we lived in the same city for a while, then moved apart—but distance didn’t slow us down. We started planning intentional trips to reunite and explore new destinations together. Those early getaways became a ritual—packed with good food, great photos, and travel stories we still tell today.

Over time, we became the go-to travel planners in our circles. We were always the ones getting the “Where’s your next trip?” texts. Our inboxes were filled with “Can you help me plan?” or “Where should I stay in ___?” We loved it—and after planning trip after trip, we realized we had the skills (and serious passion) to help more people travel better. 

Enter: Getaway Girls.

our mission

We want to create travel experiences that feel as thoughtful as they are thrilling. That balance comfort and culture. That surprise and delight. Whether it’s a relaxing retreat or a once-in-a-lifetime celebration, every itinerary we design is infused with care, intention, and joy.

And above all? We want our clients to feel like that traveler—the one who always has their next adventure in the works, and always travels well.
