Who are we?
SG Travel will introduce you to the “best of the best” luxury accommodations and unique experiences around the world to create memories that will last a lifetime.
Sandy Grodsky, owner of SG Travel Advisors, will be your trusted advisor to protect your most treasured resource – your vacation time.
Sandy’s goal is always to provide the most highly personalized travel experience possible, working in constant communication with clients to curate travel experiences and create lifelong memories. Attention to detail and to the desires of the client means that travelers can approach their experiences abroad knowing their trips have been planned with the utmost care. She prides herself on her availability to clients (no detail is too small or request too large) both during the planning process and the trip itself. To her, there is no better feeling than having a client return home and tell her that she has created the “trip of a lifetime.”
Sandy originally began sharing her passion for travel through her blog, You May Be Wandering, and soon after leveraged a lifetime of personal travels into her career as a luxury travel advisor. Before joining the travel industry, Sandy received a degree from the McIntire School of Commerce at the University of Virginia, and worked at Morgan Stanley in New York City. She has lived in Greenwich, Connecticut for twenty five years, raising her three children there. Traveling has always been a personal passion for Sandy - instilling wanderlust in her children was a top priority while they were growing up. She is thrilled that, as adults, her children have continued to travel the world extensively.
While the cultures of the Mediterranean will always be Sandy’s passion, her experiences traveling elsewhere in Europe, South America, as well as extensively in Asia, mean that truly no trip is outside her domain of knowledge. She is a certified China and Hong Kong Specialist. She is also a PADI certified scuba diver and loves planning relaxing Caribbean getaways!
Clare Catania, our Client Experience Manager, will ensure that your trips are seamless from start to finish.
Clare has worked in the luxury travel industry since 2016 and joined SG Travel Advisors in 2021. She, and the SG Travel Advisors team, strives to provide personalized experiences to every client by listening to your needs and learning about your interests to design the perfect itinerary for your next adventure. Her favorite part of this job is playing a role in creating lifelong memories for our clients, and she is so excited to help plan your next getaway.
A love of learning about world cultures, and a lifelong passion for travel, led her to earn a degree in International Studies and History through the University of Dayton. She always dreamt of a career that would allow her to travel and discover more about the world, and she has found the perfect fit with SG Travel Advisors. Her experience in the travel industry has furthered her passion for travel and has strengthened the skills required to make your dream vacation a reality.
Clare is based in Cincinnati, Ohio, and spends most of her free time exploring near and far with family, friends, and her dog/co-worker, Miles. She also enjoys baking, cooking, great TV, musical theater, and discovering new ways to experience the world through food, wine, and the arts. (She has also been told by many that she should start a podcast on "how to pack the perfect suitcase", so be sure to ask for her best tips!)
She specializes in designing customized European itineraries, however, her ever-growing wanderlust has allowed her to discover many diverse destinations across the globe. The connections Clare and the SG Travel Advisors team make through their travels allow them to provide exclusive access to the best-of-the-best and hidden treasures all around the world. Clare loves to learn, share, and explore, and can't wait to start planning your next trip of a lifetime.
Elizabeth Moyer, our Brand Ambassador, is our biggest cheerleader! She has known and worked with Sandy since their early days as bloggers. Connecting in person, they became friends and Elizabeth was one of Sandy’s first clients.
Elizabeth is a native of Dallas, TX. She attended Southern Methodist University (SMU) and graduated with a degree in Business. She has subsequently lived in San Francisco, New York City and Charlotte, NC before settling in Rye, NY. She is the voice behind Pretty Pink Tulips, a luxury lifestyle blog/brand, which she began as a creative outlet while raising her two sons. She has recently launched her first product, a bespoke, luxe stationery set, based on her tulip garden and looks forward to developing more under the Pretty Pink Tulips umbrella. Prior to PPT, she spent 14 years in banking and marketing for Bank of America and has enjoyed using her skills in numerous volunteer capacities.
Elizabeth’s first trip which Sandy planned was a family vacation to Rome and Florence. The high level of planning and attention to detail, as well as Sandy’s spot on recommendations, made for an incredible and memorable trip. From that moment on, Elizabeth has been sharing and raving about Sandy’s expertise with friends and family. Elizabeth has worked with Sandy and Clare on exceptional travel experiences to Paris (3 times!), San Francisco, Mexico, the Amalfi Coast, Capri, Maine, Watch Hill, Iceland and a bespoke group trip to The Netherlands. Elizabeth’s travel wish list is ever expanding, so she is looking forward to many more adventures with SG Travel!
When Elizabeth isn’t traveling with her husband or friends, you can find her in the garden with her Cavalier King Charles, Molly, or in search of the perfect gift and dreaming up her next soiree!
