Hello, fellow travelers! My name is Gunes, and I’m thrilled that we both share a love of everything wanderlust. Photography and travel inspire and motivate me, so I’ve brought together these two passions in my travel blog (fotogenictravel.com). I welcome inquiries for guest blogging and collaboration.

I also just so happen to be a professional travel planner. I am an independent travel concierge and advisor affiliated with My Path Unwinding Travel. I am an ASTA Verified Travel Advisor and an FTA Certified Family Travel Advisor.

From a very young age, I have been traveling with my family and always have loved to travel. In fact, my first international trip was as a toddler on a trans-Atlantic flight to Turkey with my parents. I clearly caught the travel bug during that fateful journey, as I since have visited 35 countries (and counting!), as well as 46 states (including Alaska and Hawaii), and have been on 10+ cruises.

I am a huge Disney enthusiast (Minnie forever!) and especially love sailing on Disney Cruise Line. Cruises, luxury travel, and family vacations are among some of my favorite things (in addition to coffee, wine, and chocolate).
