My name is Giovanni Grimaudo, and I’ve loved traveling pretty much my entire life. I started cruising when I was young and have continued traveling and cruising through different stages of my life. Some of my favorite memories have come from being on a ship, seeing new places, meeting new people, trying different foods, and just experiencing things that are completely different from everyday life.

Travel has always been something I’ve had a real passion for, especially Italy. My family roots are in Sicily and Naples, so Italy has always meant a lot to me personally. I’ve traveled throughout different parts of Italy and really enjoy learning about the culture, the food, the history, the smaller towns, and the places that sometimes get overlooked by tourists. I love the famous destinations too, of course, but some of my favorite experiences have been the more local and authentic ones.

Outside of travel, I also own an entertainment company called GIO Dynamics. I work as a live entertainer, classically trained tenor, saxophonist, DJ, MC, and event specialist. I’ve worked all kinds of events, including weddings, corporate events, festivals, restaurants, private parties, and special events. That experience has taught me a lot about people, planning, timing, problem solving, and most importantly, listening to what someone actually wants.

That is something I want to bring into the travel side as well. I don’t think every traveler should be consulted the same. Some people want to relax, some want adventure, some want great food and culture, and some people want a little bit of everything. I like getting to know what someone is looking for and then helping them find something that really fits them.

I’ve also been cruising long enough to understand that the ship, cruise line, itinerary, cabin, excursions, and overall atmosphere can make a huge difference. What works for one person may not work at all for somebody else. Families, couples, groups, older travelers, and first-time cruisers can all be looking for very different experiences.

For me, becoming involved in travel feels like a natural extension of what I already do. In entertainment, I help create experiences and memories for people. With travel, I want to do the same thing.

Whether someone is looking for a cruise, a trip to Italy, a European vacation, a group trip, or just needs help figuring out where to go next, I want to help make the process easier and more personal.

I’m not just interested in booking a trip for someone. I want to help them put together something they’ll actually remember and talk about for years.
