Yassas! I’m Gabi, and I run culinary experiences in Crete, where I’ve lived for nearly a decade. I split my time between exploring the Islands, being a single mum, and working as a tech advisor — that is, when I’m not helping others explore the country’s food and wine scene.

✔️ Co-authored the Crete DK Eyewitness Guide

✔️ Traveled to 30+ Greek Islands, all of them solo

✔️ Will travel for a good beach. Especially to Naxos & Paros

📍 Crete, Santorini, Mykonos, Naxos, Paros, Syros, and more

Get to know Gabi

  • I was born in Buenos Aires, but I’ve been traveling and living abroad for the last 30 years. I spent over 15 years in Italy and my kids were born there. Life eventually led me to Crete, which has been home since.

  • Crete…and also politics and literature.

  • Pack a back, and go!

★★★★★

  • "Gabi gave us the true local experience, sharing the sort of information nobody else can give you. It was really invaluable and exactly what I wanted."

FAQs

  • Because no guidebook or travel blog can match real, honest, and up-to-date advice from someone who knows the destination intimately and puts your interests first. Just one consultation will save you hours of pre-trip angst and research time and give you all the confidence you need to hit the ground running.

  • TKTK

  • Every Advisor in our network is carefully vetted through a multi-step verification process to ensure she’s knowledgeable, trustworthy, reliable, and uniquely equipped to help independent travelers plan their dream trip.

  • Advisor consultations take place in a private 1:1 WhatsApp Group chat. TKTK HOW LONG Prior to your scheduled consultation, you will receive AN INVITE from SOLOTRVLR’S COMMUNITY MANAGER {?) to join the GROUP CHAT where you will be met by your Local Advisor.

    From there, you'll be able to TKTKTKTKTTK ask questions and get feedback/advice. There is no set structure for how you and your Advisor use your time together. Consultations are meant to be collaborative and tailored to your needs and taste.

    Once the time is up, SoloTrvlr’s Admin will close the chat. You’ll receive a TK within 48 hours. 

  • You can ask anything travel-related, from whether (and where) it’s safe to walk alone at night to practicalities like where to buy tampons (and how to ask for them!) Need dining advice? Your Local Advisor will share her go-to neighborhood spots and steer you to a hyper-local Italian cooking class taught by a beloved nonna. She’ll also be quick to jump in and let you know if something you’re considering doing is overrated—and tell you what to do instead.

  • No problem! If you need more time with your Local Advisor, just contact us via WhatsApp or by email and we’ll help you book a follow-up session. 

  • Our Advisors do their best to keep their calendars up to date, however, if you would like to book further in advance (i.e. upcoming months where an Advisor hasn't added her availability yet) or none of the listed times work for you, please email us at support@solotrvlr.com and we’ll work with you to find an alternate time.
