About Nancy Barkley | International Event Strategist

I founded Honeymoons and Get-A-Ways with a distinct mandate: to bring rigorous logistical strategy and a refined, slow-travel aesthetic to the world of destination events and romantic travel.

With more than two decades of active experience spanning the global travel, hospitality, and destination events industry, my work combines complex project management with a deep focus on high-touch guest experience. 

My approach is defined entirely by values and cultural curiosity, creating travel that focuses on the soul of a destination rather than mass commercialism.

Global Reach and Industry Impact

Beyond private strategy and coordination, I actively consult on the future of global tourism and guest experience.

• International Speaker and Educator: I routinely conduct global workshops and deliver keynotes—from historic venues in Greece to major industry summits—focusing on entrepreneurship and the elevation of the modern guest experience.
• Media Authority: My insights on travel trends, hospitality standards, and destination management are regularly featured in premier publications including The New York Times, Forbes, CNN, and Travel Weekly.
• Editorial Voice: I am the primary writer and editor of The Culture and Travel Report, a publication dedicated to slow travel, authentic local immersion, and the intersection of wine, literature, and regional exploration.

The Operational Process

Phase 1: Strategic Discovery :  Aligning your foundational vision, prioritizing values, cultural exploration preferences, and the specific logistical scope of the destination.

Phase 2: Logistical Blueprinting: I map out the operational framework, vetting international vendors, coordinating regional compliance, and building a friction-free framework for your itinerary or event.

Phase 3: Orchestration and Execution:From pre-departure briefings to behind-the-scenes coordination, I manage the moving parts, ensuring you experience the destination fully present and entirely uninterrupted.
