Who we are
Glovay was founded by Bea Birkhofer, whose career began far from traditional travel planning — in aerospace engineering. Working in a mission-driven environment shaped her approach to precision, problem-solving, and responsibility at the highest level. Outside of work, Bea spent her life traveling — first as a young girl with parents and friends and later throughout adulthood with anyone who could and would — seeking out new countries and deepening relationships through these experiences whenever the opportunity arose. She was always drawn to the places that felt just out of reach, guided by a single question: Where have I always wanted to go, but assumed was too far, too expensive, or too daunting to plan? Then, she went anyway.
That mindset became the foundation of Glovay.
Today, we exist to remove the barriers that keep extraordinary travel on the “someday” list. By combining meticulous planning, global access, and a deeply personal approach, Glovay designs luxury journeys that feel achievable, seamless, and entirely customized. From nurturing retreats to elevated honeymoons and unique vacations, we handle every detail — so our clients can experience the world without hesitation, friction, or compromise.
From our Clients:
“The Tahiti recommendations were exceptional and elevated our honeymoon. From breathtaking beach locations, to fun daily activities around the island, to incredible dining suggestions, every detail was thoughtfully and impeccably curated.
The private boat ride to a magical island for an intimate champagne lunch became the highlight of our honeymoon. Bea was always just a text away and communicated clearly, making the entire process and trip feel effortless. We would have never had a lot of the experiences or made the lifelong memories we now have without her helping us with this trip. We cannot wait to work with her again!”

“Glovay made my five week solo trip through Asia unforgettable. Their team planned every detail, from first-class flights across five countries with champagne service to booking some excursions I’ve been looking forward to for years. I watched fire dancers in Phi Phi Islands, snowboarded in Japan, and sat ringside at a Muay Thai tournament in Phuket. The highlight of the trip was celebrating New Year’s Eve aboard the highest gondola in the world.
What impressed me most was Glovay’s attention to detail and ability to create a perfect balance of luxury, adventure, and cultural experiences. Every transfer was smooth, every excursion was thoughtfully arranged, and their communication throughout the trip was outstanding. I was thankful I had the Glovay Selects package because I had a couple hiccups throughout the five weeks that thankfully Bea was able to help me work through.
I highly recommend Glovay to anyone looking for a premium travel planning service.”
