OUR STORY
Founded as a travel itinerary planning company by Alexandra Spergel in 2016, The Nomad’s Direction found great success in the travel industry from the get go. With plenty of satisfied travel clients, and lots to do, Alexandra brought on her friend of almost a decade, me! I’m Gina Jurlando, a wedding planner and travel coordinator, who started work as an operations manager for The Nomad’s Direction in 2018 and have been with TND ever since!
In 2019, Alexandra decided to begin to pursue other interests and I continued to work in the wedding industry. Then 2020 hit and everything changed. I saw so many of my clients change their plans from large celebrations to couple only elopements or microweddings. I found myself spending more time researching vendors and travel regulations, changing timelines, and advising on where it would be safe to elope to than I ever had before. Thus the idea for the relaunch of The Nomad’s Direction was born. The Nomad’s Direction pivoted to focus more on small elopements, micro weddings and honeymoons to better serve our clients. We want nothing more than to plan you the event or trip of a lifetime!
