Welcome to Gold Horizon Travel

Hello — I’m Sabrina Steinhauer, founder and Certified Travel Specialist behind Gold Horizon Travel. I’m so glad you’re here.

Australia

Gold Horizon Travel began with a simple truth I saw again and again: people love the idea of travel, but the process of planning it can quickly steal the joy. Friends and clients would tell me how excited they were to take a dream trip — until they found themselves lost in research tabs, comparing hundreds of options, reading conflicting reviews, and second-guessing every decision. What should have been inspiring turned into overwhelm.

I started Gold Horizon Travel to change that. My mission is to make travel feel effortless again — to take the stress, the logistics, and the “what-ifs” off your plate so you can focus on what really matters: the experience. Every trip I plan is a partnership built on trust, communication, and care.

From destination honeymoons and family adventures to luxury cruises and once-in-a-lifetime escapes, I believe every traveler deserves the peace of mind that comes from knowing their trip is handled by someone who truly cares.

At Gold Horizon Travel, we’re a full-service travel agency dedicated to transforming how people experience the world. We plan and manage every type of journey — from family vacations, cruises, and all-inclusives to bucket-list adventures, honeymoons, and specialty travel.

Whether it’s a simple weekend getaway or a complex multi-country itinerary, our clients know they can rely on us to handle every detail so they can simply show up and enjoy.

But more than that — we help solve the problems that make travel feel overwhelming in the first place:

• Endless choices and confusing online advice

• Uncertainty about what’s worth your time and budget

• Logistical headaches — flights, transfers, excursions, and dining

• Allergy and dietary concerns, especially for gluten-free travelers

• Decision fatigue and planning burnout

We bring clarity, confidence, and calm to the process — turning travel dreams into expertly crafted experiences.

💫 Client Stories That Inspire What We Do

Each client story reminds me why Gold Horizon Travel exists: to give people the freedom to enjoy travel again.

The Australia & New Zealand Adventure

When a busy professional mom reached out about planning a three-week trip to visit her son in Australia and New Zealand, she was completely overwhelmed. Between work, family, and a complex international itinerary, she didn’t know where to begin.

During our consultation, she shared her vision — she wanted to explore the outdoors, hike through stunning landscapes, see a rugby game, and visit the famous Lord of the Rings filming sites. I took her ideas and turned them into a seamless multi-country, multi-city road trip itinerary through both Australia and New Zealand.

By coordinating flights, lodging, car rentals, and experiences, we created a journey that balanced adventure with rest — from breathtaking hikes to unique local stays. She later told me it was one of the most meaningful trips of her life, not just because of the memories made, but because she finally got to enjoy them without worrying about logistics.

A Gluten-Free Honeymoon in Maine

An engaged couple came to me in the thick of wedding planning — excited but exhausted. On top of all the wedding details, the bride had a gluten allergy, and the thought of finding safe dining options while traveling made her consider packing her own food for the whole trip. What should have been a dream honeymoon felt like a logistical nightmare.

During our consultation, I listened to their vision: a romantic fall road trip along Maine’s iconic coastline, filled with art, hiking, and cozy inns. Within days, I designed a personalized itinerary that not only captured their dream route but also included carefully vetted gluten-free accommodations and dining options at every stop.

From allergy-safe bed-and-breakfasts to charming seaside restaurants that catered to her needs, every meal and moment was thoughtfully planned.

The Norway Dream Trip — Saved

A retired couple reached out after nearly booking a guided tour of Norway on their own. They’d handled most of the planning and were ready to click “confirm,” but something held them back. They wanted reassurance that everything was right — and I’m so glad they called.

When I reviewed their plans, I discovered a major issue: their flight dates didn’t account for the day lost traveling overseas. If they had booked directly, they would have arrived after their tour had already started.

I immediately corrected the flights, secured their tour, and arranged transfers — turning what could have been a costly disaster into a flawless dream vacation. They returned home thrilled, not just by the beauty of Norway, but by the peace of mind that came from having someone watching out for them.

Clients choose Gold Horizon Travel because when they work with me, they know exactly who’s in their corner. I’m not a call center — I’m a real person who learns your story, listens to your goals, and crafts an experience just for you. Clients trust me because I care deeply about your comfort, safety, and joy — from the first conversation to the moment you return home. With me, you gain more than an itinerary; you gain a partner who ensures your trip is stress-free, thoughtfully planned, and truly unforgettable.

Behind the title of Certified Travel Specialist, I’m first and foremost a mom to a beautiful six-year-old daughter. Much of my joy comes from exploring, learning, and seeing the world

through her eyes.

I’m also a private pilot — the skies are my happy place and a constant reminder of the freedom and wonder travel brings. When I’m not planning trips or flying, you’ll often find me curled up with a good book. One of my favorite rituals is visiting the airport bookstore before takeoff — a small tradition that makes every journey feel like the start of a new adventure.

At heart, I’m not just a travel advisor — I’m an explorer of life, someone who finds joy in the journey and believes every client deserves to experience travel with that same excitement and peace of mind. This blog is my way of sharing what I’ve learned from years of planning, exploring, and helping clients make their dream trips happen.

Here, you’ll find:

• Educational content to help you become a smarter, more confident traveler.

• Travel tips to simplify planning and avoid stress.

• Destination inspiration — from my own adventures and client favorites.

• Gluten-free & allergy-friendly insights (yes, you can travel safely with dietary needs!).

• Behind-the-scenes stories about life as a travel advisor and traveler myself.

My goal is to make this space a mix of inspiration and practical advice — something you can bookmark, learn from, and come back to anytime you’re dreaming of your next getaway.
