Travel style: Red carpet escapes
When I became a Fora Travel Advisor, I knew the first thing I wanted to do was provide blockbuster trips on a budget.
Growing up in lower-middle-class Chicago, I watched the matinee idols at the Milford Theater for a dollar. When I walked out of those doors, I felt like a star—like Indiana Jones escaping the jungle or James Bond immersed in a world of exotic locales. I’ve carried that passion through a 40-year career in entertainment, from reporting on red carpets for Variety to an 18-year tenure as a “legal eagle” for Disney. Now, I provide that same feeling of luxury for my clients through exclusive perks only an insider can access.
With Hollywood Greg’s Red Carpet Escapes, I show you how to navigate the world’s most famous landmarks without going broke. I specialize in securing 5-star experiences for a 3-star price, focusing on premium value and the kind of “backstage” secrets only four decades in Hollywood can provide. Whether you’re chasing film history in Ireland, island jumping in Greece, or traversing the wild landscapes of the Nordics, I turn your travel dreams into a production-ready reality.
My specialties:
-Cinematic and film-inspired travel: If it was on screen, I can get you there.
- The “shot spot” expert: Specializing in the cinematic backdrops of Ireland, Scotland, Iceland, and Norway, as well as deep-dives into my hometown of Chicago and my current base in Los Angeles.
-The ‘Hollywood Greg’ value: Strategies for premium luxury travel with “carry-on only” efficiency and high-yield financial savvy.
-Nostalgia and set-jetting tours: Exploring iconic 80s and 90s movie and music moments worldwide through a retro lens.

Costa Maya: Raiders of the Lost Port
The morning sun beat down on the shores of Costa Maya as ships lined the horizon and travelers poured onto the pier in search of beaches, bargains, and frozen drinks. But not every traveler comes for the obvious prize. Some of us come chasing legends. Beyond the shops, beyond the crowds, beyond the postcard-perfect water, the jungle was guarding one of the Yucatán’s greatest secrets—the ancient Chacchoben Mayan Ruins. And naturally, that was where Hollywood Greg and Valley Girl Darlene were headed.

Lido Deck to Liquid Gold: Hollywood Greg's Ensenada Wine Run with Carnival Cruise Line
Move over, Napa Valley. We headed across the border to the Valle de Guadalupe and L.A. Cetto and La Casa de Doña Lupe Wineries to see if Mexico’s wine mecca could actually compete with California’s best. Join Hollywood Greg and Valley Girl Darlene as we go beyond the boring blowhole tours to these stunning vineyards in Ensenada on the exotic Baja Peninsula. These award-winning vintages at both historic facilities, of very distinct personalities, are "Five Star" wine tasting you won't want to miss.
