When I work with a client, I get to know them. I become familiar with their likes, dislikes, preferences, dreams, and hobbies. I pick up on the little things that matter, from the way they’re greeted to the drink they’re served.
I become part of my client’s trusted inner circle—an accolade I don’t take lightly—because I bring ease and joy into their life. Travel isn’t just something I do, but part of who I am..

“We can’t thank Janet enough for our absolutely perfect honeymoon. Everything was beyond our wildest dreams. Nothing went wrong, the transfer services from airports and hotels always on time, car rentals and restaurant reservations always perfect. Everything was thoroughly organized, detailed and taken care of. ”
“Janet carefully took our requirements and came up with several incredible options. Everything worked like clock work and the standard of service we received was outstanding. We will be using Janet again for other planned trips, and can’t recommend her highly enough. A true travel professional.”
RETREATS
You are a business coach who understands that the success of your retreat depends not just on your content, or the destination, it is also about the little details from dietary requirements and allergies, to addressing accessibility concerns. In this service I take time to understand the needs of your event, and the individual attendees. From sourcing venues and negotiating contracts on your behalf, to arranging flowers and special menus, I take the stress out of planning your retreat, so you just need to create the content and wow your guests.
“When it came to the detailed, and sometimes complicated travel requirements of my VIP retreats, there really was just one person to do it. Janet took the time to understand the needs of my business, and the individuals attending my retreats. Her extensive contacts and experience in luxury travel, enabled her to negotiate contracts on our behalf. Her attention to detail saved me time and money.”
“The Borgo was fantastic and Dario and the team went all out to make it great. His wife was our chef and that made it even more special having our meals in the main common area.The conference room was also ready just in time and that was another great add on. It all worked out to create such a special experience which we could never have achieved at a hotel. Thanks for finding this gem.”
Beautifully considered.
Entirely Personal.
Luxury, to me, isn't simply about five-star hotels or flying at the front of the aircraft. It is about having the right things taken care of, thoughtful details you didn't have to ask for, honest advice and the confidence of knowing that someone is looking after the bigger picture.
Below are the six promises behind every journey that I design.
I LISTEN FIrst
No two people travel in quite the same way. Before I recommend a hotel, cruise or destination, I take the time to understand you — what you love, what you don't, how you like to travel and what will make this particular journey special.
I RECOMMEND WITH PURPOSE
Nothing should be included simply because it is fashionable, highly rated or labelled “luxury”. Every hotel, ship, experience and destination I recommend should be there because I believe it is right for you.
I will always give my genuine advice
Sometimes the most valuable thing I can say is, “I don't think that's right for you.” My recommendations are based on experience, knowledge and what I believe will give you the best possible trip — not simply on what I can sell.
I AM here when you need me
My involvement doesn't end when your holiday is booked. Before you travel, while you're away and when you return, you have someone who knows you, understands your journey and is there to help when needed.
ON THE
GROUND
Visiting a new place is a wonder and a privilege. It’s fundamental that every trip I plan is respectful and authentic to the culture and the people of the destination in question. I am proud to work with a select network of partners across the world, who add their priceless local knowledge to my proposed itineraries. While you’re on your trip, you’ll have access to one of my contacts on the ground to assist with any location specific questions, and to help to make your experience an unforgettable one.
