    Janine loves the relationships that she has built with her clients over the last 20 years in the travel industry. To her, it doesn’t matter if she’s planning a weekend away or a few months of travelling for her clients – she will always deliver exceptional attention to detail and care when planning their itinerary.

    Every trip is completely personalised, with her own recommendations and unexpected experiences thrown in to really make their holiday special.

    Janine loves to design all different kinds of holidays for her clients, from unforgettable honeymoons and special occasions to luxury resorts, cruising and off-the-beaten-track experiences. There’s nothing better for Janine than hearing her client’s stories and favourite experiences when they return from their trip.

    Janine’s favourite destination is Europe, and she cannot wait to get back to exploring every unique corner of this vibrant and diverse continent. She’s also travelled through Asia, the South Pacific, Middle East, USA and Mexico, and she loves including her personal experiences and knowledge from these destinations when designing itineraries for her clients.

    It’s hard for Janine to pick a favourite travel experience. How could you possibly compare walking and getting lost in the Souks of Marrakesh and Fez in Morocco with relaxing on a Greek Island and eating in the local Tavernas? There was also driving around Puglia in Italy, joining a cooking lesson and eating delicious pasta, and camping in the Okavango Delta in Botswana. Every travel experience is different and she loves them all, as every trip changes something within you in the most magical way.

    Janine is excited to help you plan your next unforgettable holiday, filled with special moments that can only come from a travel industry veteran like herself. No matter what happens along the way, she is there to support you and cannot wait to hear your favourite moments on your return.

    Get to know me

    What are your favourite destinations to visit and why?

    Greece! My husband is Greek and we spend a lot of time there. Mainland Greece is so beautiful and the islands are amazing. Italy has my heart, because of the food and culture. I also love any destination with wildlife - I have been lucky to travel to Botswana and the Galapagos Islands. Most recently, I visited the Arctic Circle and had the experience of feeding a herd of reindeer! 

    What is the most amazing experience you have created for a client?

    I was lucky to help plan a trip for clients who were invited to have an evening dinner at Balmoral Castle - a once-in-a-lifetime experience! It was in December just before Christmas, so it was a magical time with all the Christmas lights and markets. This was a very special trip to Scotland that included afternoon tea on The Royal Yacht Britannia in Edinburgh. Just to do something completely different, they had a stopover in Dubai and an overnight desert safari.  

    Why do you love travel? Tell us what it means to you?

    Travelling excites and inspires me! I like to experience and challenge myself in a new culture and try a new language! Every time I return from a trip, I feel I come back slightly different. Travelling can also rejuvenate and ground you. 

    How do you go above and beyond for your clients?

    By really listening to my clients and what they would like to experience on their travels! I genuinely care about their trip, as they are trusting me, and I want to make sure that everything goes smoothly. I also make myself available to help with anything during their travels. And I like to offer experiences that they hadn't thought of to make their journey extra special.
