Our Journeys to Yours: The "Been There, Done That" Magic

Hello my friends!

Can you feel it? That little flutter of excitement, that whisper of wanderlust that’s been building up? It’s happening! You're starting to plan, to dream, to get that travel itch.  And frankly, so are we. 

We've been busy behind the scenes creating some truly special private, personally escorted groups for you in the coming years – get ready for adventures that will simply leave you breathless! But that's not all:

We've been noticing something really wonderful lately. So many of you are reaching out, not just for a destination, but for our insights. You’re curious about where we’ve been, what we’ve loved, and what makes a trip truly special. It’s like you’re asking for our personal travel diary, and that’s honestly the best compliment we could ever receive! It tells us you trust us to help you find those unique experiences and memorable moments.

From Our Journeys to Yours: The "Been There, Done That" Magic

You see, the heart of The Joy of Travel is our own love for exploration. We don't just recommend places; we experience them. Remember that time I was awestruck by the sheer scale of the great wildebeest migration on the Serengeti? Or, more recently, spending an afternoon at a prestigious French winery, followed by a hands-on session with a talented French chef learning to create exquisite pastries? The air was filled with the scent of fresh strawberries and rich butter, and every bite was pure bliss. These are the moments we live for, and they’re the stories we love to share.

It’s these personal adventures – whether it’s the vibrant buzz of Oktoberfest or the serene beauty of a river cruise in Europe – that shape our recommendations. We’ve navigated the bustling Christmas Markets of Europe, felt the crisp air watching whales off the coast of Cabo, and even gotten lost (happily!) in the charming streets of Venice. It’s this first-hand knowledge, our own little "travel scars" and triumphs, that allows us to guide you to experiences that truly resonate.

Why We Love Sharing Our Discoveries

When you see photos of us enjoying a perfect sunset in Santorini or marveling at ancient ruins in Greece, it’s not just for show. It’s our way of saying, "This is possible, and it's absolutely wonderful!" We want to inspire you with the beauty and diversity of the world, and sharing our personal journeys is the most honest way we know how.

Your trust means the world to us. It’s an honor to be your trusted partner in planning those bigger trips, the ones that require a bit more thought and a lot more heart. We’re here to share the insider tips, the little nudges that make a good trip great, and the confidence that comes from knowing someone who’s been there is guiding your way.

The world is waiting, and we’re here to help you explore it in your own unique, joyful way. Let’s chat about your next adventure and sprinkle in some of that first-hand JOY magic!
