Travel style
My travel style is open-minded, adventurous, curious and relaxed! I prefer to vacation in a new place every time I get on a plane, but I have my "oldie but goodie" locations that I could visit again and again, too.
Travel to me means freedom, exploration and relaxation, which is what I will aim for when planning your vacation. My motto while away is "Don't nobody bring me no bad news!," as I'm on vacation for a good time, but not always for a long time. I love to exercise in the morning to tend to my wellness, and then "hit the streets" to do some kind of educational or food excursion that is native to where I'm visiting. I'm fascinated with learning about local history (black history in particular), trying favorite foods and pastimes and seeing where people live, work and play.
With that said, I am also totally down for a pool, beach, shopping or spa day and I like water, food and animal-related tours, I find. I'm a curious by nature person who is open to trying new things on vacation that are trendy, unique and special.
To top it off, I like to unwind at night, typically with a good meal at a local hot spot, a glass of wine (or two) and a good audiobook. My goal is to have a relaxing and memorable vacation, with lots of Instagram-worthy pictures to swoon over!
If you choose me as your travel advisor, I'll work hard to make sure your travel style is reflected throughout every aspect of your bespoke journey!

Janine 's reviews
The trip was truly amazing. The driving service was on point from Gigi to the local drivers that moved us around on time. The Brindisi tour was was worth the price as the experience, history and local food was time well spent. Canne Bianche is a resort unlike any other. The anniversary dinner was such a memorable moment. And the boat tour to close the trip out was the best way to spend our final hours in Puglia. Janine was always accessible with updates and changes to the trip. When we go back we will definitely coordinate the trip through Janine and will also make referrals her exceptional work, planning, and coordination.

Janine did an excellent job planning our vacation! From start to finish, she made sure everything was taken care of and all I had to do was give her my wishes and credit card number. When we arrived, my daughter was surprised to receive a birthday gift, which was a nice, sweet touch by Janine. She also made sure we had a great room with an incredible view. Overall, she’s organized, patient, and prompt! I’ve already called her for my next getaway.

Janine is an outstanding travel agent. She curated an amazing trip to Jamaica for my family and paid close attention to the details I shared for a luxury getaway. To top it off, while in a crunch with the airlines, Janine reserved transportation to allow us to return home on schedule. I look forward to working with Janine on upcoming trips and vacations. To have a travel agent who is available, detail oriented and communicates efficiently provides a peace of mind I did not know I needed.

I will only plan all future trips with Janine. I cannot believe I have spent all these years coordinating, chasing down Viator because online never works with Viator, and all the back and forth. My life of travel will be 1000% better now that I have discovered the services of Janine. Her attention to detail is impeccable. And instead of me chasing down vendors, Janine actually chased us down and kept us on schedule and target. Janine is not only the consummate business person, she is kind and thoughtful. Janine, can’t wait to work with you again. Thank you so much for making my travel life easier
