Joanna Johnsen

I consider myself an equal-opportunity traveler. I love the thrill of travel so much that I don't restrict myself to just one genre or slice of the world. I enjoy mixing it up and exploring local hidden gems as much as I do embarking on all-out three-week trip to Western Africa.

In 2023, for example, you might have found me on our annual St. Regis Puerto Rico trip, at Disney World (unabashed fan here!) or taking my kids on a Disney cruise. I also relaxed at an adult-only resort in Mexico with my girlfriends. Explored Portugal with my extended family. Spent the week eating (way too many) lobster rolls at a Cape Cod resort. Stayed at a rustic B&B in the Green Mountains. Traveled to Lexington, Kentucky to compete in a national equestrian competition. Also enjoyed my favorite restaurants and bars in West Palm Beach, Florida.

That said, if forced to pick my favorite type of trip, you'd find me reading a book by the pool looking out on the ocean. The most challenging decision of my day is which frozen drink should come next. My kids may or may not be in the hotel's kids' club, and you can guarantee I have some killer, compulsively researched dinner reservations.

One of my favorite aspects of travel is the planning process itself. I relish the thrill of the hunt to find the best local restaurant, the top boat charter or the off-the-beaten-path tour that no one knows about. Anticipation of the trip is a key part of the travel experience for me, and I love helping my clients get excited for their upcoming journey! I am proud to be able to offer my expertise to clients with budgets of all sizes. I think, with reasonable expectations, there are exciting and rewarding travel experiences at all price points.
