My Story
A passionate world traveler, a detailed planner and a CPA who loves exploring the world and seeking new adventures, always with her same Starbucks chai in hand.
My Travel Style
Having traveled to more than 50 countries and having lived on three continents, I know that traveling is more than just a passion — it is a way of life. I am often planning my next trip before my current trip even starts! I love creating unforgettable experiences and lifetime memories. I plan my travel around the whole experience, from local food and wine to amazing excursions to sensational accommodations. It’s like a puzzle, putting the pieces together to form a one-of-a-kind experience. From renting a villa in Tuscany with a private chef to riding a Tuk-Tuk through the bustling streets of Hanoi, the world is a fascinating place!

Thank you, Joanne, for expertly coordinating our hotels, dining, tours, and transport across six cities. Your expertise made our trip efficient and memorable, especially with your extra recommendations—some of which ended up being highlights we wouldn't have found ourselves. We couldn't have managed such a smooth, enjoyable trip without your guidance. I look forward to planning more trips together.

Joanne was amazing to work with. Clearly LOVES to travel, finding interesting local experiences and working with your (and your families') interests and passions. Joanne helped craft and change a complicated itinerary, presenting options in a timely manner and then adapting to the needs of our family. She helped create a great trip with many memories in a way that allowed us to be as much a part of the planning and ideas that we wanted to be a part of. Checked in with us during the trip to make sure we were having a great experience. Highly recommend. Can't wait to plan the next trip!

Joanne was very easy to work with. She took into account our preferences and budget. She also communicated clearly all the information we needed for this reservation.

Joanne was exceptional—from booking the hotel, providing information around local attractions, as well as transportation options. She went above and beyond to coordinate with the hotel to make our daughter's 21st birthday very special! I have recommended to my friends and family.

Joanne Kelly is fabulous in every regard. She is extremely knowledgeable, patient, kind, and caring. She listens well and understood exactly what we wanted and needed. She sent me email updates throughout the trip and made sure everything went well, worrying so I did not have to. I never could have put together this trip without her--she found special, reasonably priced hotels; booked excursions that I would not have had the confidence to find, and helped organize the trip to maximize our time there while enjoying many other special moments along the way. I am afraid to ever plan a trip without her again. She is magic!
