Travel style

I like to strike a balance between urban and nature travel. I tend to plan my trips around food, art, live music or responsible wildlife encounters. You can usually find me at a local restaurant, on a boat or at a modern museum.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about my experience with Jonna at Fora Travel. From the moment we started planning this incredibly long and detailed trip, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism. She took the time to listen to my travel preferences and tailored a vacation that exceeded all my expectations. Not only did Jonna find me an incredible deal on my cruise, but she also worked to curate a fantastic itinerary filled with unique experiences for my land portions of my vacation as well. She helped make my trip truly memorable! If you're looking for a travel agent who genuinely cares and goes above and beyond, honestly, look no further than Jonna.
