Every trip, a story worth telling
We create immersive, high-touch getaways for travelers who value both elevated comfort and genuine connection.
From the perfect truffle risotto at a tucked-away trattoria to a private guide who feels like a friend, we believe true luxury is personal — not performative.

Crafted
consciously.
Luxury escapes.
Underwhelmed by the results.
Maybe you can relate?
It started with “Where should we stay in Tuscany?” and now it’s 47 tabs later, your coffee’s cold, and you’re still not sure if that villa is charming or just... crumbling.
You could keep doom-scrolling TripAdvisor, or you could hand it off to someone who gets you — and just gets it done.
Overwhelmed by tabs.

We loved everything on the trip, the planned activities were all awesome, and the food was amazing.
Thank you so much for all of your careful attention and work to plan this magnificent trip for us - we have both been singing your praises to everyone we know!
You’re not looking for a cookie-cutter trip or a rigid itinerary packed with over-commercialized experiences.
You just want to experience the real best of your destination — without the fluff.
To enjoy comfort and ease without sacrificing authenticity.
To have everything just work.
It seems like a simple request, right?
What you want isn't complicated.
But finding it sure is.
So why is it so hard to find a travel planner who actually delivers it?
Too many agencies design around the destination — not the traveler.
“Thailand? Here’s how we do Thailand.”
But travel isn’t a template.
It should reflect who you are, what you value, and how you want to feel.
At JLJ Travel, your journey doesn’t start with a place — it starts with you.
The best trips don't start with a place— they start with a person

We’ve never felt more understood and seen about travel than we did during this process.

A confidante—not a conglomerate

Around here, boutique isn’t a buzzword, it's the reality.
When you work with JLJ Travel, you’re not getting passed from department to department.
You’re not one of one hundred getting filtered through a process.
You’re working directly with an expert who is paying attention to the little things — the ones that make the difference between a good trip and an unforgettable one.
