Journeys With Jani – Let’s Talk About It…

If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you know how much I love being a Travel Advisor with Take Time To Travel. This isn’t just a job—it’s my calling, my joy, and my way of connecting people with experiences they’ll treasure forever.

Why I Love This Work

There’s nothing like watching a vacation dream come to life. I get to take the puzzle pieces—flights, hotels, transfers, excursions, meals—and turn them into a masterpiece of memories for my clients. Whether it’s a honeymoon in Hawaii, a family cruise in the Caribbean, or a road trip through the Deep South, the process of planning is just plain fun for me. It lights me up.

And it’s not just about me. I love promoting Take Time To Travel because I know how much we all truly care. We’re not some giant, faceless corporate agency pumping out “deals on wheels.” Book through those big guys, and once you’ve hit submit? Game over, baby, game over. That’s not us. We stick with you from beginning to end—answering questions, adjusting plans, and celebrating right alongside you.

What I Expect From Myself

I hold myself to high standards in this industry. My goal is to gain as much knowledge as I can every single day—because travel is always changing. New hotels, new ships, new tours… I want to be on top of it all so that when you come to me with a dream, I can match you with the very best options. My expectation of myself is simple: be the best I can be for every single client.

My Travel Style

Now, here’s the thing. Most travel advisors pick one or two little niches and stick with them. And that’s fine! Sometimes I think it would be nice to only specialize in one thing. But the truth? People want to travel and do all sorts of things.

Yes, I’m a Hawaiian Islands Specialist—and I adore building those trips—but I plan just about every destination under the sun. You want an all-inclusive resort? Oh honey, fix me a margarita and let’s go! Dreaming of Disney or Universal? Let me grab my mouse ears and wand because your wish can come true. California dreamin’? Me too, every dang day—so let’s get busy!

What Life Looks Like in the Office

Our office stays pretty steady—planning trips, building itineraries, answering calls, and walking through every detail to make sure nothing is missed. It’s not just transactions—it’s relationships. Many clients have become dear friends, and that’s something I treasure most of all.

This last year, I didn’t travel as much as usual because I needed a bit of down time. But as the “BER” months roll around, I’m gearing up for 2026 in a big way! Travel is back, stronger than ever, and I’m excited to be right in the middle of it.

A Little Ask From Me

If you see me posting about everything under the sun and moon, give it a like, give it a share, and know that you’re helping support a small business that truly values you. Every click, every comment, every referral—it all matters. And I can’t say this enough: we appreciate each and every one of you.

Because at the end of the day, being a Travel Advisor isn’t just about booking trips. It’s about building connections, creating joy, and walking with you from start to finish. And I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

XOXO, Jani ✈️
