I have been traveling with Jo Callaghan for 40 years. Our journeys began on an American Airlines observation flight in flight school. Now this is important to know… Jo Lynne is a unique agent, she knows the travel industry from customer service side of travel. She is able to make a exclusive experience and as a certified life coach she can truly assist her travel community to experience life as a local or royalty. Or both! I have travelled to Greece, Panama to a remote fishing village in Pinos Bay staying on the mothership and fishing in the day, African Safaris staying in luxury camps such as singita, and mombo camps, Peru on the Bilmont train through the countryside, to Machu Pichu Cusco, markets in lima and some of Limas most fine dining restaurants. Sand boarding the dunes in the desert.
If you want adventure she has it, relaxation she knows, offering the best restaurants whether getting you into a Michelin stars or experiencing local restaurants and flair where you experience the culture, and feel the vibration of the land and people.
Want something in personal growth? how about a woman’s retreat and have with a personal life coach to help you with your goals as you experience, explore the destination of your choice. Yes Jo Lynne is a seasoned traveler, and she will help you custom design your dream experience vacation. She did with my family time and time again!
I know whether you’re dining in a 12 course culinary experience or enjoying a local cooking class experience, pottery class or enjoying a local horse back adventure in the mountains of Puerto Rico. Jo enjoys planning your journey and gets excited as if it was her own… I’m so grateful I’ve traveled the globe with Jo! You will be so happy she guided you through as all you need to do is pack your bag and go! Happy travels with Jo! -A.Lightfoot, March 2024
Jo Callaghan, thanks for your help organizing. We did enjoy our trip to Greece and being able to see the islands and learn about the history and experience the local cuisine. The ship was very nice and our room was very spacious and comfortable. All of the staff on the ship were very courteous and went out of their way to accommodate us.
The additional time in Santorini was fun and relaxing. We spent time walking in Oai, the spa was very relaxing, food was great, sunsets were beautiful. The last day we rented a car and drove the island and I enjoyed getting to do that on our own time and see the entire island.
In Athens, the tour was quick but it fit the time we had. The only issue was we should have ordered tickets for the Parthenon in advance so we could get there early before the crowds. The driver that gave us the tour admitted he wasn’t a tour guide, but being from there he gave us his best description of the highlights.
We both enjoyed the available excursions on each island. Ephesus was the one we enjoyed the most. The ride there was long (3 hours), but we were able to see a lot on the ride to consume some of the time. On the trip we toured Ephesus, had a traditional Turkish lunch, and learned about the art of Turkish handmade rugs, then visited the house of Virgin Mary. A lot was packed into the trip, but well worth it.
Thanks again for helping us get this organized and I am glad we were able to experience Greece together. -J. Carnley, October 2024
