About Simply Elite Travel and Tours
Simply Elite Travel and Tours
For over three decades, Simply Elite Travel and Tours has been doing something we genuinely love — connecting real people with the kind of travel moments that stay with them for life. The ones they photograph, yes, but more importantly the ones they feel. The first glimpse of the Amalfi coastline from a winding cliff road. The sound of the Amazon at dawn. Standing in the ancient streets of Rome and suddenly understanding why everyone told you to go.
We started with a simple belief: that travel is one of the most powerful things a human being can do. It stretches you, surprises you, connects you to places and people you never knew you needed. And when it’s planned well — when every detail is handled by someone who actually cares — it becomes something you carry with you forever.
My passion
Thirty years ago, I fell in love with travel. Not just the destinations — though trust me, those are spectacular — but the feeling of helping someone experience something they’ve always dreamed about. That’s what hooked me. And honestly? It still does, every single day.
I spent over three decades working in corporate travel, and that world taught me everything. Complex itineraries across multiple countries. Last-minute changes that needed solving in minutes, not hours. The kind of clients who expect everything to be perfect — and deserve nothing less. I learned how to stay calm under pressure, how to think three steps ahead, and most importantly, how to make people feel completely taken care of even when things don’t go exactly to plan.
But somewhere along the way, I realized I wanted more than logistics. I wanted connection. I wanted to sit across from a family planning their first big trip together, or a couple celebrating 25 years of marriage, and actually build something special for them — not just process a booking.
So in 2018, I took the leap. I started Simply Elite Travel and Tours on my own terms — part time at first, building something I believed in while still serving my corporate clients. It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
Then 2023 came, and I made it official. I walked away from the corporate world completely and threw everything I had into Simply Elite Travel and Tours. Full time. All in. No looking back.
Today, Simply Elite Travel and Tours is more than a travel agency to me — it’s a promise I make to every single client who trusts us with their trip. A promise that we will listen more than we talk. That we will care about your experience as much as you do. That we will handle every detail — the ones you think of and the ones you don’t — so that when you finally arrive wherever you’re going, all you have to do is breathe it in.
I built Simply Elite Travel and Tours on three things: trust, integrity, and a genuine love for this work. Those aren’t words on a wall in our office. They’re the reason I get up every morning excited to do this job.
I’d love to help plan your next adventure. Let’s talk.
JANET
Lead Travel Advisor Groups and Cruise Specialist
I’ve spent over 15 years making sure people feel genuinely taken care of — and joining Simply Elite was the moment that work finally felt like a calling.
Travel has always been my passion. New countries, new cultures, new cuisines — I live for all of it. And now I get to help other people experience that same joy, every single day.
I specialize in group travel and cruises, which means I’m the person who figures out how to get everyone on the right ship, in the right cabin, at the right price — and makes it look effortless. I hold Specialist designations in the Bahamas, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Antigua, and Barbuda, and I’m always adding more.
When you work with me, you get someone who genuinely cares about getting every detail right — because your trip deserves nothing less.

For me, travel has never been just about the destination. It’s about the moment someone realizes their dream trip is actually happening — and knowing I helped make that possible.
With a background in Hospitality and years of customer service experience, I bring warmth, creativity, and a genuine passion for finding the best possible options at every budget. Whether you’re dreaming of a perfect ocean-view cabin on a cruise or a magical getaway for the whole family — I’m the person who makes sure every detail feels exactly right.
What drives me most is people. Family, friends, community — that’s why I do this. Every trip I plan gets the same care and attention I’d give to planning something special for someone I love.
Your dream vacation is closer than you think. Let’s make it happen.
