"As a leader, Jonna is warm, gracious and has incredible attention to detail, sourcing the best food, restaurants, shopping, artisans, and accommodations. She put together a most amazing week in Oaxaca for our group, truly taking curated travel to the next level."
"Spending six full days in Oaxaca, Mexico, Jonna curated outings that met every desire. The trip was a mash-up of culture, food, artisans and shopping! Visiting local artisans and learning the history of their crafts was a genuinely unique experience. Weavers, candle makers and chefs shared their stories and generational traditions with us. But perhaps the highlight of the visit was the cooking class with Alfonso and his parents. Now I can prepare the wonderful food of Oaxaca in my own home! Her connections with local guides and drivers added to our fully immersive adventure. Where to next, Jonna?"
"Jonna led an unforgettable journey through Oaxaca, Mexico… one rich in history, culture, and flavor. From day one, she immersed us in the vibrant spirit of the region, introducing us to passionate local artisans who welcomed us into their world. We learned the art of weaving, candlestick making, traditional market shopping, and of course, savored the diverse and delicious Oaxacan cuisine. Each person we met had an inspiring story to tell, and it was clear that Jonna had built deep, genuine connections in the community. This wasn’t just a trip, it was a meaningful cultural exchange, curated with heart."

"I recently had the opportunity of traveling to Morocco with Jonna and a great group of women. The trip highly exceeded my expectations in every way! We saw and experienced more than I could have imagined. The colors, the culture, the feelings that Morocco gave to me will always be in my heart. I can’t wait until her next adventure is planned so I can experience another life changing excursion! Thank you Jonna, for showing us the world in a way we couldn’t have seen on our own."
"Morocco is an explosion for the senses! I'll never forget the sights, sounds and experiences that Jonna curated for us on our 10 day trip through the southwest of Morocco. From the souks of Marrakesh to the dry desert of Agafay, on to the coast of Essaouira and finally to the natural beauty of the Atlas Mountains, Jonna skillfully arranged our days. Every step of the way, from food to lodging and everything in between, was carefully planned by Jonna to show us beautiful Morocco! I'm so happy to have joined her trip."
