What has been your most memorable travel experience to date?

My most memorable travel experience was the year I spent journeying solo across Europe, Asia, and Australia. Traveling alone pushed me far outside my comfort zone and opened me up to the world in ways I never expected. I met incredible people from all walks of life, some of whom have become lifelong friends, and discovered how empowering it is to navigate new places entirely on my own. From skydiving over the coast of Australia to earning my scuba diving license in Thailand, feeding elephants at sanctuaries in Chiang Mai, and tasting unforgettable street food in Vietnam, every experience reminded me how much beauty there is in both the adventure and the stillness of travel. That year taught me not just how to see the world, but how to truly experience it, and it continues to shape the way I design every journey for my clients.

What does your perfect vacation day look like?

My perfect vacation day takes me back to Saint Martin, where my family traveled every year growing up. The day begins with a warm croissant or pain au chocolat from a local French bakery, enjoyed slowly with coffee and ocean air. Late morning melts into an easy afternoon on one of the island’s beautiful beaches, lounging on sunbeds and taking breaks for long, leisurely lunches at a beachfront restaurant. As the sun sets, the island comes alive with its mix of cultures, and dinner is always an indulgence, whether it’s fresh seafood, handmade pasta, or classic French cuisine. The night ends just as it should: with good music, a glass of wine or rum punch, and dancing under the stars.

Travel Tip

  • Keep a master packing list on your phone that you can reuse for every trip. It saves time and stress—no more scrambling to remember what you need the night before a flight. Whether it’s chargers, adapters, or that one skincare essential you always forget, having a go-to checklist ensures you never leave behind the important stuff. It’s a simple habit that makes frequent travel feel effortless.

Testimonials

Jade Lane Experiences are incredible. We missed our connection in Miami due to weather—the airport shut down and all flights were canceled. Stranded at 10pm with no hotel availability and rebooking lines around the block, it felt hopeless. Then JLE stepped in. They found us a hotel room and rebooked our flight home for the next day using miles—even after the airline told us the earliest they could get us out was two days later. I’ll never travel again without Jade Lane watching our back.
