About Me

Morning Yoga Session - Ubud, Bali
Morning Yoga Session - Ubud, Bali

Traveling can do wonders for your mental and physical health. So much so that "Wellness Travel" is currently trending in the travel industry. With everything going on right now we will all need a vacation like this! Wellness Travel can be anything from a solo getaway, to yoga retreat, to a mountain summit trip. These trips are designed to enrich the mind, body, and soul. The best part is... YOU are the one who decides what "wellness" means means to you. Do you want to kick it up a notch and climb Mount Kilimanjaro? Or slow it way down at a Wellness Spa in Bhutan? Go alone, with family & friends, or join in a small group journey! Wellness Travel is all about immersing yourself in the culture and traditions of different parts of the world. Get away from the craziness of day to day life and connect with your mindfulness, health and well-being.

Amazing Vacation!

Jane was awesome. She was very knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to work with. She made great restaurant and excursion recommendations, which was very helpful as this was our first time there.

Easy Peasy
Reviewed By Roz - Kalamazoo, MI | Traveled to Traverse City ~ Michigan ~ USA
Jane was a pleasure to work with. I'm really excited that I didn't have to go through the tiring and rigorous process of finding a place to stay, a car, and stuff to do. She planned a trip for me that was in my budget, timing, and interest and I didn't have to worry about anything. Thank you, Jane

FIVE START SERVICE ALWAYS
Reviewed By Sharon S. - Chicago, Illinois | Traveled to Rome ~ Italy ~ Europe
Working with Jane was amazing, I have recommended her to over five of my friends and they all have worked with her. I have booked over four trips with her and will never book with anyone else! We have gone to Rome, London, Paris, Tokyo, Cancun and so many other places. It is ALWAYS five-star service. We barely have to lift a finger!

    Alaskan Luxury Family Cruise
    Book your trips with Solstice Travel! Jane left no detail out. It was so well organized (and for 19 family members, 5 different families) one would think it would be impossible. But not for them. Our trip could not go any smoother. Jane took care of everything from start to finish. She over exceeded our expectations by a land slide and even had a surprise on board for us. What a nice touch!"
