Get to Know Jane...

When I'm not exploring faraway lands or interesting places closer to home, I'm consumed with researching, dreaming, planning and delving into all things travel. My enthusiasm and love of exploration are endless and the wanderlust in me yearns to experience it all.

From Teenage Tokyo to Plane Jane: A Lifelong Passion Takes Flight

With a family move overseas; a teenage odyssey in Japan unlocked a world of wonder, igniting a passion and wanderlust for travel that would forever change the trajectory of my life. A history degree and 26 year career as an international flight attendant were the perfect complements to my insatiable curiosity and love for adventure. This lifelong passion for discovery is the very foundation upon which Plane Jane Travel was built.

Destiny Found in Paradise: My Favorite Travel Partners

Beneath the Hawaiian sun, a chance meeting with a U.S. naval officer, kindred spirit, and fellow wanderluster forever altered my path. Together, we have embarked on a journey that's spanned over three decades, 80+ countries, 6 continents, two incredible and adventurous kids, and too many animals in our house to count. We are still enthusiastic travelers always planning our next great adventure and chasing the thrill of the unknown.

History, Animals, Adventure: A Trifecta of Exploration

As a passionate animal lover and active rescuer, I've embarked on adventures that combine my love of history and exploration with a deep respect for wildlife. From volunteering at elephant sanctuaries in India to swimming alongside majestic whale sharks in the Maldives, trekking the sacred gorillas in Africa, frolicking with seals in the Galápagos Islands or just observing kangaroos and crocs in the Australian Outback; I embrace every opportunity to witness, give back and support animal conservation efforts.

Africa is a feeling... - Kevin Fraser

As an Africa specialist, I personally make multiple trips a year to the continent and understand the complexities that are involved with African travel. From helping you decide which countries to visit and how to arrange your experiences, to packing strategies, matching expectations with reality, and all of the small, but important decisions and preparations that need to occur prior to your visit; I am here to guide you on your African journey and beyond...

Hawaii

Jane of Plane Jane Travel was an amazing guide and travel resource for our family's trip to Hawaii. She's incredibly smart and travel savvy and without Jane our phenomenal trip would not have happened. She listened to us and created a travel experience that fit our family's specific interests. Anyone can book a flight or reserve a room but Jane has the professionalism, expertise, connections and contacts and planned an adventure that well-exceeded our expectations. We are already working with PJT to plan our next vacation.

Africa

Plane Jane Travel organized our trip to South Africa where we explored Capetown, the breathtaking landscapes of the Winelands and embarked on an amazing safari! Every step of the way we were greeted with warm hospitality and a phenomenal sense of adventure. Our guides were knowledgeable and very passionate about conservation. Each game drive was a great experience and learning moment and the animals were awe inspiring; especially the elusive African wild dogs! Every moment of our trip was filled with wonder, excitement, gourmet dining and exceptional service and all aspects of our trip were meticulously planned and created unforgettable experiences. We will definitely go back and have Jane plan our trip!!

Alaska

I can not say enough great things about Jane and PJT. Jane planned our Alaska trip with just a few weeks notice. This was not a lot of time to pull off everything she did for our group (and even squeezed my daughter in for part of the trip!) She was so patient with us and put together a trip of a lifetime that hit everyone's individual bucket-list items! Jane scheduled 15 days of the most beautiful sights and activities that had us in "awe" everyday! Every detail was worked out and she had even taken note that one of us had a birthday during the trip. We can't wait for Jane to work her magic on our next trip!

Japan

Plane Jane Travel has planned 4 exceptional trips for our family; each one with individualized itineraries to meet our diverse needs.  Jane's knowledge and personalized approach allowed our family to dive deep into the Japanese culture and turn an intimidating journey into one filled with excitement and unique experiences. Her arrangements and insider tips on touristy hotspots made them enjoyable and seamless.  Perhaps, most impressive is her creative and imaginative planning which allowed us to get off the beaten path and experience Japan in a fun, intimate and less touristy manner. Whether you are new to traveling or a seasoned traveler, PJT can make your next trip the trip of a lifetime.

Australia/New Zealand

Jane planned our two-week family vacation to both New Zealand and Australia.  We knew this was a big ask to cover so much ground in just two weeks but Jane executed it perfectly!  Her attention to detail was incredible as she took the time to get to know our family and customize the perfect trip.  There were adventures suited to everyone’s likes and it truly was the trip of a lifetime. Anyone who travels frequently has experienced issues somewhere along the way and ours was no different on the second part of our trip to Port Douglas on the eastern coast of Australia. Unfortunately, a cyclone had struck the area causing devastating flooding.  We were still enjoying our trip in New Zealand and completely oblivious to the weather event when Jane reached out to us. She assured us not to worry as she worked furiously to adjust the itinerary and that is exactly what she did! Before we knew it; all the transportation, hotel and scheduled adventures were rebooked to the safer, nearby area of Cairns which we enjoyed immensely. That would not have been possible without Jane’s help and expertise.  The end result was the perfect family vacation that we will not forget. Thank you PJT!

United Kingdom

Jane did a fantastic job of making a longtime travel dream to the UK come true for my mom and me. She took the time to get to know us and discover our tastes, interests, travel preferences and the things we most wanted to see and do in London and Edinburgh. Her experience and enthusiasm for traveling in the UK ensured our trip was customized to us with a few happy surprises thrown in. She was as excited about our trip as we were and introduced us to experiences we may have missed otherwise. Having Jane plan the trip from start to finish took the pressure off us to do extensive research and helped us avoid missteps and stay within budget during our limited time in the UK. She had great practical advice for a pair who had never traveled alone together, and she kept it fun and doable. Kudos to Jane! I recommend her to anyone!
