Jacqueline Holmes
Europe Concierge Travel Chick | Exquisite Luxury Travel Curator
Hi, I’m Jacqueline, and my passion is helping people experience the world in unforgettable ways. Travel isn’t something I do, it’s who I am.
Over the years I’ve learned that travel has no limit. In your 30’s and 40’s it becomes even more rewarding, offering deeper connections, richer experiences, and a greater appreciation for culture.
Europe holds a special place in my heart, but my adventures have taken me far beyond, on an African safari, a serene river cruise, and countless explorations across the U.S. and Canada. Whether savouring handmade pasta in Tuscany or wandering the cobblestone streets of Venice, I believe travel isn’t about checking off destinations but creating memories and discovering hidden gems.
THE BEAUTY OF TRAVEL BEYOND YOUR 20’S
Many see travel as a rite of passage in their 20’s, but I believe it gets better with time. In your 30’s, 40’s and beyond, you travel with intention, savouring a fine bottle of wine in Paris, swimming in the cenotes in Mexico, or indulging in an Italian cooking class. It’s about quality over quantity, immersing yourself in culture, history, and the nuances that make a place truly special.
My goal is to help you embrace this phase of travel, whether your planning a romantic getaway, a solo adventure, or a memorable family trip.
CRAFTING AUTHENTIC TRAVEL EXPERIENCES
For me, travel isn’t about selling generic packages, its about creating once in a lifetime experiances. From uncovering the perfect hidden bistro in Paris to a an epic family getaway on the sunny beaches of Jamaica to a scenic cruise through Europe, I specialize in personalized journeys that connect you with a destination’s heart and soul.
Food plays a big role in my travels, whether its fresh caught lobster rolls in PEI, exploring bustling food markets, or dining at family run trattorias. I love helping clients experiance culinary treasures.
LETS BRING YOUR DREAM TRIP TO LIFE
Planning travel can be overwhelming but that’s where I come in. With firsthand experiance, from exploring our own beautiful backyard to gallivanting through Italy eating pasta, I’ll craft an itinerary that feels authentic, seamless, and perfectly tailored to you.
If you’ve ever dreamt of strolling through Prague, watching the sunset on the Amalfi coast, or tasting the best gelato in Italy, I’m here to make it happen. Travel is an investment in lifelong memories, and the world is waiting. Let’s create a perfect journey, one you’ll cherish forever.

My love for travel has brought me to this new adventure in the travel industry.
