The hotel isn’t always the best part of a winter trip.

For families and groups traveling together, a private mountain home gives everyone room to spread out—and still brings everyone back together around the fire at the end of the day.

Think ski-in, ski-out access, hot tubs under the stars, mountain views and a proper kitchen for slow mornings and post-slope dinners.

Add the right support—equipment rentals, ski instructors, housekeeping, childcare, restaurant reservations or a private chef—and it becomes a vacation rather than a group logistics exercise.

From Aspen and Park City to Breckenridge, Steamboat and Vail, there’s a winter home for nearly every version of a mountain escape.

Skiing optional. Staying somewhere fabulous is not.

“I’ve been to 45 countries, but this was hands-down the best trip I’ve ever been on.”

This East Asia itinerary was designed around a mix of interests that wouldn’t fit neatly into any standard tour.

In Tokyo, our clients stayed at a modern ryokan, explored the city with a private guide, made sushi with a local chef and spent an evening hopping between Shinjuku izakayas.

Kyoto brought a Michelin-starred kaiseki dinner, time in Gion, a maiko makeover and a memorable Wagyu experience.

Then the trip changed pace completely with a self-guided journey along the Shikoku pilgrimage route—walking between temples, staying in small inns and experiencing a quieter side of Japan.

They finished in Seoul with historic neighborhoods, street food, a private cultural tour and personalized K-beauty treatments.

Tokyo. Kyoto. Shikoku. Seoul. Food, fashion, hiking, culture and skincare—all brought together into one trip that felt completely their own.

This is what personal travel planning is supposed to look like.

There are plenty of ways to book a trip.

JLJ Travel exists for the people who want something more personal than a package, and less overwhelming than planning every detail themselves.

My role is to listen closely, ask the questions you may not know to ask and bring the pieces together in a way that makes sense for you.

The right hotels. The right pace. Experiences worth making time for. Logistics that work quietly in the background.

No standard itinerary. No planning around someone else’s idea of the perfect trip.

Just thoughtful travel, designed for the people actually taking it.

I’m Jillian, founder and lead travel designer at JLJ Travel. It’s lovely to have you here.

The 2027 La Dolce Vita Orient Express itineraries have arrived—and apparently traveling through Italy by luxury train wasn’t quite tempting enough already!

The new routes include Rome to Istanbul, journeys to Venice, food-focused trips through Italy and even a four-day golf itinerary.

This is travel for anyone who doesn’t want to rush from one destination to the next—or treat the time between them as something to get through.

Honestly, the hardest part may be choosing the route.

Quality travel design is about so much more than choosing hotels and booking transportation.

This message arrived from clients traveling through England, Wales and Scotland. There's nothing we love more than hearing the trip feels just as good in real life as it did on paper!

A few ways we can work together:

FULL-SERVICE TRAVEL DESIGN
For trips that deserve thoughtful planning from beginning to end. We work with local destination specialists to handle the research, itinerary design, hotels, transportation, experiences, reservations and the details connecting everything.

VIP PLANNING DAY
For travelers who enjoy making their own bookings but want expert guidance first. We spend a focused day creating the structure of your trip, including destinations, pacing, hotels and logistics.

TROPICAL GETAWAYS
For resort vacations where choosing the right property matters. We narrow down the options, compare the details that actually affect your stay and coordinate the booking.

VILLAS & PRIVATE ESCAPES
For families and groups who want a private place to spend time together—with enough space for everyone to settle in.

Not sure which service fits your trip? Send us a DM with what you’re considering, and we’ll point you in the right direction.

JLJ Travel is based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin but works with clients nationwide.

We've planned Paris for three very different sets of clients—and their trips looked nothing alike.

For a honeymoon couple, Paris meant a romantic hotel in the Marais, breakfast in bed, a sunset Seine cruise, dinner in Montmartre and an evening at the Moulin Rouge before continuing through Italy.

For a family traveling with two teenagers, it meant a spacious apartment, a Christmas dinner cruise, Champs-Élysées shopping, ice skating at the Grand Palais and a private day at Versailles before taking the Eurostar to London.

For an empty-nester couple, it meant a refined Left Bank hotel, a private Louvre tour, neighborhood cafés and time for art and history before continuing through Normandy and Ch*****ne.

Same city. Three completely different trips.

Because personal travel planning isn’t about finding the “perfect Paris itinerary.” It’s about understanding who is traveling and creating the version of Paris that fits them.

What would your Paris look like?

Japan and South Korea are on so many bucket lists, yet the sheer number of decisions can make the trip easy to put off.

Which places should we visit? How many nights should we spend in each? What should we do? How will we get around?

Here’s the thing: you don’t need to know any of those answers before the planning begins. In fact, there’s a more important question to ask first: What do you love?

Is it food—markets, Korean BBQ, cooking classes and fine dining?

Pop culture—Pokémon, anime, K-pop and interactive experiences?

Wellness and relaxation—Japan’s slow-down onsen culture and Korea’s K-beauty scene?

Outdoor adventure—the Nakasendo Trail and Japanese Alps, or Jeju Island and Korea’s national parks?

Your interests should drive any trip you take, but especially one with as many possibilities as Japan and South Korea. Start with what you love. We’ll build the trip from there.

Multi-gen & multi-food allergies? No problem.

This family of 14 ranged from ages 2-76, and was traveling with multiple food allergies, which understandably added another layer of concern.

We worked with our destination team to ensure everyone was well cared for, so this family could focus on enjoying Costa Rica together.

You have better things to be doing than stressing over your next destination family reunion - leave the details to us!

A w**e trip should be about more than moving from one tasting room to the next.

For the October issue of Brookfield City Lifestyle, I shared how to plan a w**e-focused trip that leaves room for the full experience: the food, the scenery, the people behind the w**e, and of course, a long lunch or two.

You'll also find a few personal favorites sprinkled throughout.

Thank you Jessica Opat for inviting me to contribute!
