ELJO Travel has over 40 years of travel industry experience, focusing on customized group tour travel with a focus on baseball, garden, culture and history tours. ELJO Travel was started in 2012 by Jodie Baacke, a Certified Travel Consultant, to offer baseball, Ireland and Garden enthusiasts the opportunity to travel in small harmonious groups that will share fun adventures viewing gardens, historic sites and/or cultural activities across the USA and abroad. Prior to opening ELJO Travel, Jodie was President at a very successful travel agency with multiple locations. She has chosen to step back from that rat race and do what she really loves ~ planning customized travel for people with similar interests. A former Door County native and college art major, Jodie has been in the travel business since the early 80’s. As an Independent Travel Agency, she can focus on what she is passionate about ~ serving customers by helping them meet their desired travel goals. As an Ireland destination specialist and custom group travel specialist, her main focus is on trips of a lifetime, baseball tours, Garden & Cultural tours and fulfilling her customers travel dreams.
“I create and deliver tailor-made programs for travelers with a common interest – whether social, cultural, religious or demographic. I take great pleasure in researching travel destinations about which I am passionate and want others to share in the travel experience. Continuing the hunt, by networking with reputable destination companies and creating the masterpiece of a true travel journey. I love putting all the pieces together to form a well-balanced itinerary that gives you the most for your time…without overload. I am pleased that my repeat clients tell me that my travel itineraries are, “Just right!”
