The Designer

Jane Borman

Discovering the world is a gift, and it is this gift that I most love sharing with my clients. I want to inspire people to think differently about the way they travel. My goal is to inspire my clients to discover more about themselves as they experience the world. This internal discovery is often the best part of travel, even as the destinations deliver beauty, surprise, and delight.

Travel is my passion. Like my clients, I love to discover new traditions and explore old cultures. I am fascinated by the international experience, and I’m a sponge for knowledge. I have been blessed to have traveled extensively, domestically and abroad, to more than 90 countries including all 7 continents. I have seen the Best of the Best, and I love to sell what I know!

I began my career in 1994 when the World Cup came to the United States. I was a travel director for Maritz, the leader in incentive award travel. At Maritz, I planned, negotiated, executed, and managed incentive awards travel programs and meetings for Fortune 500 companies. For 13 years, I traveled 260+ days a year managing incentive trips around the world. In 2006, I became an independent travel advisor. I continued my pursuit of world discovery and now travel internationally about 5 or more times per year.

Highlights: 6 Olympic Games (Atlanta, Salt Lake, Beijing, Vancouver, London, Sochi) 3 FIFA World Cups (USA, South Africa, Brazil) Antarctica, Hiked Andes Mountains to Machu Picchu, Climbed Kilimanjaro, 5 African Safaris (South African, Botswana, Tanzania, Kenya). Traveled all over Europe: Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Greece, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Slovenia, Romania, Russia. Middle East: United Arab Emirates, Oman, Egypt, Morocco. Central/South America: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Easter Island, Peru, Belize, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, most islands in the Caribbean, endless trip to Hawaii (50+), Asia & South Pacific, Fiji, Tahiti, Indonesia, China, Japan, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and more.

Beyond my passion for travel, I enjoy photography, languages, climbing mountains, yoga, nature, health and fitness . Born in North Dakota, I was a competitive athlete all throughout my childhood. In High School, I competed in gymnastics, track, and springboard diving. In college, I was also a member of the diving team at SMU (Southern Methodist University) in Dallas.

Jane’s Motto:

“LIVE YOUR DREAMS. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. TRAVEL THE WORLD. LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO STAY HOME.”
