Jody Bear

Bear is used to seeing her clients go big: she's dedicated her career to creating one-of-a-kind itineraries for special life events, such as weddings and milestone birthdays. Recently, she's been booking hotel buyouts for family reunions at domestic resorts like Dunton Hot Springs, in Colorado, and organizing luxurious van-life road trips through the American Southwest.

She stays on the pulse of what's trending, knows all the insider addresses, and familiarizes herself with the newest and hottest restaurants. At the same time, this travel expert has a wide knowledge of the most reliable establishments, can secure tickets for hard-to-get events, or arrange private access to tours not offered to the general public. Bear has also noticed that travelers want even more out-of-the-park, "YOLO" trips. "My clients see these experiences as worthwhile investments, for them and their families, like never before," she says.

Testimonial

"I've known Jody since 1988. At the time Jodi was arranging all my business travel, and soon I asked if she could help my husband and me to plan our leisure trips. I've spent my career working with luxury brands, so my expectations are high. Jody has arranged trips to Thailand, China, India, Africa, South America, Caribbean, Mexico, Greece, Italy … each adventure has been spectacular. Probably our most impressive memory of Jody's talent and influence was when we were returning from safari in South Africa. The driver took us to the wrong airport, and so when we arrived there was no plane. Jody was able to contact the plane and had them divert the flight to pick us up. Wow!" - Paulette G.
