About
Philly-ish "Jawn", travel enthusiast and adventurous spirit, here to help you plan your next bucket list journey. Corporate Learning and Development professional who secretly digs mulling over the details to find hot vacation destinations and spots that in the words of the great choreographer and actress Debbie Allen, help you "relax, relate and release!
Travel style
My travel style is open-minded, adventurous, curious and relaxed! I prefer to vacation in a new place every time I get on a plane, but I have my "oldie but goodie" locations that I could visit again and again, too.
Travel to me means freedom, exploration and relaxation, which is what I will aim for when planning your vacation. My motto while away is "Don't nobody bring me no bad news!," as I'm on vacation for a good time, but not always for a long time. I love to exercise in the morning to tend to my wellness, and then "hit the streets" to do some kind of educational or food excursion that is native to where I'm visiting. I'm fascinated with learning about local history (black history in particular), trying favorite foods and pastimes and seeing where people live, work and play.
With that said, I am also totally down for a pool, beach, shopping or spa day and I like water, food and animal-related tours, I find. I'm a curious by nature person who is open to trying new things on vacation that are trendy, unique and special.
To top it off, I like to unwind at night, typically with a good meal at a local hot spot, a glass of wine (or two) and a good audiobook. My goal is to have a relaxing and memorable vacation, with lots of Instagram-worthy pictures to swoon over!
If you choose me as your travel advisor, I'll work hard to make sure your travel style is reflected throughout every aspect of your bespoke journey!

Janine 's reviews
Janine was an excellent travel advisor to work with when planning my Virgin Voyages vacation! I knew I wanted to cruise Virgin Voyages and I had a very specific timeline to vacation. Janine was able to get the best cabin deal for me and threw in a few perks as well! There were a few issues with Virgin Voyage’s Sailor Services; however, Janine resolved them quickly and seamlessly. She took all my preferences into account for ship check-in, cabin location and transportation arrangements. Janine removed the stress of self-planning a vacation, so that I could focus on other things in life! She communicated in a clear timely manner; including deadlines I needed to adhere to, to make my trip more enjoyable. I so appreciate Janine’s insight, travel expertise and services. I highly recommend Janine Dawson at Fora Travels when planning your next vacation or quick getaway! Thank you Janine!!

Working with Janine was an absolute pleasure! From start to finish, the booking process was seamless, professional, and handled with the utmost care. They went above and beyond to secure top-tier accommodations at The Ritz-Carlton for our client and his team, ensuring every detail was flawlessly executed. Their communication and dedication throughout the reservation process were outstanding, keeping me informed every step of the way. Their expertise and commitment to excellence made the entire experience stress-free and truly exceptional. If you're looking for a travel agent who delivers outstanding service and personalized attention, look no further! I highly recommend Well Traveled with Janine and can't wait to work together again.

Janine Dawson's service was top-notch! She is very organized and thorough and made it easy for me to review the options available for my price range. She did all the research, and made recommendations based on her assessment of the information, but left it completely up to me to decide. After making the selections, she took care of the rest of the details. She was outstanding in following up with reminders on actions I needed to take prior to travel, up to the day of my travel. She also arranged the transport to and from the hotel, and assisted in booking excursions. The hotel transport and check in process was seamless. This saved me so much time and made our travel much more efficient than doing it on our own. I will definitely be using her services again!
