About
Hey y’all! I’m Sarah Jane, a native Austinite that grew up in the beautiful hill country of Central Texas. From a young age I gained an appreciation for adventure, nature, wildlife, and eco sustainability. Travel and culture have always been a passion of mine, which led me to get a BA in International Business from Texas State University. A love for water and ocean life (especially sharks!) led me to getting my NAUI scuba diving certification.
Travel style
I am always researching and visiting amazing destinations across the world in order to provide the best travel experiences for my clients; whether it be scuba diving in Belize, whitewater rafting and waterfall hiking with indigenous communities in Costa Rica, visiting a remote private island in Panama, exploring the historical city of New Orleans, site seeing in Prague, a relaxing weekend on the beach in Jamaica, or a romantic trip to the coast of Italy.
Looking forward to helping you and yours plan anything from family/personal travel, business/corporate trips, and special events including: honeymoons, babymoons, birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, bachelor/bachelorettes, large group, or any other travel experiences you can think of. Join my email list and please reach out to me for all your travel needs!

Sarah Jane's reviews
This is my first experience with planning a trip like this and my first experience using a travel agent. I am so grateful we reached out to SJ as she planned the perfect trip for us! I felt in competent hands and trusted her perspective for which experiences to book. I also felt like she put our preferences above all else, meaning I never felt influenced towards anyone else's agenda for us. When we were getting close to the trip, she confirmed our plans, made last minute adjustments and persisted in contacting the pre-arrival concierge when there was a breakdown in communication from them. I would have been starting out stressed without her. Instead, I started and stayed relaxed through our entire adventure! We can't wait to book more with SJ and Fora in the future.

SJ has been incredible to work with! We provided some basics about what we like to do, past hotels we have enjoyed and our budget, and she took it away! SJ found the perfect stay for us and took care of all booking and itinerary needs. We had no issues or concerns and our stay was absolutely perfect. We are so grateful to have found a trusted travel advisor in SJ and will be planning all future trips with her and Fora! 5 stars all around!!

Our booking experience was extremely easy and convenient! SJ took great care of us and handled all communication with the resort. She even checked in with us in the days leading up to our trip to ensure our needs hadn’t changed and to provide one last layer of support. Highly recommend!
