Hi, I am Janet, founder of Bliss Trips etc, a boutique travel advisor specializing in custom Italy travel planning and thoughtfully curated trips for couples who want travel to feel effortless, personal, and deeply meaningful.
Travel has shaped my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up moving between the U.S. and Europe, experiencing destinations slowly and immersively — not rushed, not checklist-driven, but rooted in culture, curiosity, and connection. Those early experiences are the foundation of how I plan travel today.
At Bliss Trips etc, I work with travelers who are overwhelmed by too many options, burned out from researching, or simply tired of wondering if they’re making the right decisions. My role is to simplify the process, provide clarity, and design a trip that actually works in real life — not just on paper.
I specialize in:
Personalized Italy itineraries tailored to your pace and interests (ask me about my other European destination itineraries!)
Thoughtful, well-located accommodations
Experiences that go beyond tourist highlights
Clear, step-by-step planning that removes stress
Support before, during, and after your trip
I don’t believe in cookie-cutter tours, rushed schedules, or planning that looks good online but falls apart once you arrive. I believe in radical honesty — about timing, budget, logistics, and trade-offs — because realistic planning is what leads to truly unforgettable trips.
Luxury, to me, isn’t about price tags.
It’s peace of mind.
It’s knowing someone has thought through the details you didn’t even know to ask about.
It’s having a trusted travel advisor in your corner when hiccups happen — because they sometimes do.
I intentionally work with a limited number of clients so every itinerary is carefully curated, deeply personal, and never rushed. If you’re looking for the cheapest option or want to book everything yourself, I’m probably not the right fit. But if you value guidance, transparency, and a relationship-driven approach to travel planning, Bliss Trips etc may be exactly what you’ve been searching for.
Because the best trips don’t come from more research. They come from having the right advisor.
Janet
Bliss Trips etc isn’t the right fit for everyone — and that’s intentional.
If you enjoy researching for hours, comparing endless options, or booking everything yourself to save a few dollars, you’ll probably be happier planning on your own. I’m also not the best fit for travelers looking for quick quotes, last-minute trips without flexibility, or a purely transactional booking experience.
I work best with clients who value guidance, transparency, and thoughtful decision-making — and who want travel to feel calm, supported, and intentional from start to finish.
Bliss Trips etc is for travelers who want to feel guided, not overwhelmed.
I work best with couples who value thoughtful planning, clear communication, and realistic expectations — and who want their trip to feel meaningful, well-paced, and easy once they arrive. My clients appreciate having a trusted advisor who narrows options, explains trade-offs, and handles the details so they don’t have to.
If you want more than a booking — if you want a plan that makes sense, honest advice, and support before, during, and after your trip — we’ll be a great fit.
We will have a video consultation where I get to know you better, understand your wants & needs for this trip, and review my planning fee.
After my fee is paid, I get to work!
Then you review my proposal, I make any tweaks, and the deposit is applied.
Grab your bags & passport and enjoy your vacation...that's it!
