About Me

Joy Martinello

**Your Bucket List Trip Your Way**

This trip will be one of the most exciting things you've ever done. You need an expert with over 11 years' experience planning adventure travel. I'm "The Adventure Queen." My colleagues and I will make sure all of your logistics are perfect and we'll make sure the trip you select is just right for you.

I've worked with all small ships traveling the world today. I also have in-depth knowledge about hotels and exciting places to visit all over the world. If it's extreme adventure you're seeking, I know about the most outrageous adventure programs on offer, like snowshoeing at an Arctic outpost or searching out emperor penguins in the Ross Sea. If you're a luxury traveler, I'll direct you to my most exquisite finds like Ol Donyo in the Chyulu Hills, Kenya or the Nayara Hotel & Spa in Arenal, Costa Rica.

What sets me apart, in addition to my travel expertise, is that I truly care about my clients. My goal is to figure out what kind of special care you need and to give it to you as my way of bringing more heart and meaning into the world. I've planned trips to every corner of the earth and my colleagues and I are excited to plan an extraordinary adventure for you!
