OUR PASSION FOR TRAVEL
Jane Elzinga - Owner & Founder, Solstice Travel
My journey as an enthusiastic traveler began in my youth, fueled by my parents who instilled in me a love for adventure. Drawing on this passion, I took a job as a travel advisor in 2018. Since then, I have spent years as a dedicated luxury travel advisor, curating unforgettable luxury journeys across the globe. This led to the starting of Solstice Travel in 2021.
What truly sets Solstice Travel apart is the incredible team we've built over the years. Our extensive experience in the travel industry has not only allowed us to explore and plan memorable trips but has also enabled me to assemble an amazing team at Solstice Travel.
Together, we are committed to ensuring that every aspect of your travel experience, from the moment you step into the airport until your return home, is flawlessly organized. We also believe not every trip is cookie-cutter, and love crafting unique getaways for our clients.
We understand that planning an extraordinary trip might be daunting, time-consuming, or simply not something you wish to tackle. That's where Solstice Travel comes in—to make the entire process seamless and enjoyable for you. Let's collaborate to create the perfect travel experience tailored to your desires!

Domestic Travel Advisor + Groups ExpertMy study abroad experience in Valencia, Spain, was a transformative moment. Immersing myself in a new culture, language, and cuisine sparked a lifelong love of travel.
As for domestic travel, I’m driven by a goal to visit all 50 states! While the pandemic presented challenges, it fueled my determination to explore the diverse landscapes and unique cultures of the United States.
From the bustling metropolis of New York to the charming streets of Kansas City, I'm always on the lookout for the finest local experiences.

Exotic Destination Travel Advisor + Unique Experience ExpertMy name is Britannie, and I’ve always been a dreamer. As a child, I’d lose myself in encyclopedias and movies, imagining myself exploring distant lands, savoring local cuisine, and immersing in diverse cultures. My first cross-country train journey ignited a lifelong passion for travel.
At 19, I ventured south to the ocean, captivated by the beauty of the coast and the warmth of different cultures. This experience inspired me to move to Key West and embark on a global adventure. Over the past 15 years, I’ve explored four continents and numerous Caribbean islands, with the United States still on my radar.
My greatest joy is sharing my love of travel with my son. Each year, we embark on a new adventure to a foreign country. I believe that travel is accessible to everyone, regardless of budget or lifestyle. As a luxury travel advisor, I specialize in crafting personalized itineraries that cater to your unique desires and preferences.

We appreciate your curiosity about the breakdown of costs and your interest in understanding the pricing details of your travel experience. At Solstice Travel, our team of travel advisors takes a collective approach to crafting comprehensive travel experiences rather than focusing solely on individual component prices.
Our holistic trip planning considers various elements such as accommodations, transportation, activities, and additional services to create a seamless itinerary tailored to your preferences. By bundling these components together, we leverage our industry relationships to secure the best overall value for your trip. This approach enables us to negotiate exclusive discounts, access special promotions, and provide a level of personalized service that goes beyond just quoting individual prices. It's important to note that, at times, our in-destination partners are contractually unable to release component pricing to us, ensuring the protection of negotiated rates and contracts.
We understand that this approach may be new for those who haven't worked with a travel advisor before. Rest assured, this is a standard practice within the industry. Our collective goal is to ensure you have a hassle-free and exceptional travel experience while optimizing your budget.
If you have specific cost-related concerns or budget constraints, our team is more than happy to collaborate with you and provide insights on how we can adjust the trip to meet your needs while considering overall pricing.
