About Me

 Are you the kind of traveler who hears “Where is that?” and instantly thinks, I need to go?Y

Yeah… we’re going to get along just fine. I’ve always been drawn to the places that don’t make the front cover of glossy brochures—the ones that make people pause, tilt their head, and say, “wait, why there?”

  • Try camping under the stars in the Wadi Rum desert in Jordan.
  • Or standing inside the glowing Marble Caves of Chilean Patagonia.Or locking eyes with penguins in
  • Antarctica… and yes, even searching for polar bears in Svalbard.

I’ve trekked through Nepal, wandered the remote Marquesas Islands, stood in awe on Easter Island, and watched giant tortoises roam the Galápagos. These are the kinds of places where WiFi barely exists—but the stories? They stay with you forever.And here’s the funny part—most of these adventures, I’ve done solo. Not exactly by design… just turns out most people respond with, “Why would you want to go there?”

But if you get it—if you crave the remote, the rare, the wildly unforgettable—then you’re exactly who I love working with.So whether you’re looking for someone to map out your next epic journey… or you just want a guide who truly understands your kind of travel…

Let’s plan something that makes people ask, “Where is that?”

The trip of a lifetime
Reviewed By dferg17 - Williamsville, NY | Traveled to Krueger National Park | South Africa | Africa
I just returned from the AMA Waterways excursion "Stars of South Africa" which I booked through Jo Ann Simpson. This was an amazing trip with every adventure being a "trip of a lifetime"! We visited South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Zambia. Our excursions included Chobe National Park, Victoria Falls, Cape Town, Johannesburg, and Kruger National Park. Such an amazing experience. I highly recommend this trip and Jo Ann's expertise makes your trip worry free.

    Go, Go with Jogotravel
    I’ve been working with Jogotravel for about 2 years now and it has been a great experience. I’ve only worked with Jo Ann, but she has been fantastic! She keeps a lookout for travel experiences that may be of interest to me and sends periodic information. When I’ve booked a trip with her she takes care of everything; no worries for me! She recently cancelled a trip for me and re-booked because she saw that I could reap a significant savings; that’s my kind is travel agent!
