Jo’s journey is as inspiring as the experiences she creates. Born in South Africa under the apartheid regime and relocating to Australia as a young girl, Jo’s early fascination with travel shaped her life and career. She launched her first travel incentive company in 1997, quickly establishing herself as a trusted expert in the travel industry.
Through global changes and personal and professional setbacks, Jo’s passion for travel and for helping others discover the world - never faded. Today, she brings her vision and expertise to The Luxe Travel Box, a fresh brand dedicated to luxury corporate wellness travel and medical tourism.
What sets Jo apart is her unique blend of experience. Her background spans decades in corporate travel management and a deep commitment to health and fitness. As a former gym and fitness studio owner, fitness competitor, Pilates instructor, and personal trainer, Jo understands firsthand the challenges busy professionals face in prioritising well-being while on the go.
