We are two women whose lives have truly represented the notion that life is a journey…there’s been many destinations, high peaks and low valleys, as many days on rough seas as we’ve had smooth sailing, fun winding roads and serene byways, and everything else in between. And while we’ve lived very different lives, far apart from each other, the one common thread that has existed throughout our friendship has been our passion for travel and how our travel experiences have shaped our lives.
The sense of enrichment we’ve each gained by traveling the world, experiencing different cultures through authentic interactions and participating in local traditions has been fascinating and has offered the gift of happiness and enlightenment that cannot be bought.
We feel travel presents a perfect opportunity to pursue one’s passion for freedom and choice, to indulge one’s sense of curiosity, and to satisfy one’s need for personal fulfillment. It is what makes the high peaks of life high and the fun windy roads really fun, yet it offers perspective at every turn.
The rewards of travel are endless and it’s no surprise that it’s what has created our everlasting bond of friendship, but it is also what prompted us to create this travel business together. Having had long careers in travel and marketing and been fortunate enough to partake in the transformative experiences it has afforded us, we felt it is time to bring our brand of experience forth so we could instill a similar sense of wonder and enlightenment that we have attained through our travels.
In a world where digitality has taken over our lives, we want to bring people together, face to face, with expertly curated travel experiences infused with fun and personality. Experiences that will create a sense of inclusion knowing fellow travelers are at similar stages in life, in small groups that promote friendly engagement where lasting friendships and wonderful memories can be made. Experiences that are once-in-a-life’s journey and brings forth feelings of extreme happiness and fulfillment like the kind we have had the fortune to experience.
Life IS a journey. Traveling is not just about the destination, it’s about the experience and the people it is shared with.
Come along with us…We’re cruisin’ with the top down!
You know when life has a way of getting in the way of your plans and you find yourself in a situation that hinders you from pursuing your passions and living life to the fullest?
Well, we recently found ourselves in that situation, along with many others around the world, and wow, what a frustrating experience. We’re sure you can relate! For two, highly active and social people, living a pandemic safe lifestyle and temporarily giving up all that was necessary was, of course, incredibly challenging; however, out of everything we had to give up, travel was the hardest.
In January, 2021 when border restrictions loosened, we took the opportunity to exact our revenge on the lockdown requirements. We are experts in the travel industry and knew we could figure out how to travel safely during this period, so we jumped on a plane to Costa Rica.
After having not traveled for a full year, the feelings of freedom and adventure were exhilarating! It was so sweet! We felt renewed, back into life and on top of the world.
Inspired by those feelings and with the desire to encourage others to seize the moment, through travel, to exact sweet revenge on the things that are holding them back from living their best life, we decided to rebrand our existing travel business into Revenge Travel.
Being a bit of a free-spirited nomad but living the life of a corporate executive and mother of two, Diane has always turned to travel and adventure as a way of renewing her soul. She is passionate about connecting with people that want to share their world with her and she delves headfirst into their culture (and sub-cultures) to experience life like a local. The idea of connecting with people through experiences hasn’t been reserved to just her personal life, it’s what she has done professionally for over 25 years. Having worked in many facets of the travel industry and primarily meetings, events and incentives, her life’s work has been focused on the singular purpose of bringing people together in environments that will create memorable experiences and long-lasting relationships.
As a leader in the industry, she is widely recognized for her ability to make things happen through igniting her extensive network across the globe along with leading teams that provide exceptional customer experiences.
Fun Fact: Diane is a lifelong fitness enthusiast. She has earned acclaim for her feats of stamina in unique events most people have never heard of, such as the ever-challenging NYC rush hour “gotta catch that train” obstacle course that runs from Times Square to Grand Central. In a uniform of 3” high heels, a dress and carrying a 20lb handbag, she must weave in and out of business people, sidestep tourists that stop dead directly in front of her, jump over garbage, and narrowly avoid getting hit by taxi cabs, and consistently beats the doors closing with a running time of just under 12 minutes every time…almost! If you are on a trip she’s guiding, hit her up for a workout, she promises you’ll never forget it. 😉
With an entrepreneurial spirit and a keen eye for a good marketing plan, Jacqueline took what she learned working in hotel marketing early on in her career and created her own hospitality marketing company. After a few years of great success and trying to remain true to her core belief that everything in life must have balance, she decided it was time to start nurturing her lifelong desire for world exploration. Intrigued by her fabulous journeys, her friends, also busy career professionals without the time or know-how to plan such exciting adventures, began accompanying her. With an infectious spirit, the travel group grew well beyond her close friends. Jacque was profoundly moved by how enriched her travel group’s lives had become through their travels. They showered her with rave reviews about how fun and transformative her trips were and she loved seeing resultant relationships blossom and took pride in being integral part to the process. So much so, it was the driving factor that it pushed her, in 2001, to start LynxxInt’l Unrivaled Travel (the parent company to Revenge Travel) a boutique travel company that caters to the needs of single travelers. Over the past 20 years, Jacqueline has explored almost 60 countries cultivating memories and lifelong friendships along the way. Her motto is work hard, play hard but it really should be work hard, travel far.
Fun Fact: Jacque has an affinity for a good workout, great wine and all things fashion – hair, makeup, clothing, perfume and dogs…She is the mother of 2 adorable pugs, Coco Chanel & Chole Belle. 😊
