For too long, luxury travel has been measured by what we can meticulously plan - the perfect flight, the five-star stay, the curated schedule.
But here at J5, we've discovered that the most profound journeys aren’t found on a spreadsheet. They live in the unexpected detours, the spontaneous conversations, and the quiet moments that defy every expectation. It's in these transformative pauses that a trip becomes a story and a destination becomes a part of your soul. This is where we begin crafting travel that is less about where you go, and more about who you become.
(Did AI help me craft the above paragraph? Yes, of course, I can't write like that.)
BUT I am 100% a believer in the sentiment as are the whole team here. Travel has been transformative for me in many positive ways. Allow us to introduce you to transformative experiences the world over.

From Chicago to Los Angeles, this famous highway crosses 2,400 miles of the United States. When construction began in 1926, Route 66 connected a variety of roads into one, scenic route through the plains of the Midwest and deserts of the Southwest.
Following WWII, as more families were able to afford cars and leisure time, the highway - and the small towns along the way - flourished, creating the iconic neon vibes we know today. Route 66 became a symbol of freedom, adventure and the American dream
By 1984, massive interstates bypassed the scenic route, leaving the small towns behind. But, the mystique of the road has led to interest from mom-and-pop business owners, historians and travelers, bringing Route 66 protection as sections have been designated National Scenic Routes.
Whether you're looking for National Parks, incredible local food or neon kitsch, HERE is your guide to "get your kicks on Route 66."
