Hello,
I'm Jolie Freeman


I find true joy in travel, and in helping others discover the beauty of the world around them. Travel opens doors to personal growth, connection, and perspective. It builds confidence, brings history off the page, introduces new cultures, and strengthens relationships in powerful ways. The full value of travel is hard to measure, but I’ve seen firsthand how transformative it can be. I carry that understanding into everything I do as a travel advisor, helping others experience the world in meaningful, personal ways.


Before launching this business, I built a career in sales, business development, and management across several industries. Those years taught me the importance of strong partnerships, consistent follow-through, and cultivating lasting relationships, principles I continue to carry forward as the owner of Ticket To Explore Travel. 


My goal is simple: 

  • to offer thoughtfully selected tours and cruises that align with what you want to see and how you want to experience it, 
  • to make the arrangements for you so you can focus on enjoying the journey and not the logistics, and
  • when the trip ends, my hope is you can't wait to start planning the next one with me.


Thanks for reading! If you're dreaming about your next trip and don't know where to start, I'm ready to help.
