I’ve got the World at my Fingertips-Ready to help you travel.

Jody Rose Franko

I am a passionate red-headed Leo who loves big, works hard, digs deep into projects and values kindness and integrity. I collect interests.  My first devotion was nature; playing outdoors at the beach and in the Blue Ridge mountains which led me to study horticulture at VA Tech and tissue culture in Israel.  Coming home the long way from Israel through Europe kicked off what has become decades of exploration in the States, Canada, Mexico, Asia, South America and the Caribbean. From the onset I realized that by challenging myself through delving into new experiences and cultures I found deeper connections with the greater realities and mysteries of our complex world and with myself.

Obsessively Organized

My professional career has centered on business and community development utilizing primarily my creative nature and organizational skills.  After years of being the de facto travel adviser for my friends, family and colleagues I made it official and joined Montrose Travel and became a bonafide travel agent.  Travel consulting combines my love of seeing the world with my compulsive organizational condition, otherwise known as organizational skills.

Experienced World Traveler

With my husband and children, family and friends I’ve shared many fine adventures! I am ready to help you plan your memory-making, perception expanding journeys that will influence you from beginning to forever.

I'm ready to help you travel well.
