Nice to Meet You
Jane Braun
Owner & Travel Advisor
My passion for travel took root at a young age, when my parents owned an inn in Vermont, hosting travelers from around the world. I was as captivated by stories of their homeland and travels as they were about mine. Later, this passion deepened when I moved to a village outside of London with my husband and two young daughters.
Some of my favorite experiences while living abroad were cycling through the English countryside, cruising up the Nile and gazing at the Dolomites through the window of a train. From these experiences, I came to see that travel isn’t just about a place, it’s also about people and finding ways to connect with them. To me and my family, this combination is the ‘secret sauce’ to an exceptional travel experience.
My passion for travel, love of learning and entrepreneurial spirit, combined with my 20+ years of business experience, led me to pursue my dream. I turned that dream into reality when I launched Saddle Hill Travel and never looked back.
