I believe that travel is not just about where you go-it is about the memories you create and the stories you carry home. At Jackson Grantley Travel, every journey is designed with care, blending culture, connection and luxury touches so you can simply enjoy and make every trip unforgettable. As a luxury travel advisor based in The Woodlands, Texas, I design curated journeys that connect you to the world with ease and intention.
Crafting Luxury Travel for Life’s most Meaningingful Journeys
Expertly crafted journeys, designed just for you.
Before founding Jackson Grantley Travel, I was an Occupational Therapist specializing in cancer care.
During that time, I saw just how important family and travel were to my patients. Travel wasn’t just a vacation — it was a source of strength and connection during some of life’s toughest moments.
Meet The Founder
Amy Bottorff Founder and Lead Travel Designer
Travel isn’t just about the destination — it’s about the moments that stay with you long after you return.
Those experiences changed me. When I started my own family, I made a promise to prioritize adventure and create memories with my kids, knowing those moments would stay with us forever. That passion is what drives Jackson Grantley Travel. I’m here to help you carve out time for those trips that truly matter, so you can build your own stories, make lasting connections, and bring a little more joy and discovery into your life.
Today, I help travelers across the U.S. design luxury Europe vacations, bespoke African safaris, and once-in-a-lifetime adventures that feel effortless from start to finish.
Those experiences changed me.

FAQs
What are the benefits of working with Jackson Grantley Travel?
When booking your trip through me, you’ll benefit from the partnerships I have set up with more than 1,800 hotels and travel providers including Virtuoso Consortia, Four Season, Fairmont, Hyatt Prive and more.
That translates to meaningful benefits: complimentary upgrades, daily breakfast, resort and spa credits, and VIP recognition — all at the best available rates you’d find online.
But the real value goes beyond the perks. I invest time (and plenty of miles) visiting these properties myself, so I can offer you thoughtful, firsthand insight into your destination.
And because I maintain strong relationships with hotel management, you’re not just another reservation — you’re a guest they’re expecting.
Why do you charge a planning fee?
I spend countless hours planning and working closely with my trusted travel partners to make sure every detail of your trip is perfectly arranged. I'm also here for you while you’re traveling—even if that means being available during off-hours for international trips.
As your travel advocate, I recommend and build itineraries based solely on what fits your style and preferences, not on who offers the highest commission. This way, I stay completely unbiased while running a sustainable business.
Plus, I personally travel regularly to experience and vet the hotels, restaurants, drivers, and guides I recommend. If something doesn’t meet my high standards, it simply won’t be part of your trip. Your experience deserves nothing less.
I usually book my own travel and I like to plan. Why should I use an advisor?
I get that booking your own travel is totally an option, but I believe planning a trip should be a collaborative experience. Having a luxury travel designer customize your trip—whether it’s a quick getaway or a big adventure—makes all the difference.
I’ve built strong connections with trusted travel partners around the world to make sure your experience is not only high-quality and safe but also easy and enjoyable. Many of these partners only work through travel advisors, not directly with travelers.
When you work with me at Jackson Grantley Travel, you’ve got someone in your corner who can unlock access to exclusive experiences and special perks that you won’t find on your own. Plus, I save you time—whether you’re managing a busy workday or a busy household—so all you have to do is relax and review your custom proposal.
