About

JayWay was founded in 2006 but our founder, Jay (John) Ternavan, already had been planning trips to Europe for friends and family for years before then. While living and working throughout Europe, Jay would craft and lead several trips-of-a-lifetime with his loved ones from the US every year. One of these trips was to provide the spark of inspiration for Jay to quit his day job and set up a new kind of travel company. Our trips provide the perfect balance of freedom and organization. On an impersonal group bus tour or cruise, every moment is strictly scheduled and you are at the mercy of the program. Planning a whole trip yourself can take days and leaves you alone to deal with the inevitable risks and disappointments, figuring things out as you go along. We offer something in the middle by working with you to craft your itinerary then taking care of all the planning and arrangements in advance while giving you the assistance, flexibility, and freedom to explore your passions.
