Jillian McNeilly
Denver, Colorado
Jillian McNeilly specializes in designing memorable and meaningful family adventures for her travelers. Jillian came to the travel industry after years of exploring the world with her four children and husband and, as a result, her approach to planning is driven by what her clients will experience on the ground. This means destinations that inspire the imagination, hotels that feel like a beautiful hug, guides who end the trip as friends, and logistics management that allows even the youngest travelers (and their families!) to enjoy their travels.
Jillian thoughtfully creates custom itineraries with her clients' preferences and priorities in mind, whether they simply need a perfect-fit resort recommendation or are looking for a knowledgeably crafted, deep-dive journey into the final days of WWII. While her planning for clients covers everything from beach vacations, villas and yacht charters, European city breaks and multi-stop trips across Asia, her passions are safari and adventure travel. She also may be secretly known by some clients as the "family-whisperer" adept at facilitating the planning of complex multigenerational travel with all the fun and no drama. Jillian is delighted and thankful to be part of shaping her clients' most special moments, which become lifelong memories.

Jillian grew up in Jacksonville, Florida and spent her childhood exploring the United States with her National Park Ranger parents. After graduating from the University of Florida, she taught world cultures at a Houston middle school, an experience that foreshadowed a future career change. Jillian also has an MBA from Rice University. In 2015, Jillian moved to Abu Dhabi where she lived for 8 years, loving the expatriate life and traveling extensively with her husband and kids. As a family, they road-tripped through Provence, experienced safaris in Kenya and South Africa, splashed on the beaches of the Seychelles, and explored the wadis and deserts throughout the Middle East. Jillian now lives in Denver and uses her deep knowledge of luxury travel to help her clients create their own beautiful and awe-inspiring memories.
