About
Jonnie Byres, Your Certified Travel Advisor and Group Travel Specialist
Traveltied was born out of a strong desire to help travel seekers live an intentional fulfilling life. One that appreciates different cultures and how they have influenced us all. Often people become paralysed by the sheer magnitude of choices and decisions that must be made. We want to make your goals a reality with a partnership and service that keeps you coming back to us.
I live in Wake Forest, North Carolina with my husband, daughter, and two doodles who think every suitcase means they’re coming along. My passion has always been the story behind the destination, the history, the people, the journey that shaped a place into what it is today.
My perfect travel day? Exploring a castle and its gardens with other women who are as excited as I am to be there. Wandering through its grounds, imagining the lives lived with in the walls centuries ago.
I can’t wait to hear about yours!
Mission Statement
Travel has the power to connect us—to history, to culture, and to each other.
At Traveltied, we design European experiences that go deeper than surface tourism. Small groups. Historic properties. Authentic moments. The kind of travel that changes you.
You won’t remember every date or historical fact. But you’ll never forget standing in that medieval village with friends who were just as awestruck as you were.
That’s the connection we create.
Our Values
Community – Travel brings people together. We create experiences where friendships form naturally around shared passions—whether that’s literary travel for book clubs or adventure for women’s groups.
Authenticity – Real cultural immersion, not tourist performances. Historic stays, not chain hotels. Depth, not just destinations.
Personal Care – We get to know you—really know you—so every detail reflects your unique interests and dreams.
