For McCool Travel’s 157th travel interview, I am happy to present Jeannette Ceja of Jet Set with Jeannette. I met Jeannette at the New York Times Travel Show earlier this year, where she was traveling with Sarah Dandashy. Jeannette recently spent time in Romania and attended the Sustainable Conference at the United Nations as a Travel Innovator. Wow, all things I want to do. Read about Jeannette Ceja now because she will soon be a travel industry superstar.
