I’m a small-group host, luxury travel planner, cat lover, mom, historical-fiction enthusiast, and lifelong explorer who’s happiest with a passport in one hand and a strong cup of coffee in the other. What began as planning magical Disney trips for my family has grown into years of leading travelers through Morocco, Iceland, Europe, the Mediterranean, Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania, and beyond. I’m obsessed with helping women and empty-nesters experience the world in a way that feels smooth, meaningful, and completely unforgettable, whether that’s an African safari, a European river cruise, or a wellness retreat that feels like a reset for the soul. Warm, authentic connection is at the heart of everything I do, and if you join one of my journeys, consider yourself part of the Jasper Travel family.
I believe travel becomes life-changing when it’s curated with heart, intention, and a little bit of adventure.
I'm Rose Atherton.

There's no one I'd trust more than Rose to book my trips. I honestly didn't even look at the full itinerary until a month prior. She knew my dream of meeting the gentle giant mountain gorillas and made that dream come true, so anything beyond was just a bonus for me. From the immersive experiences with a Masai tribe or a meal with a local family, to the breathtaking views of the Masai Mara by land and hot air balloon, this trip was nothing short of awe inspiring and incredible. No detail was missed and Rose was never more than a text, phone call or ear shot away to help with whatever your heart desires. To say she works hard and loves her job, I feel is understated.
There's no one I'd trust more than Rose.

My trip on the Danube River Cruise with Rose and friends was amazing. We saw so many cities. We visited castles and historic venues. Rose took care of even the smallest details. Our accommodations were first class. Thank you for creating this warm inviting environment.

I took my first overseas trip with Rose Atherton’s travel group, Jasper Travel, and it was life-changing. The cruise through Italy, Greece, Spain, and France was perfectly planned, stress-free, and filled with amazing women, most of whom I’d never met but felt like lifelong friends by the end. Rose handled everything with care and ease, and I’ve since traveled to Morocco with her too. I’ll go wherever she’s going next! Highly recommend.

An African safari has long been on my bucket list, but I kept postponing it because I didn’t know where to begin. When an opening came up on Rose’s group trip, I jumped at the chance - without realizing it would exceed every expectation. I couldn’t have planned a better experience myself. From the pre-trip help with visas and other paperwork, to the comfortable accommodations (including unexpected upgrades), to the knowledgeable and experienced drivers/guides, Rose expertise - along with a cohesive, friendly group - made this an unforgettable journey. The wildlife encounters themselves, along with the breathtaking hot air balloon ride at sunrise were worth the trip. I’m already looking forward to Jasper Travel's next adventure.
