About Me
In a Nutshell… The Story Behind Glam Girls Lux Travels.
Jean Wethmar – Founder, Travel Designer & Curator of Glamorous Journeys.
A boutique travel atelier creating artfully curated journeys for women who love history, beauty, culture and connection
Welcome to the world of Glam Girls Lux Travels — where travel is not simply about where you go, but how a destination makes you feel.
Founded in 2013 by Jean Wethmar, Glam Girls Lux Travels creates beautifully curated small-group journeys for women who believe life is still waiting to be discovered.
These are not ordinary holidays. They are journeys through history, culture, architecture, cuisine, wellness and unforgettable human connections — from the faded grandeur of colonial hotels and Art Deco treasures, to royal palaces, hidden gardens, spice markets, silk routes and secret little boutiques known only to locals.
Jean is a storyteller, a traveller, and proudly describes herself as a “colonial romantic.”
Think:
Panama hats. Silver hip flasks. Art Deco lobbies. Colonial verandas. Champagne moments. Beautiful hotels with a story to tell. And the joy of discovering somewhere extraordinary with like-minded women.

The Art of Travel According to Jean
Jean’s signature style combines her love of:
Art Deco glamour
Colonial heritage
Boutique luxury hotels
Architecture and design
Local culture and craftsmanship
Wellness and renewal
Exceptional food and wine
Meaningful connections
She believes luxury is not simply about five-star hotels.
Luxury is time.
Luxury is discovery.
Luxury is feeling welcomed somewhere special.
Luxury is returning home with a heart full of stories.
Why Glam Girls Lux Travels?
Jean personally designs every itinerary with meticulous attention to detail, selecting boutique hotels, unique experiences and destinations that offer something beyond the ordinary.
Whether wandering through the royal palaces of India, exploring Morocco’s Art Deco cities, discovering colonial Sri Lanka, experiencing Japan’s timeless traditions, or uncovering hidden gems across Asia and Africa — every journey is created with Jean’s signature touch.
Her philosophy is simple:
Travel beautifully. Travel curiously. Travel with heart.
Because the greatest souvenirs are not things…
They are stories.
Write stories for life into your heart.
Jean’s Travel Philosophy
#havehatwilltravel
Jean believes age is not a limitation — it is an invitation.
An invitation to say yes.
An invitation to explore.
An invitation to create the next beautiful chapter.
Her favourite travel companion? Her Panama hat.
Her favourite destination? Without hesitation…India.
After more than 22 visits, India continues to enchant her — from the magnificent royal palaces of Rajasthan, the vibrant streets of Mumbai, the Portuguese influences of the southern coast, the spiritual beauty of the Himalayas, and the restorative traditions of Ayurveda. India is not simply a destination. India is a feeling.
Jean’s Inspiration
“Do not feel lonely, the entire universe is inside you.”
— Rumi
Mid-Life Wisdom from Jean
Never lose your sense of wonder.
The future is not something you wait for — it is something you create.
Believe you can.
Positivity has been my constant companion.
Age is just a number.
Life becomes even more exciting when you embrace possibility.
Travel Ready Tips
Before every adventure, Jean believes in preparing both body and mind:
Nourish yourself before travelling
Rest well before departure
Walk, move, stretch and stay active
Keep your curiosity alive
Because the best journeys begin long before you board the plane.
