Say hello to our Just You Brand Ambassador, Janet Ellis. Broadcaster, author and actress, Janet joins us to explore the world of Just You as a solo traveller.
No stranger to travelling for both work and leisure, we’re delighted to have Janet on board to see the world through a solo travel lens having lost her husband John in 2020.

"We didn’t allow ourselves much downtime, but one of the reasons I think this short break worked so well was because our hotel, the Marriott Marquis, was perfectly located right in the middle of Times Square. It was wonderful to be in the thick of the atmosphere of flashing billboards and being so close to Broadway too, made it much easier to go out in the evening for a little entertainment."
Although having visited NYC for work in the past, this was Janet’s inaugural visit as a leisure traveller... Click here to read more.
