"A holiday with The Loaded Trunk is a bucket list must do!"
"Spending six full days in Oaxaca, Mexico, Jonna curated outings that met every desire. The trip was a mash-up of culture, food, artisans and shopping! Visiting local artisans and learning the history of their crafts was a genuinely unique experience. Weavers, candle makers and chefs shared their stories and generational traditions with us. But perhaps the highlight of the visit was the cooking class with Alfonso and his parents. Now I can prepare the wonderful food of Oaxaca in my own home! Her connections with local guides and drivers added to our fully immersive adventure. Where to next, Jonna?"

"This wasn’t just a trip, it was a meaningful cultural exchange, curated with heart."
"Jonna led an unforgettable journey through Oaxaca, Mexico… one rich in history, culture, and flavor. From day one, she immersed us in the vibrant spirit of the region, introducing us to passionate local artisans who welcomed us into their world. We learned the art of weaving, candlestick making, traditional market shopping, and of course, savored the diverse and delicious Oaxacan cuisine. Each person we met had an inspiring story to tell, and it was clear that Jonna had built deep, genuine connections in the community. This wasn’t just a trip, it was a meaningful cultural exchange, curated with heart."
