Meet Jade Garlick the heart and vision behind Roast & Roam. With over a decade in the travel industry and a passport stamped with more than 50 countries, Jade’s career has been shaped by a deep passion for exploration, connection, and creating unforgettable experiences.
Her journey began with a life changing European adventure that saw her defer a Bachelor of Policing to follow her true calling, travel. In 2013, Jade joined Flight Centre Travel Group, where she quickly rose through the ranks, opening new stores and stepping into leadership roles before moving into the world of high-end, tailor-made travel with Travel Associates. It was here that her love for luxury travel and personalised service truly came to life.
In 2024, Jade launched Roast & Roam a boutique travel business built on the belief that planning your next escape should feel as enjoyable as the trip itself. Blending expert knowledge with a warm, down-to-earth approach, she creates bespoke journeys that are seamless, elevated, and deeply personal. Whether it’s a luxury escape to Bali, a once-in-a-lifetime African safari, or a carefully curated European itinerary, Jade ensures every detail is thoughtfully designed.
But for Jade, travel is about more than just destinations it’s about how you feel along the way. Her clients value her honesty, attention to detail, and the peace of mind that comes from having a trusted expert in their corner. From the first idea to the moment you return home, she is there anticipating needs, adding special touches, and turning moments into memories.
Roast & Roam isn’t just another travel agency that is about booking trips it’s about creating travel experiences that feel effortless, exciting, and completely personalised to you.
With a genuine love for travel and a real attention to detail, I’m here to take the stress out of planning and make the entire process seamless from start to finish. Whether it’s a luxury escape, a bucket list adventure, or something in between, everything is thoughtfully curated to suit your style, your pace, and what you actually want from your trip.
At the end of the day, it’s simple, I want you to come home with incredible memories, amazing stories, and already thinking about where to next.
