ABOUT US
Alyson Sohigian - Host, Executive Producer
Aly started Jetaway Guru as a way to pursue her passion for traveling while helping friends and family plan their own vacations. Living in New York City for the past 10 years has inspired quite an interest in other cultures, people, and food. She personally has found traveling to be one of the most life-affirming things she can do for herself, and heads to new places every chance she gets, having visited over 40 countries to date! This extensive travel experience, along with her passion for food and background in design, has led her to developing custom travel itineraries as a full time career.

Jeff LARson
Jeff Larson - Director, Executive Producer
A Colorado native, Jeff has been shooting, directing, and producing documentaries and unscripted content for over ten years. He never feels more at home than when he’s out on the road with a camera in his hands. Whether he’s hanging out of a helicopter filming rescues as he’s done for The Weather Channel’s Coast Guard Alaska, getting behind the scenes at New York City’s most famous kitchens like with the James Beard-nominated web series Ozersky.TV, or capturing the filth and decay of down-and-out hotels as with Hotel Impossible, Jeff’s not afraid to jump into any adventure. He also loves a good time lapse and donuts.
"[W]omen account for a staggering two-thirds of all travelers, according to the George Washington University School of Business, and 54 percent of the most affluent travelers are women. You’d never know that from the travel media space, in which women-helmed television shows are depressingly hard to find."
"There is a whole consumer base with a massive budget that [they’re] not reaching because [they] do not have a woman."
PBS Travel Host
This Show changes all that
With Aly Sohigian as the host of this show, we have a strong female perspective on the finer points of travel. Her knowledge and wits serve her well as she creates the perfect trip for her clients. She travels to far-flung corners of the earth in order to know for herself how each place may fit their needs. And her partner and traveling companion, Brian, provides a male foil for her itineraries.
This show will appeal to anyone who loves to travel or even those who haven't traveled much yet. However, the demographics we aim to target with this series are the ever- popular millennial generation, women, and couples.
