About Jo Porter– Owner & Chief Tour Orchestrator
Music, performance, travel, and my home country, the UK, are my greatest passions. After several years as Head of Concert Tours for a bespoke tour operator, Jo founded Sound Escapes in 2019 and her career in specialist group travel now spans 25 years. Raised near the tourist meccas of Blackpool and the Lake District, Jo’s love for travel and tourism began early and she went on to complete a degree in French and Performing Arts. Performance has also been a lifelong passion, from playing piano and violin to singing in choirs, bands and theatre productions which Jo continues to do in her spare time.
