About In The Mood for Life

GO WHERE YOU FEEL MOST ALIVE

I’m Janz Anton-Iago — travel filmmaker and founder of In the Mood for Life, a creative travel platform dedicated to curated journeys and meaningful experiences.

With a background in film and creative writing, I studied media and documentary in London, where I spent years working across the Hollywood and British film industries, before transitioning into creative and communications agencies. My time in London shaped my approach to storytelling — visual, emotional, and deeply human.

Eventually, I traded the city’s rush for the sunny shores of Lisbon, a move that inspired the birth of In the Mood for Life — a travel documentary series exploring the soul of places and the beauty of slow, intentional travel.

Now, in a twist of fate, I’ve become an official travel agent, proudly part of the Oasis Travel Network community. I curate bespoke travel itineraries and host river cruise and wine experiences across Europe and Portugal — blending my passion for storytelling, culture, and connection.

Through my videos and journeys, I hope to inspire others to travel not just to see the world, but to feel it — and to go where they most feel alive.

Why Travel With In the Mood for Life?

In the Mood for Life is built for travellers who want more than a standard itinerary. Each journey is shaped around culture, atmosphere, food, wine, storytelling, and the feeling of a place. Whether you are joining a hosted cruise, planning a private escape, or discovering destinations through our travel films, the goal is to help you experience travel in a more personal and memorable way.

We help with curated travel planning, hosted group journeys, river cruise experiences, destination inspiration, and creative travel content. Our approach combines travel advising with visual storytelling, helping travellers discover places with more context, care, and intention.

As an official travel advisor and affiliate of Oasis Travel Network, Janz brings together travel industry support, destination knowledge, and a filmmaker’s eye for detail. This allows In the Mood for Life to create journeys that feel considered, inspiring, and easy to connect with.
