Hey there! I'm Jessica Mottola, your go-to travel advisor for all your wanderlust needs! I'm here to help you explore the world and make unforgettable memories.  I've always been a traveler at heart. From a young age, I was fascinated by the world around me and the different cultures and traditions that make it so unique. As I grew older, my passion for travel only grew stronger, and I knew that I wanted to share my experiences with others. That's why I became a travel agent - to help others explore the world and create their own unforgettable adventures.  My primary travel niche is European fully independent travel. I absolutely love organizing itineraries for travelers who want to travel throughout Europe, but would like to have an extra hand in setting up their adventures. There's just something so magical about exploring the winding streets of ancient cities, sampling local cuisine, and immersing yourself in the rich culture and history of each destination. Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a solo adventure, I've got you covered.  In addition to European travel, I also love Theme Parks and family vacation planning.  I know that not everyone wants to spend their vacation strolling through museums and historical landmarks. Sometimes, you just want to let loose and have some fun! That's why I love planning trips to some of the world's most exciting theme parks. From roller coasters to water slides, there's something for everyone.When it comes to destinations, I'm an expert on Italy, New York City, Portugal, and Spain. These are some of my absolute favorite places to visit, and I know all the best spots to eat, drink, and explore. Whether you're looking to sample some of the world's best wine in the rolling hills of Tuscany or catch a Broadway show in the heart of New York City, I can help make it happen.  I am certified in Viking River Cruises, Globus and Cosmos, Tauck, Sandals and Beaches Resorts and Universal Studios Orlando Resorts. I've got plenty of personal experience and insider knowledge to share with you. I've traveled all over the world, and I'm constantly learning and exploring new destinations. I'm always on the lookout for the latest travel trends and hotspots, so you can be sure that I'll have plenty of exciting ideas for your next trip.  When it comes to travel suppliers, I specialize in Avanti Destinations, Barceló Hotel Group, Delta Vacations, and Europe Express. These are some of the most trusted and reliable travel companies in the industry, and I've had great experiences working with them. Whether you're looking for a luxurious hotel stay or an all-inclusive vacation package, I can help you find the perfect fit.  So, what are you waiting for? Let's start planning your next adventure today! Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a solo adventure, I'm here to help make your dreams a reality. Let's explore the world together!

Trip of a Lifetime

I am so grateful to be part of planning a recent family trip to Brazil for one of my client's who posted this message on Facebook upon returning from their trip: “Our family of five experienced the true trip of a lifetime in Brazil, and it was all thanks to Jessica and Nel Blu Travel. From the unforgettable Juma Lodge deep in the Amazon Rainforest, to the breathtaking Iguazú Falls on both the Brazilian and Argentine sides, and ending with an incredible New Year’s celebration in Copacabana, every detail was perfectly planned. The entire journey was seamless, stress-free, and absolutely unforgettable. We couldn’t have imagined a better experience!”

Jessica did a great job of personalizing our trip to Italy. When it came time to book hotels & flights, she invested a lot of time in finding what fit our likes & budget. Jessica is very knowledgeable & passionate about traveling. Having her to assist was very helpful, she even checked on us while we were in Italy! I highly recommend contacting Jessica & using her services!!

Punta Cana Honeymooniversary.
Reviewed By John - Northport, NY | Traveled to Punta Cana | Dominican Republic | Caribbean
Jess helped us plan and book our trip to Secrets Royal Beach Punta Cana, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about her. From the very first message to the moment we got home, she made the entire process effortless. She took care of every detail — flights, resort transfers, special requests — and made sure we got the best possible deal. The resort was incredible, exactly what we were looking for, and it was clear she truly listened to what we wanted. She checked in before and during the trip to make sure everything went smoothly, which gave us total peace of mind. You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and loves what she does. If you’re planning a trip — especially something all-inclusive or out of the country — don’t even think twice. Work with Jessica. She’ll make it stress-free, personalized, and unforgettable. Thank you again for helping us make such amazing memories! ??????
