About Me

Hoi An, Vietnam
Hoi An, Vietnam

With over two decades of expertise in the travel industry, my journey began as a Government Travel Agent for the Department of Defense and Department of Energy. My role later transitioned to the corporate side, where I successfully catered to the business travel needs of General Electric employees. Among my highlights in this role, I had the incredible opportunity to work on NBC News Network's Sydney Olympic Games Travel needs, where I organized seamless travel arrangements for the event. Additionally, I played a crucial role in booking travel for esteemed personalities such as the Today Show anchors and guests, as well as managing travel logistics for the Conan O'Brien Show.

In the early 2000s, I discovered my true passion for leisure travel and decided to delve into that realm. My experience also extends to the hotel industry, where I worked in the Reservations Management and the Revenue Management side of the industry. However, it's my personal love for exploring new destinations, particularly in Europe, that sets me apart.

My fascination with international travel sparked at the age of 19 when I embarked on my first European adventure. Since then, I have traversed Western Europe and the UK extensively, enriching my understanding of these captivating regions. Notably, I spent a semester living in the vibrant city of Dublin, Ireland.

Venturing beyond Europe, I have also traveled to Australia and indulged in the beauty of several Caribbean Islands and most recently the Canary Islands!

As a family-oriented travel agent, I have meticulously organized numerous European trips for my own family, showcasing my expertise in crafting memorable experiences for travelers of all ages. Having experienced the joys and challenges of traveling with children firsthand, I can adeptly tailor itineraries to cater to families' unique needs and preferences.

Furthermore, I understand the enchantment of Walt Disney World vacations, having visited Walt Disney World multiple times and staying at various resort levels throughout my families multiple visits. We even embarked on a magical trip to Disneyland Paris in 2014 and hope to visit every Disney Theme Park in our journeys around the world. 

With myself and L+S Travel, your wanderlust will be met with unparalleled expertise, personal touch, and a commitment to crafting exceptional travel experiences.

First time clients, exceptional experience
Reviewed By Tina - Pittsburgh, PA | Traveled to Norway | Europe
This was our first experience using a travel agent, and Jen provided exceptional service before, during, and after our trip. She was patient with our many questions and the complexities of our itinerary, which included several plans we had arranged on our own. We were impressed by her professionalism, attention to detail, and the helpful materials she provided, which made communication seamless as we finalized plans and prepared for our travels. During the trip, we encountered a small issue that was outside of Jen's control. She handled the situation promptly, professionally, and efficiently, ensuring it was resolved with minimal disruption to our travel experience. We would absolutely work with Jen again for future trips. She saved us considerable time and reduced the stress of planning, allowing us to focus on enjoying our vacation. Her expertise and support made a meaningful difference throughout the entire process. Jen's expertise, responsiveness, and professionalism made our trip planning significantly easier. We highly recommend her services and look forward to working with her again.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

An Adventure We Will Never Forget
Reviewed By PDriftmier - PA | Traveled to United Kingdom | Europe
We began to plan our trip with Jen over a year ago. She met with us and took the time to listen and understand who we are. She then came back to us with a plan that further developed as our conversations continued. Jen considered what we wanted to accomplish and took that information to develop a plan that far surpassed our expectations. She guided us in our decisions that resulted in a plan we were so excited about. Knowing us, she then identified options for how to implement the trip and the three of us ultimately decided that one on-site provider with guardian angels in each country is the perfect option for us. Jen’s plan far surpassed our expectations! We felt special and cared for. The hotels selected by Jen were luxurious and unique with very attentive staff. They were special with character representing their locale. The tours were private and unique. Drivers and guides were and personable. The restaurants recommended were outstanding. Every detail was managed by Jen. And she checked on us during our travels. Because of Jen and her team we were able to enjoy every moment knowing they were managing all the details. We look forward to working with Jen in the future. Our trip took us to France, England, Scotland.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
