About Me

Beautiful town of Eze in the French Riviera
Beautiful town of Eze in the French Riviera

I've had a passion for travel for over 30 years! I've traveled to all 50 states and over 30 countries. I focus on creating custom itineraries for just for your interests and needs. Working with me will save you the headache of researching and planning your trip, and provide you with insider information to make it special. Whether it’s your first time out of the country or your tenth, I’m here to make the planning process effortless and exciting - so all you have to do is pack your bags and get ready for your adventure. 

Europe by land or water

I’ve always been drawn to the charm, history, and diversity of Europe. Whether it’s sailing through the Greek Isles, cruising down the Danube River, or discovering hidden gems in Italy or France, I love helping my clients experience Europe in ways that are immersive, relaxing, and unforgettable. With years of experience planning custom itineraries, I take care of every detail - from choosing the right cruise line and cabin to arranging hotel stays, finding the best excursions, and insider experiences you won’t find in a guidebook. My goal is to make travel seamless and exciting, so all you have to do is enjoy the journey. Whether you’re dreaming of your first cruise or planning your next European adventure, I’d love to help you create a trip that’s perfectly tailored to you.

Cruising oceans and rivers

I specialize in matching travelers with the right cruise experience, from ocean voyages to intimate river cruises. Whether you’re dreaming of the Caribbean, Alaska, the Mediterranean, or something more off-the-beaten-path, I’ll help you find the perfect ship, itinerary, and shore excursions that fit your travel style and budget. I work with the world’s top cruise lines and stay up to date on the latest ships, routes, and perks, so my clients always get the best value and experience possible. From pre-cruise planning to onboard tips and post-cruise extensions, I’m with you every step of the way. If you’re ready to plan your next cruise adventure, I’d love to help you chart the course.

Off the beaten path

With a love for hidden gems, slow travel, and immersive cultural encounters, I help adventurous travelers discover places that most never knew existed. From remote mountain villages to untouched coastal hideaways, I specialize in crafting personalized itineraries that bring you closer to the heart of a destination, away from the crowds. I have experience planning travel to Southeast Asia, South America and Central America. Whether you’re looking to hike through lesser-known national parks, dine with locals in a small-town market, or stay in eco-lodges tucked away in nature, I can help you trade in the tourist traps for the trail less traveled.

Amazing trip to Yellowstone and Grand Teton
Reviewed By Ashman - Florence, AL | Traveled to Yellowstone National Park | Wyoming | USA
Jennifer planned a trip to Yellowstone and Grand Teton for me and my brother. We had to change our plans due to forest fires and she was able to quickly get us rebooked and on track. She gave us recommendations for hikes, booked a private fly fishing tour and was so helpful with all of the little details.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Asheville girls trip
Reviewed By Lisa - Suwanee, GA | Traveled to Asheville | North Carolina | USA
I had such a great experience with Jennifer! She made planning my trip so much easier than if I had tried to do it on my own. She took care of the details I wouldn’t have thought about. Everything from accommodation to restaurant recommendations to daily activities. She kept all of our requirements in mind helping us to explore Asheville. Everything went smoothly, and I felt really taken care of. Exceeded my expectations and I’ll definitely use Jennifer again for my next trip.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

My Travel Stories

Ronda bridge, Andalusia Spain

A journey through Spain's White Hill Towns

The first time I saw Zahara de la Sierra, it shimmered like a dream — a white cluster of houses clinging to a mountainside, crowned by a Moorish tower and wrapped in olive groves that stretched like waves into the horizon. Our car had just rounded a bend in the Sierra de Grazalema, and there it was — startlingly white under the midday sun, like ...
