About Me

Market at Rialto Bridge in Venice, Italy
Market at Rialto Bridge in Venice, Italy

As a child, I wanted to go to all the places in our stack of National Geographic magazines. I loved the beautiful nature and exotic food photographs, and before long had a lengthy wish list. I’ve had the privilege to check many from my list and the majority are centered around culinary experiences.

Folks often say, "Do you really have to go to a Michelin star restaurant to get a great meal?" In my experience, no. When we have visitors to our hometown, I have a two places I like to share. One is a "meat and three" and the second is a fine dining French restaurant.

When planning meals, street food stops, cooking classes, and food tours with clients, I make sure to find out their likes/dislikes, dietary restrictions, atmosphere preferences and a comfortable price point.

Universal for the Win
Reviewed By Rem - Austin, TX | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
We had such a great experience working with Jenn. She turned around our trip details so fast and was responsive our entire trip if we had any questions. She even sent us tips to make the most of our trip. She was absolutely wonderful to work with and made planning our trip so much less stressful. We recommend working with her 100%!

Dream Vacation
Reviewed By LainiCherie - Cut Off, LA | Traveled to Cambodia ~ East and Southeast Asia
I've already recommended Jenn Nix to 2 coworkers. She was very detailed and communicated frequently. She was dedicated to insuring my family and myself had the best possible experience. She was always quick to respond to any questions.
Jenn Nix responded

Fascinating in Winter
Reviewed By Joy - Brimfield, MA | Traveled to Iceland ~ Europe
Jenn was professional, kind, and working together was a very pleasant experience. Jenn listened well, was most responsive to our many questions (!) and offered planning tools that were uncomplicated and easy to use. Jenn went out of her way during the planning process to communicate new information and new "tips." She also responded immediately to a question we had while we were traveling. The best "review" is that I have already recommended Jenn to our dearest friends who plan to travel to Scotland in 2024.
Jenn Nix responded
"Thank you, Joy. Truly the best compliment you can give is a referral and it is much appreciated. It was a pleasure to work with you and I am so glad to hear the service provided met your needs for this winter's Iceland vacation. "
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Lobster, puffins, and hiking...oh my!
Reviewed By Cindy - Birmingham, AL | Traveled to Maine ~ USA
Jenn was great from planning to during the trip! She was helpful and listened to our interest in the planning phase, as well as our budget. She was always very responsive when we had questions and that continued through the entire trip. Importantly for us, she was not pushy at all. She let us be as independent and involved as we wanted to be while taking of the things we asked her to. If you are planning a trip and want someone to work hard and well for you, definitely contact Jenn!
Jenn Nix responded
"Thanks so much for your kind words. I am glad to hear the Maine trip was a success and know your nephew appreciates his birthday gift!"

Excellent Communication!
Reviewed By Kyle - Birmingham, AL | Traveled to Spain ~ Europe
Jenn was excellent with communication and providing us the materials we needed to be prepared for our first international trip. There were a few items we needed related to COVID; she answered our questions promptly. At the same time, she also provided us restaurant and bar recommendations that were perfect for when we weren’t site seeing. One of the best trips of our lives, and we probably would have had a completely different experience without her. Thank you, Jenn!
Jenn Nix responded
"Thanks for the exceptional review, Kyle! International travel can be daunting and we are glad to provide the information sp you are prepared. We appreciate your business and are so happy you have these lifelong memories!"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Truffle Hunting Crew in Italian Black Pine Forest

Truffle Hunting in Tuscany

On this February day in Tuscany, we were fortunate to join veteran tartufai (truffle hunter) Beppe and 6-year-old Bibi, a sweet, curly haired Lagotto Romagnolo. We were searching for the seasonal bianchetto truffle that time of year. Beppe shared that an annual fee-based license is required to hunt each year and truffles are often found near oak...
