About Me

Wanna be Italiano Cooking Class, Florence!
Wanna be Italiano Cooking Class, Florence!

Travel has always been more than a passion—it’s a way of life.

I have been in the travel industry for over 25 years and have a wealth of knowledge to share with others. As an only child from Chicago, IL, I grew up exploring the world with my parents, sparking a lifelong love for discovery. As an adult, I’ve visited over 40 countries, from China and Taiwan to France, Italy, Ireland, Spain, Israel, and beyond.

Through experiences like sailing the Mediterranean and Scandinavian seas, climbing the Great Wall of China, and exploring the Holy Land, I’ve seen firsthand how travel can transform perspectives and ignite new passions. Now, my greatest joy is helping others find their inspiration through travel, guiding them toward destinations, cultures, and experiences that awaken curiosity and create lasting connections.

Whether you’re dreaming of European escapes, cultural immersions, or luxury adventures, I make travel effortless and meaningful. Let’s explore, discover, and create memories that transcend borders—and uncover the passions that make each journey unforgettable.

Amazing 10-year anniversary trip!
Reviewed By Smolls2286 - Wadena. MN | Traveled to Los Cabos | Baja California Sur | Mexico
Jackie was an amazing person to work with. From the time I first met her, until the last day of our trip, we felt that she was there for us in planning, and any accommodations we needed. She was very responsive by email, phone, and text. We even had a list minute change/request for one of our outings and she immediately responded and got it adjusted for us. Highly recommend!

Aloha AMAZING trip
Reviewed By Trina Houle - Minnesota | Traveled to Hawaii | USA
Jackie coordinated everything for our dream trip to Hawai'i. She empowered us as new travelers with all our options and gave us an overview of trip expectations within our budget. She coordinated amazing experiences like a pearl harbor tour, a snorkel dolphin cruise, and a luau. All we had to do was dream, make simple choices about what we wanted to do on our trip and where to stay, and pack our bags. What a breeze!

Sincere Appreciaition For A Fabulous Trip!
Reviewed By L J A - Minneapolis, MN | Traveled to Paris | France | Europe
I want to sincerely thank Jackie Awes for helping me, my mom, sister, and brother have an amazing trip in Paris and Amsterdam! I usually travel with my husband who manages all the details of our travel, but this time we turned over all the details to Jackie to investigate, recommend, and arrange. She listened to what we needed and wanted, and presented multiple options that incorporated all of our wish list and more! Through many conversations, she tweaked the list, perfected the schedule to give us a great itinerary, and worked with her partners in Europe to secure and confirm all the arrangements! We then had live Europe-based support in the event of any additional needs. Additionally, Jackie made sure that all our plans were coordinated with flights and hotel accommodations, and she booked inter-Europe train travel for us. She is available to do all travel arrangements -- travel, hotel, and excursions -- or work with existing plans. Thank you again, Jackie, for all your hard work, patience, and exceptional detail and attention to our trip! You made it a trip of a lifetime for my mom and us!

My Travel Stories

OUR TRAIN TRIP FROM ROME TO MILAN!

When I think of Italy, I naturally think of food and the generosity of the wonderful people there.  Every region has its own special flavor and culture and brings so much richness to everything they do.  We planned our trip based on train travel and experiencing travel the European way with less suitcases and easier maneuverability.  We boarded ...
