About Me

Personalized Travel at Your Own Pace

I specialize in personalized travel designed around each traveler’s interests, priorities, and preferred pace. I plan custom U.S. and international vacations, from quick getaways to longer, multi-destination journeys, with a focus on creating a trip that feels personal rather than one-size-fits-all. I enjoy helping travelers find the right balance of must-see highlights, local experiences, beautiful surroundings, and time to explore and unwind. Whether you prefer to travel independently, incorporate guided experiences, or enjoy the convenience of a more structured tour, I can help find the approach that fits your travel style. My goal is to make travel planning feel easier and more organized, while helping you create a journey that reflects what matters most to you.

Our Dolomites Adventure
Reviewed By Donna - Pittsburgh | Traveled to Dolomites | Italy | Europe
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Jen and the care she put into helping us plan our day trip to the Dolomites! From the very beginning, she was so attentive and truly took the time to understand what we were looking for - she gave us several tour options, helped us choose the perfect one, and made the entire process so easy. What really stood out to me was how much she cared about the little details. She made sure our tickets were delivered to us, followed up to make sure we had everything we needed, and even checked in with us during our trip to make sure everything was going smoothly. Our day in the Dolomites was one of the highlights of our trip, and I’m so grateful for all the time and thought Jen put into making it such a special experience. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone planning a trip—you’ll feel like you’re in the best possible hands.
Jen Kintzel responded
"Thank you so much, Donna! It was such a pleasure helping you find and arrange the right Dolomites experience for your group. I’m so happy to hear that it became one of the highlights of your time in Italy! I loved being able to play a small part in making such a special trip with family and friends even more memorable. Thank you for trusting me with the details—and for your very kind words and recommendation. "

Jen is the absolute best!
Reviewed By LisaP - PA | Traveled to Montreal | Quebec | Canada
We recently used Jen to plan a trip to Montreal, and she was incredible throughout the entire process. In the early planning stages, she really took the time to listen to our accommodation preferences and what we wanted out of the trip. She put together a perfect, loose itinerary that guided our days without making us feel rushed. It is great working with Jen. She made the entire experience stress-free, and we definitely plan on using her for all our future vacations. Highly recommend!
Jen Kintzel responded
"Thank you so much for your kind words! It was truly a pleasure getting to know your travel style and helping you plan a Montreal getaway that reflected your travel style and felt relaxed and uniquely yours. I'm so glad the itinerary gave you the flexibility to explore at your own pace without feeling rushed. I sincerely appreciate your trust and am so excited to help you plan many more memorable adventures together. Thank you again for your recommendation!"

Awesome summer vacation
Reviewed By Melanie - Pittsburgh, PA | Traveled to Islamorada | Florida | USA
We had wanted to visit a new destination for our family vacation, we reached out to Jen, and we are so thrilled we did. Jen did an amazing job! From the beginning, Jen worked with us to understand the elements of our ideal vacation. She found activities and adventures that were suited to us. She created an itinerary that included a mix of fun and relaxation. She found the most perfect resort for us, in an ideal location. She went above and beyond to find restaurants near locations of our outings, but also met my dietary needs. Each place she recommended had a fabulous atmosphere and delicious food! Working with her took the stress out of planning, researching the area, and finding things to do. We would just go the travel itinerary app and check her recommendations. She included links to reserve activities prior to our departure, and even added “rainy day” suggestions just in case. Jen really thought of everything. She mailed us a copy of our itinerary and a personalized note of things to pack and remember before we left. It was such a nice touch. Jen is not only professional, but so kind. She was always available to answer questions or to make adjustments to our trip. She made us feel like we were her only clients! We are already working with her on planning our next vacation!! I whole heartedly recommend using Jen to create a stress-free, awesome vacation!

Palm Springs, CA - 2026
Reviewed By SP - Palm Springs, CA | Traveled to Palm Springs | California | USA
Yet again, I threw this plan at Jen and she just made it happen (and in our budget). She not only found us an adorable place, she went had a birthday message waiting at the door. This is my 3rd trip planned by Jen and her personal touch and care are evident. I would highly suggest taking the stress off your plate and let Find you Zen with Jen take over - she is amazing!
Jen Kintzel responded
"Thank you so much for your kind words! It truly means a lot that you trust me with your trips. I'm so glad you enjoyed the birthday surprise and your special getaway. Helping make travel easy, personal, and within budget is exactly why I love what I do. I can’t wait to plan the next adventure for you! "

Denver
Reviewed By SPFW - Denver | Traveled to Denver | Colorado | USA
Jennifer not only found us the cutest little place exactly where we needed to be to enjoy nature before going into the city to work - BUT - did this under our budget in under 4 days! She was amazing and informative. When leaving, we not only received our itinerary Jennifer gave us info on all the nature things that I loved! I really loved working with her.
Jen Kintzel responded
"Thank you for your kind words! I'm so happy you enjoyed your stay and that the location was convenient and you got to relax and enjoy nature while on your trip. I look forward to helping you plan another fun adventure in the future!"
