About Me

Zodiac cruising in East Greenland National Park
Zodiac cruising in East Greenland National Park

I began my career in travel at the age of 11 when my family moved from Texas to Virginia. I didn’t know then that I was starting a career; only that I was completely in love with going new places and seeing new things. My family vacationed a lot. It started out with trips in the U.S and grew into trips to Europe. Everywhere we went, we met amazing people and ate incredible food. I was hooked!

After marrying my husband, he quickly realized we weren’t going to sit at home very much. We’ve been in places where all five of your senses come alive. We’ve felt the rumble of Volcan Arenal in Costa Rica. Heard the calving of glaciers in Greenland. Seen a herd of sheep stop traffic in Scotland. Tasted poi at a luau in Hawaii. Been lured by the aroma of meat patties all over the Caribbean. It was all so intoxicating that I kept wanting to travel more. I've now been to Iceland, Greenland, Alaska, Hawaii, all over the U.S., to nearly a dozen Caribbean islands, Mexico, and several countries throughout Europe & Central America.

I finally decided that I needed to turn this passionate hobby of mine into a career. I realized that once you travel, you have the tools to help others go where you’ve been, so here I am. I am a Certified Sandals Specialist & have been to nearly all of their resorts. I have Destination Wedding certifications from several resorts and hold certifications with Viking Cruises, National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions, Globus Family of Brands and many  more, so wherever you want to go & whatever your travel style, I will help you get there.

Client Testimonials

Jennifer was instrumental in planning our destination wedding. She listened to what our wish list was, and made it happen from beginning to end. She helped us find the perfect place and orchestrated the details with the resort and followed it to the end.  She has personality-plus and is a lot of fun to work with.   She truly cares, which is the bottom line. Kelly Grambau

We want to thank you for your taking the time to listen to what we were looking for and providing all the recommendations you did. We will definitely be recommending you to others and using you again. We can't imagine simply booking a vacation to go to "the beach" anymore. After an experience like this, you will never want to choose anything else. Adam and Lee Ann Waller
