About
I start planning my next trip before I'm home from the one I'm on. I am just as passionate about the planning process as I am about the travel itself! Professor of Pharmacy by day which means Type A and incredibly organized. Born in the UK, raised in BOS, currently in CLT.
Travel style
I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list! I believe a hotel sets the stage for the trip and that everyone should travel like their lives depend on it. I meticulously research and plan so that you can show up to your destination without a worry in the world! I live for good food and cocktails, culture and hidden gems, and an appropriate balance of adventure and relaxation. My ideal scenario: Relaxing in an infinity pool (or hot tub) at sunset with a glass of fine wine after a day of chasing epic views! What's yours?

Jenna 's reviews
Jenna reached out to me after seeing my posts on an Aruba fb page where I was inquiring about places to stay. At first I was hesitant to use a stranger to book my vacation, but after a little research on her and the company, I put our plans into her hands. Jenna was always available, reliable and patient with me during the entire process of planning, during our stay and even after. She never once made me feel like a nuisance. Jenna gave us the info on a sweet, reliable driver to get around Aruba as well as a ton of restaurants, activities and tour recommendations. She called the hotels and made sure we were being taken care of and had champagne waiting for use along with treats when we arrived to both hotels. We were given credit at the Ritz as well as free breakfast through Jenna's booking. She even made sure we got home okay (there was a severe storm coming through) and made herself available if we needed any additional help if travel plans changed. I will utilize Jenna for any future traveling and have recommended her to my friends and family. We are truly appreciative of her and all of her hard work! Thank you Jenna!!

Jenna displayed her skills as a travel planner in a very knowledgeable and timely manner. She was a pleasure to work with as we developed the parameters of what we wanted to do, the timing and in offering a range of vacation possibilities to chose from. She was always available for the adjustments, questions and fine tuning…start to finish. She stayed on top of all aspects of our trip. Thank you Jenna!

Jenna Picton was absolutely AMAZING! From the moment we discussed the possibility of vacationing in Hawaii, she gave us a plethora of options to choose from based on the information that we gave her! Jenna was able to get our family free breakfast, a free room upgrade to a bungalow on the ocean, champagne and a free gift just for booking with her! She made the planning process, for what has been the best vacation that we've ever taken, manageable and stress-free! She helped us choose the right island, the right locations to visit, and beautiful resorts where we were truly spoiled and well taken care of! I can't imagine not using Jenna for the rest of our vacations! Thank you SO much!

We loved working with Jenna for our minimoon to Napa! We had so much going on leading up to the wedding and Jenna made planning this trip a breeze. She provided us with great hotel, food, winery, and activity recommendations. All of her recommendations came with thorough notes, pricing and a cute photos from her own trip. Her communication was fast and very friendly. She checked in with us leading up the wedding weekend and during our stay. We loved every aspect about the trip and can't wait to work with Jenna again!
