Travel Style
I've never met a food tour I didn't love. Connecting within the community by way of food and history is one of my favorite vacation activities. I enjoy finding behind-the-scenes tours or ways to see the destination in a unique way. I have teenagers, so I know the importance of balancing the entertainment factor with enough downtime so everyone can recharge.
Ask me about the way we met relatives in County Clare, Ireland!

Jennifer was extremely personable and went out of her way to get us the best deal and give us the best advice, as well as providing all the info we needed for the trip. I would thoroughly recommend her. Just FYI on a practical note - we paid the exit fees, as recommended, but it was never checked and it felt like we didn't need to.

We could not ask for a better travel planner than Jennifer. She was patient through our planning process, and she continued to refine our trip to accommodate our requests and fit our budget. The hotels she found us were fabulous and the incredible onsite attention we received was thanks to Jen. Her communication with the local travel team was really great, and if they misstepped, she made sure that they recovered.
Jen is delightful to work with and takes the stress out of trip planning. This is the third trip she planned for us, and I couldn't recommend her more!

Communication with Jennifer was easy and seamless! She made great hotel suggestions based on our priorities and feedback for the type of stay we were looking for. The transportation arrangements were easy and convenient to add on to our package. Jennifer was a great listener but never pushy in any kind of way. Would definitely work with her again!

There is a reason this is our 2nd booked trip with Jennifer... she provides a high level of personal service and knowledge that gives my family and me the confidence that our vacation will not only go smoothly but that every detail has been thoughtfully curated and thought of.
Jennifer is THE BEST!

Jen was incredible to work with. Our group needed something very specific — an all‑inclusive resort with condo‑style accommodations since we were traveling with babies. We wanted a two‑bedroom setup with a living room, kitchen, and laundry so we could handle all the baby needs without giving up the relaxing resort experience.
We had tried researching on our own and came up empty. Honestly, we didn’t think what we wanted even existed. Once we connected with Jen, she immediately provided several fantastic options that checked every box.
From there, everything was seamless. Booking was simple, travel was smooth, and Jen handled every detail — transfers, dinner reservations, cribs in the room, and more. Not a single issue the entire trip.
I would absolutely use Jen again and highly recommend her to anyone planning travel.

Fiji is for Families: The Ultimate Family Beach Vacation
When you think of Fiji, you might think of it as being a romantic honeymoon destination. This is very accurate, however, we were delighted to discover that Fiji is a great family-friendly destination as well. The warm hospitality, natural beauty, and barefoot luxury of the islands make for the perfect family getaway.

Multigen Ireland in a Week: A Self-Drive Itinerary
We decided for our 20th wedding anniversary to return to Ireland, but celebrate it with our kids and parents. Because we were traveling with a multigenerational group, we decided moving around every other day from hotel to hotel like we did 20 years ago was not practical. For this trip, we opted to do day trips from hotels in two regions. Traveling during the week of Thanksgiving meant chilly weather, but the trade-off was fewer crowds than in the summer months.

Perfect Family Getaway: Tauck Bridges’ All-Inclusive Alpine Adventure
For our first trip to Europe as a family of four (parents and teenagers age 13&16) we wanted the best of both worlds: To enjoy time as a family with self-paced days to ourselves, but also touring with a group so we could enjoy someone else being the tour director. We did not want to rent a car, another benefit of traveling with a group. With Tauck, not only did they have exciting activities, we had some really incredible behind-the-scenes experiences. The hotels on our Tauck tour were all five-star luxury accommodations. This is certainly a highlight of booking with Tauck.
I consider my family social and we enjoy meeting new people. A highlight was connecting with the other members of the group. It was admittedly a surprise bonus part of traveling with a Tauck, built-in friends for our kids!
We decided to extend our stay on the front and back end of the tour to make the most of our time in Europe. In total, we were gone for 15 days. The Tauck tour was eight days in the middle. Tauck's land tours are known for their small group sizes, which average 15–24 guests, and are designed to allow travelers to experience destinations up close. Tauck is all-inclusive. Meaning your meals, excursions, accommodations, transportation and tips are all included.

The Perfect 4 Night Girlfriend Getaway - Virgin Voyages Cruise - Fire & Sunset Soirées
I have never considered myself a "cruise person"...but the adults-only all-inclusive approach on Virgin Voyage has made me a believer! For my first experience at sea, I'm so glad it was a Virgin Cruise onboard the Scarlet Lady. This short four night/five day mini vacation is the perfect mom escape, gal pal getaway, milestone birthday celebration group trip, singles adventure, or romantic couple's getaway.
Grab your besties, pack the carry on, and get ready for an elevated cruise experience! Four nights not enough? Virgin has itineraries to suit longer trips including the Caribbean, Mediterranean, UK, Asia and Australian offerings.

Couples Weekend Getaway to Las Vegas for a Concert at the Sphere
The Sphere, the newest venue addition to Sin City, is nothing short of a futuristic sensory experience. We traveled to Las Vegas to see U2 on the last night of their Sphere residency for a birthday celebration and loved it! You can check concert lineups on their website.
