My Story
Can pack a suitcase in minutes. Tech professional turned travel advisor. Specializes in crafting extraordinary experiences for busy professionals and families.
My Travel Style
My perfect trip is never just one thing—I believe in balancing beach time with city energy, countryside views, and cultural moments. That’s why I fell in love with places like Puglia, Italy, where you can explore trulli houses in the morning, relax on Adriatic beaches in the afternoon, and linger over dinner in ancient town squares at night.
The real magic of a trip happens when you experience a destination from every angle: authentic cooking classes where a Nonna teaches and boutique stays with character over trending hotels. As a mom who travels with my own family, I craft itineraries that speak to our different rhythms while creating space for genuine connection and adventure.

What can I say about Jennifer other than she is AMAZING! She was very helpful in exploring our options for our trip and suggesting new ideas we had not thought of. She has a wealth of information on travel and travel tips and is eager to help. She definitely is the reason our recent trip to the UK was extra fabulous and was a trip to remember. Thank you Jennifer!

I really enjoyed working with Jennifer and wished I had started working with her earlier in the planning process. She helped me round out the to do list and provided useful tips on places to go, booked all of our transfers and picked an amazing location for our hotel in London and Windsor. I will definitely think of her for our next big trip!

Jen was amazing to work with! She made everything so much easier for us, from itinerary to car service to activity bookings. It took a lot of the stress off of us. I'm a very picky traveler and she was able to help us build an unforgettable trip to Japan. Our kids did not want to leave!

Embrace Old-World Charm and Modern Art at the Elizabeth Unique Hotel in Rome
Stepping through the grand entrance of the Elizabeth Unique Hotel is like stepping into a timeless tapestry woven from ancient Roman history and a contemporary art museum. This 17th-century former palazzo, transformed by a father-son duo and named after their mother and grandmother, Elizabeth, is a harmonious blend of family warmth and avant-garde vision.
From the moment I discovered the hotel, I knew it would be a special place for my mother-daughter trip to Italy with my mother. We both appreciate the finer details and share a passion for artwork. I couldn’t wait for us to check into this gem.

Three days in Puglia: Exploring the Charms of Ostuni, Alberobello and Beyond
Welcome to Puglia, where each cobblestone street tells a story and every village invites you to explore its hidden treasures. On my most recent trip to Italy, I had an amazing (albeit short) 36-hour trip to Puglia. The region is famous for its art, beauty, and tradition, and I was fortunate enough to experience the culture in just three days.
My journey began in Bari, where I picked up my rental car at the train station (which was super convenient for the drop-off in just a few days before heading to Naples).
While driving may seem easy enough in Puglia, driving amongst the locals who know the terrain well is challenging but doable. If you choose to explore by car, get the extra car insurance, an international driver's license, and an abundance of patience, as Google Maps may lead you astray amidst the labyrinthine alleys. And, if you're like me, you might end up with an extra souvenir from the polizia when you get home, but that's another story.
Let's dive into the best part of the trip: the beautiful towns of Puglia.
