Profile details
About
I am a professional photographer, art lover and wanderluster. Raised in Colorado, settled in NorCal, I love languages, people, the outdoors, food-wine, beautiful places & learning!
Travel style
I love planning cultural, artistic, historical and educational explorations. I complement these with fabulous food and wine to feed your soul when your feet are tired, and boutique-chic places to stay when you need a little comfort and luxury. For my last trip to Paris with my teens, I planned a street art itinerary and a revolution walk, speckled with the best bakeries, desserts and beautiful places to rest. I prefer off-the-beaten-path places where I can meet locals. I keep notes on my travels and always look forward to sharing my discoveries!

Jody's reviews
Working with Jody was a pleasure, she provided multiple superb accommodation options for our family of 4 including 2 older teens. Jody took our itinerary into account and found beautiful, comfortable hotel options with the best location and stellar amenities. She kept our budget in mind also, and helped me to navigate the best value for our money. Then all we had to do was have fun! I have worked with other agents before, and Jody proved to be insightful, knowledgeable and one of the best agents I have had the pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!

Jody took care of the annoying parts of travel, allowing us to truly look forward to the trip and enjoy being in the moment. She helped sculpt the vision of our vacation, and brought images to life as she worked through our options with us. The boutique experiences she found were the best part of the trip! She does an excellent job of foreseeing choices in the future and bringing them into your planning conversation, and she does this without any spoilers: Every day we enjoyed a pleasant surprise that we know Jody was aware we would encounter. The value of her services far outweigh the time we spent with her and the cost of her consulting. I brought my family to Europe in 2024, and it was the most enjoyable trip of our lives. We will use Jody for every trip we make!
