Travel style
There is never enough world to see, and I want to experience it all. My travel style is a blend of exploring vibrant city life and relaxing in coastal tranquility. Whether it's Tokyo, London, Singapore, Paris, Istanbul, New York or Venice, I love the architectural beauty, unique treasures, breathtaking views and historic charm that cities offer. When it’s time for a city break, I gravitate towards oceanfront resorts and adventure excursions in destinations like the Amalfi Coast, Belize, Mykonos, Bahamas, Hawaii, Tenerife, Croatia and Mexico. I truly love the planning process. Creatively designing itineraries that strike the perfect balance between active exploration and blissful beachside relaxation, between iconic landmarks and lazy rivers for the kiddos, and between spa days and sparkling nightlife on a girls trip.

Jen's reviews
We loved working with Jen! Everything on our trip to Belize was incredibly smooth from start to finish. Jen booked us fun excursions and reservations delicious restaurants, and it was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. At the end of the trip my husband asked our family what we would have done differently and we all said ABSOLUTELY NOTHING - we made memories to last a lifetime.

Working with Jen was fabulous. She was knowledgeable, efficient and took care of so many details such as booking the hotels, restaurants, transportation and entertainment, taking that burden off of our plate and allowing us to spend our prep time researching what we wanted to do. She implemented everything we wanted while also giving suggestions on things we didn’t know about or hadn’t heard of. She communicated with hotels and restaurants for us which was so helpful. She presented a clear and adjustable itinerary for us that made each day easy to navigate. Lastly, and probably most importantly, she took into consideration the different temperaments, personalities and likes/dislikes of each of our family members helping to create a balanced trip that everyone could enjoy.

Jen is amazing! She was able to book my trips to Vegas, Miami and Carmel, CA and saved me a significant amount of money -- and provided added benefits. She also helped me get upgrades added to my Vegas reservation which initially they said "no upgrades." She made it so easy for me - we communicated over email and things moved very quickly and easily. It's also great because Jen has been to so many places and she shares the same taste as I have, so I know I can trust her. I'm looking forward to booking more with her in the future!

I couldn’t be happier with the experience I’ve had working with Jen. She is very knowledgeable and ensured that I was in the best part of town for what I was looking for. I was so impressed that I’ve already asked her to book me another trip in London where she’s also gotten me an amazing deal at a top hotel right in the heart of the city. She was able to get me two nights for free! Without a doubt, I’ll be booking with Jen again in the future. She was incredibly responsive to my requests and was empathetic to what I was looking for in a trip. Highly recommended!
