About Jennie

Your Guide to Extraordinary Journeys

 

My journey to becoming a travel advisor began like so many great trips — with curiosity, a few surprises, and a clear destination.

 

From cross-country road trips as a child to family vacations spent exploring zoos, caves, and historic landmarks, I’ve always found joy in discovery. But it was after a flight to Arizona — and later, a life-changing cruise — that I realized just how much I wanted to see (and help others see) more of the world.

Bringing a Nurse's Heart to Travel Planning

 

Before travel, I spent years working as a Registered Nurse. That experience shaped how I show up for my clients today — with attention to detail, strong organization, calm under pressure, and a deep respect for how valuable time and peace of mind truly are. I now bring those same skills into a different kind of care: travel planning that’s seamless, intentional, and designed around you.

 

I specialize in:

 

  • Cruises and cruise tours
  • Group and multigenerational travel
  • All-inclusive vacations
  • Custom itineraries
  • Meetings, incentives, and events at sea

 

Whether you’re planning a personal escape, a celebration with friends and family, or a professional gathering that needs to go off without a hitch, I provide the research, communication, and advocacy you need to travel well.

 

I believe extraordinary journeys aren’t built from a search bar — they’re built through connection, care, and expertise.

 

Let’s plan something unforgettable.
