My passion for travel inspired me to experience various types of travel, so I can truly find the best fit for my clients. I love expanding my knowledge of destinations and experiences to include things like iconic cities, diverse cruises, villa rentals, dude ranches, escorted groups, and incredible beaches, to name a few. I loved the freedom of exploring Italy with no set schedule on my villa vacation. Still, I also appreciated the stress-free nature of seeing the National Parks with an organized tour group. It's my goal to match the perfect destination and product with my client, and I especially love family travel! My greatest pleasure is creating memories and special moments for my clients.

Traveling with my family has been some of my favorite moments in life. My son had his passport at four months old and has enjoyed everything from skiing in Deer Valley to cheese making in Italy to whale watching in Alaska. It has been so fun and an honor to show him the world as we get more globally connected. If I could give a young family advice, I would tell them don't give up traveling with their kids. I want to be an example to my clients that travel can remain a part of life with children and aging parents.

If anything, this year has taught us that life is short and precious. This sentiment has taken on so much more meaning…" I travel because I'd rather look back at life saying, "I can't believe I did that" instead of "If only I had."

  • Jessica knocks it out of the park again!

    By Lauren B, 21 Dec 2024

    Recommended - This is the third trip Jessica (and Mariah!) have helped us plan. This time, she secured an amazing room at the Fairmont Waterfront in Vancouver, BC - the entire city was almost sold out but she made our trip for the Eras tour absolutely perfect. From the free upgrade, the personalized note and chocolates waiting in our room, and the complete ease of coordinating the entire trip, Jessica just knows how to make a trip truly a relaxing vacation. Anytime we discuss a new adventure, the first words out of my mouth are “let’s see what options/ideas Jessica has!” I will always recommend her to anyone that will listen!

    Recommended - My family and I traveled to Italy for spring break. My children are 12 and 9 so having a family friendly trip and activities was key. Jessica took time to understand our interests, exactly what sights we wanted to explore, and the need to have downtime in between. She presented several options on each of the cities we visited: Rome, Florence and Venice. Jessica nailed it. Each tour and guide was excellent. She had taken the time to brief each of our guides and each tour felt special and designed for exactly what we needed. Expectations were exceeded! I look forward to planning our next family trip with Jessica.
