This isn’t about rushing from highlight to highlight or choosing a destination because it’s trending ....
This is for you if...​
​
-
You want travel to feel intentional, not rushed or checkbox-driven.
​​
-
You care about where you go — the place, the culture, the people — not just the hotel.
​​
-
You value how you experience it: paced well, thoughtfully layered, something for everyone in the family & aligned with your interests.
​​
-
You’re curious about the why behind a destination & want context, not just logistics.
​​
-
You don’t need endless options — you want them to be thoughtfully chosen & clearly explained so you can choose with confidence.​

Why intentional travel matters to me
I didn’t always think about travel this way.
​
I’ve taken trips that looked great on paper - packed itineraries, famous highlights, constant motion - & came home feeling oddly disconnected, more tired than transformed.
​
Over time, through very different seasons of life, I learned that the trips that stayed with me weren’t the busiest ones. They were the ones where I understood why I was there. Where the pace made sense. Where food, place, and experience were connected - & there was room to be present.
​
As a former chef and geologist, I’m naturally curious about how things come together: landscapes, cultures, flavors, stories. Intentional travel lets me honor that curiosity - & help others do the same.
​
Now I research, curate & present personalized travel options with context & care — so you can make confident, informed choices without spending hours piecing it all together.
These are the memories that you cherish
Hi, I'm Jess - Your Travel Advisor
Here are some of the things that light me up and influence my travel style...
LEARNING & CURIOSITY
I've been curious about the world since I was a kid traveling the world as part of a military family. Nothing lights me up like learning something new.
GEOLOGIST
I have a masters degree in geology, and worked as a geologist in the energy industry for 10 years. I like to weave in spectacular natural landscapes and hiking opportunities when traveling.
CLASSICALLY-TRAINED CHEF
I've loved cooking since I was a kid. I went to culinary school and later worked as a personal chef. Savoring local food and wines is always a must for me while traveling.
