I love to travel, but more importantly, I love to plan travel. I've been planning vacations professionally for over a decade, and I've found I really enjoy working through the logistical aspect of putting all the parts together and arranging exactly the vacation that my clients want.

I grew up in Kentucky. After a few years in Fort Lauderdale as a young married couple, my husband and I returned to the state, and I currently call Elizabethtown, Kentucky, our home.  I’ve been a fan of Disney theme parks since I was 5 (thanks, Mom & Dad!). As a former Florida resident, I’ve been to Walt Disney World more times than I can count! I was even able to live and work there for a semester as part of the Walt Disney World College Program.

I've also spent time at Disneyland Resort in California, Disneyland Paris, and I once trekked across Hong Kong by myself in order to spend a day at Hong Kong Disneyland. My twin boys made their first Walt Disney World visit before they were two and have been back nearly every year since, staying at every level of Disney resort from value to villa. Our family has cruised on all of the Disney Cruise Line ships, and we have enjoyed several other cruise lines, too.

I'm also a runDisney fanatic. After a lifetime of being told I was not athletic, I literally took up running just so I could participate in the inaugural Expedition Everest Challenge in 2008. Since then, I've finished many races at both Disney World and Disneyland. I’ve run the Wine & Dine Half Marathon every year since 2010 and completed the Dopey Challenge - a 5K, 10K, half marathon, and full marathon - 10 years in a row! Planning runDisney Racecations is one of my specialties.

While I adore planning vacations to Disney destinations, there's a whole big world to see and explore. I can help you plan for cruise lines including Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Azamara, Princess, Oceania, Norwegian, Cunard, Virgin Voyages and most others! Looking at small ship or specialty cruises like UnCruise, Viking Ocean Cruises, Windstar, Seabourn, Atlas, National Geographic, SilverSea, American Cruise Lines, Explora Journeys, Hurtigruten, Quark Expeditions, or river cruises like AMA Waterways, Viking River Cruises, Riviera River Cruises, Uniworld River Cruises, Amadeus River Cruises or Avalon Waterways? I can do that, too!

Want to get away from it all in luxury at an all-inclusive resort in Mexico, Jamaica, Costa Rica, or the Dominican Republic? I got you! Want to visit the Galapagos? Explore Alaska? Tour Iceland? Hang ten in Hawaii? Go on an African Safari? See Cuba legally? I can help! Let me know what adventure you are planning and we’ll find a way to make it happen.

We could NOT have done this without Jen!

Reviewed By Trish & Pat - Tamaqua, PA | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
Having never taken a cruise before, nor realized how important a very experienced travel agent was to the success of a trip, we were very fortunate that Jen had been highly recommended to us. Jen was very friendly, thorough (ensuring she knew exactly what our desires were), and expertly laid out our detailed itinerary. Her attention to detail was remarkable! We had been undecided about purchasing trip insurance until she convinced us of its value. We were so grateful to have listened to her advice, because a week before departure a medical emergency required cancelling our trip before it started. She immediately contacted all parties to cancel our reservations. Two days later, the cruise itself was cancelled due to mechanical issues with the ship. Worried that our previous cancellation would make us ineligible for any special offers, she worked tirelessly to successfully convince the cruise line that we should also be included. Thanks, Jen - it was truly a pleasure to work with you!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends
