Custom European Tours & River Cruise Expert
When I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 33, I was forced to look at life from a new perspective. This startling reality coupled with the fact that I knew I wanted to spend my days — however many there would be — doing what I loved, inspired me to start my own business. During the year that I was receiving treatment for my cancer, I launched my own travel agency.
Now, I have the opportunity to work with my clients to create customized trip itineraries to Europe as a travel specialist. My work brings me joy, and I wake up every day excited to be able to share my travel expertise with others. As one of the best travel agencies for Europe, I specialize in booking:
- Custom Trip Itineraries in Europe - Having lived abroad in Germany and Spain, I am more familiar with this continent than most travel agents, and have experienced may destinations first hand. I specialize in helping people select, plan, and book multi-city European vacations to best suit their own personal travel style.
- Luxury River & Small Ship Cruising - Sailing through the heart of Europe on river cruises and into unique ports aboard small ocean ships is a perfect way to see Europe in luxury. With many choices to choose from, I help match my client's desired travel style with companies that will exceed their expectations.
- Military Family Travel - There's nothing better than helping other military families travel the world, especially when they are stationed overseas with incredible opportunities at their fingertips. Time spent traveling is precious and I help maximize your time between all of the TDYs, deployments, and general work constraints.
I know that time spent traveling is precious to all types of travelers, but I have a special place in my heart for military families and cancer survivors who want to go abroad. These people, more than many, understand that time is elusive, and they never know just how much time they have with the people they love the most. I enjoy going the extra mile to make sure that their vacations are nothing less than amazing.Your journey abroad should never truly end. Allow me to help you find the best path for you on your own endless route. Contact me today to get started.

My Travel Stories
Food in Belgium
Belgium is truly a gem! It's not a country on many people's bucket list, but it should be. On my first trip to Belgium, I planned a family friendly activities to keep everyone satisfied and happy. One of the first things we did was a food tour. Who doesn't like Belgium ... Read more from my Food in Belgium story.

Destination Wedding Guest
Jennifer at Endless Routes Travel is fantastic. Every aspect of our vacation was 100 % spot on. Resort was fantastic. Booking, check in etc. All seamless. The only thing we had to do was get off the plane and have a blast!!! Thank you Jennifer. We are already looking forward to booking our next vacation with you.
Inexperienced Traveler
I had not taken a vacation in over 23 years, & had never needed a travel agent. So, when I got ready to take a vacation this year, I had no clue where to begin. I reached out to a friend who was a "travel coordinator" (Everybody has that friend of a friend who is just amazing, right?). Well, she dropped the ball on me, & I never heard from her again. I then tried to schedule my own vacation. I just didn't know where we could go that would be enjoyable. So, I spent a ton of time online only to end up empty handed. With just a week to go before my vacation, I reached out to Jennifer Barnard. I was in full on panic mode as we were also celebrating my wife's birthday as part of our vacation. Jennifer listened to what I needed, developed a couple of options for me, and delivered the perfect get away for me & my wife. She is just an amazing person to work with. Our vacation was fantastic, and my wife was thrilled with the trip. Thank you again, Jennifer. I couldn't have done it without you.
Luxury Cruiser & Avid Traveler
Jennifer is the best travel agent I've ever encountered, I am a details person, and thought I could do this stuff myself, and have many times before, but once I found Jennfer, I will not again, what most people don't know is, it normally cost the same or less to use a travel professional, and having a good one is amazing, she is more detailed than I am, and is very responsive, she takes care of everything, flights, insurance, transfers, you name it, she get it done!!! We have use Jennifer many times and have many trips booked with her now!! I can't recommend her higher!! She is THE BEST!!
Satisfied River Cruise Client
Jennifer is very attentive to your requests! I had a mix-up, which was all my fault, and she was very quick to try and remedy the situation right away. In addition, her responsiveness to requests is very fast. I would recommend Jennifer (which I have to friends) as she is very knowledgeable about the travel industry and knows Europe like the "back of her hand," after living there.
Iceland in Winter
We really enjoyed working with Jennifer for our Christmas trip/anniversary trip to Iceland. She made the planning process easy, and made sure everything was in order for us. We basically got on the plane and didn’t have to organize anything else for ourselves before coming back home…What a vacation is supposed to be!
Luxury Traveler & Repeat Clients
Jennifer is simply amazing! Introduced to her last year and booked 5 trips with her. For us, It is the peace of mind that she has all our details/needs taken care of. We took her up on a few private excursions away from the normal tour/cruise offers and she was right, the best experience and unique excursions with less crowds. We have 3 trips planned with her for next year and we can't wait.
Family Greece Success
My family recently returned from an unforgettable trip of a lifetime to Greece thanks to Jennifer. We are avid travelers & I have always enjoyed the process of researching and planning escapes for he and I, as well as family vacations with our 3 kids. I've heard Jennifer Barnard's name referred many times. We hired Jennifer, all my stress melted away especially with COVID restrictions abound. She was wonderful to work with from the beginning to the end and concocted the perfect itinerary at first shot truly exceeding our expectations. Having someone to take care of all the details, questions, staying on top of the Covid regulations for Greece & our home country, as well as possible unexpected issues (thankfully we had none but was very comforting to know if something arose, we would have Jennifer to help us) was invaluable! I would highly recommend Jennifer whether you are traveling solo, as a couple, family, or group.
Croatia Family Vacation
My family and I arrived in Germany about a year ago, at the height of Covid. Our plans to travel were at a stand still. So, when Europe starting to open back in the spring we were overwhelmed, both where to go as well as all the requirements. I saw a post from Endless Routes Travel. Jennifer was in Croatia and it sounded amazing! I contacted her and she planned a wonderful trip for our family. Today, more than ever, travel to foreign countries is a complex undertaking. Jennifer made it easy! We hope to work with her again for future travels.
Amalfi Coast & Rome - Family Trip
Jennifer was not only accessible, responsive and pleasant to work with but she was also knowledgeable. It really can make or break a trip when you have an agent who understands and is familiar with the area you are traveling to. Every accommodation was spot on and each of her recommendations were top notch. I can’t say enough about how wonderful she is. 10/10 will book with her again.
Mother & Daughter in Cancun
I was referred to Jennifer by my daughter-in-law who has used her several times. I had never travelled out of the country before, and I was overwhelmed by the thought of planning the trip myself. Jennifer was terrific every step of the way. We were originally planning to go to Jamaica, but we were open to other destinations. Jennifer suggested a resort in Cancun. We ended up going to the one in Cancun and absolutely loved it. It was so nice to have all of the travel arrangements made for us. Jennifer communicated with us every step of the way. I will definitely use her services in the future when we travel. She took all of the stress out of planning this trip and I was able to relax and really enjoy my vacation.
Repeat Family Client
Jennifer has booked 6 different family European vacations & each one has been an incredible experience! My husband & I work full time and have two young children so we don’t have any time to plan tips but we absolutely love traveling. Some of our most memorable European vacations have been to Croatia, Rome, Barcelona, Canary Islands, Austria, France & so many more destinations! We have been able to experience private tours catered specifically for our family, we have indulged in some of the best food, wine, and coffee in a multitude of destinations, skipped long wait times for popular tourist attractions, and have stayed in numerous 5* hotels with the best customer service imaginable. With her providing guidance & itineraries that detail everything from documents, reservations, tours, & more, to her being available at any time for questions, she makes every trip 100% stress free so we can sit back & enjoy each moment! We have recommended her to numerous friends & family members.
Small Ship First time cruiser
We just finished our first cruise and with Jennifer's planning and research, we had such a wonderful experience! This has been on our bucket list for years, but we didn't want one of the huge cruise ships, with so many people. We decided to have Jennifer do everything for us, and she sure did! She found exactly what we were looking for in a cruise. Everything from ship size to hitting the best Mediterranean locations. Also, every time we had a question, she was quick to respond. We look forward to using Jennifer's knowledge in planning our next trip! I really enjoyed being able to lower my stress level by having all the difficult planning done for me! It was so worth it and will definitely be using Jennifer at Endless Routes Travel again!
London & Countryside Success
Jennifer did a marvelous job planning our trip. Our 10 days in England -- 5 in London and 5 in the countryside -- went without a hitch. This was the first time we had used an agent and, without equivocation, we literally couldn't have asked for a better experience. Jennifer was very thorough with every detail. She listened to what we wanted and went above and beyond to provide. Suffice to say it takes a lot to impress me, and I was most definitely impressed. We are two very satisfied people who will definitely use Endless Routes Travel again. Thanks, Jennifer!
Repeat River Cruiser
I cannot offer enough praise of working with Jennifer & Endless Routes Travel. She learned about us & what we seek in our travels and then puts together amazing plans. We are planning a family trip to Greece this summer with our grandchildren and Jennifer found us amazing accommodations and activities that will be wonderful experiences for the children and adults. We are also working with her on other European travel and river cruises. She is responsive and just fun to work with. We will be working with her over & over again!
Family trip to Rome!
For 20 years, my husband & I have wanted to visit Rome, Italy. He usually does the trip planning but after going on a short group visit to Verona, Italy, that was planned by Jennifer (seeing what a great job she did) we immediately hired her to plan our long-awaited trip to Rome. What a fantastic job she did! I wanted to spare my husband the time & effort it would’ve taken him to plan the trip. Her advice on what to do & the detailed questions she asked definitely customized our time there to my family, including my mother who has limited mobility. Her knowledge of Europe & coordination with in-country teams was absolutely invaluable. Because of Jennifer being in the States and with the time difference, she had my family in touch with local advisors that extended her hospitality & assistance with everything and anything we needed. It made me feel safe & taken care of in a bustling, unfamiliar city. We look forward to requesting Jennifer’s expertise again when we head to Ireland!
