Rolling hills of Tuscany
Hello! My name is Jill Hobbs, and owner of Journeys by Jill, LLC. I first caught the travel bug shortly after completing Physician Assistant school, and have been traveling on my own now for almost 10 years. I truly couldn’t imagine a life without travel! While planning all of my trips, I didn’t realize how much I would truly enjoy the research and preparation that goes into making the perfect vacation, so now I help others customize their dream escapes as well. I love the challenge of creating flawless vacations while helping others see more and spend less. I specialize in both independent and group European travel, as well as Caribbean and beach getaways. There are so many vacation options out there, what experiences are you looking for? Let’s talk!
