Travel style

When I'm traveling I like to like to be a "Bon Vivant", a person who enjoys a sociable and luxurious lifestyle. My itinerary is filled with all things that encompass a Bon Vivant. Local cuisine (both fine dining and street foods, because balance), shopping locally made art, fashion and furniture. Learning about the local history with trusted guides and of course, ending each trip with a spa experience for a little self-care and down time. I document all my travels and post via my personal Instagram @whatsjenuptoo.

I'm a former chef and bakery owner with over two decades of experience in the hospitality industry, most recently working for a Michelin-rated restaurant. I'm customer service focused with client satisfaction being part of my DNA. I'm a believer in "unreasonable hospitality".

Jennifer's reviews

Jennifer was fantastic to work with and took the stress out of planning our honeymoon. She was extremely knowledgeable and guided my wife and I through our honeymoon planning. Jennifer suggested multiple activities outside of our resort and they really added some adventure to our trip. She was easy to talk to and was available anytime we needed her. I have nothing but good things to say and look forward to our next trip.

Jen’s always on top of booking within my preferences whether it be location, room type, or amenities!

I can’t recommend Jen enough! From start to finish she was a dream to work with. Every detail of our trip was handled with care, creativity and professionalism. Jen took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and curated a personalized itinerary that fit our needs perfectly. From seamless transportation and hand-picked accommodations to insider tips we would have never thought of, everything was flawlessly organized. Will always use Jen for our travel needs going forward!

I had an excellent experience working with my travel advisor, Jen for my recent girl’s weekend to Vail. Communication was always timely and clear, which made the entire planning process seamless. She took the time to understand my travel preferences and tailored the recommendations to suit my needs perfectly. The suggestions she provided were incredibly useful and added so much value to my trip. I was especially impressed by the personal touch—she even arranged for the hotel staff to bring a thoughtful thank-you card and treats to my room, which truly made me feel special. Her professionalism and attention to detail were exceptional. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again or recommend her services to others!
