My experience
My journey into the travel business began with my own family's adventures. My husband and I have enjoyed exploring with our children, crafting precious memories that will last a lifetime. As our girls grew older, I found myself naturally helping friends and family plan their own dream getaways. It was in these moments that the idea of Traveling With Jess was born.

Let me help you book your company trip so you can focus on your employees and running your business!
