Hi, I’m Jessi!
Your go-to for immersive, experience-driven travel that goes far beyond the surface.
I’m based in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, and my approach to travel has always been about one thing: experiencing a destination fully.
I specialize in trips that are meant to feel like a full DEEP DIVE in to the destination. A vacation that is truly meaningful, and unforgettable. The kinds of trips that where you don’t visit a place. You experience it.
That means exploring nature, finding incredible local food, discovering hidden gems, and building a trip that feels layered, memorable, and completely unique.
Travel has been a huge part of my life, both personally and professionally, and over the years it’s shaped the way I plan for my clients. I’ve spent time designing experiences, traveling extensively, and even working within the hospitality world, which gives me a deeper understanding of how destinations, hotels, and experiences really come together.
When I’m not planning travel, I’m usually dreaming up my next adventure with my wife, who is always right there alongside me. Truly, no seat is better than the one next to your adventure partner.
My Approach
No two trips are the same, and I don’t treat them like they are.
I take the time to understand what you want your trip to feel like, not just where you want to go. Then I help you sort through the options and build something that actually fits you.
My clients love that I approach vacation planning by…
Bringing energy and excitement to their ideas
Clearly organize and lay out itineraries to make them EASY
Ensure that their trip feels personal, not pre-built
My personal travel preferences
-
Costa Rica. There’s something about the biodiversity, the energy, and the warmth of the people that feels both grounding and refreshing at the same time.
-
Portugal. Every time I go, I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface. Between the history, architecture, and the beauty of the Azores, it’s a place that constantly inspires me.
-
Choosing just one is almost impossible. I’ve spent years traveling for both work and leisure, and I’ve even designed furnishings for hotels and resorts around the world, so I tend to notice the details most people miss.
That said, The Fairmont in San Francisco really stands out for me. It has this incredible mix of history, elegance, and personality that makes the entire experience feel special from the moment you walk in.
-
Eloping with my wife in the Hoh Rainforest in Washington during a massive rainstorm, with an elk standing nearby. It felt surreal, chaotic, and absolutely perfect all at once.
I’m not the kind of traveler who stays in one place the entire time.
I want to see what’s around the corner, what’s off the map, and what most people miss.
Who I work best with
My ideal clients are the ones who:
Want to fully immerse themselves in the places they visit.
People who care about the food, the culture, the nature, the architecture, the music, and everything in between.
If you want to truly know a destination, not just visit it, we’ll be a great fit.
