Custom Luxury Travel - Culinary & Nature Niche

In addition to my passion for travel, my work history includes the hospitality industry, environmental conservation, eco-expedition cruising, and c-level corporate travel. My BA degree is in geography with a biology minor and I am a Certified Travel Associate through the Travel Institute. I hold membership with the Luxury Leaders Alliance of Travel Leaders Network and CLIA, consortiums of travel professionals and am the culinary mentor to my colleagues. As an SNG Certified Accessible Travel Advocate, I connect those with special needs or physical challenges with resources to travel with confidence.

We were searching for the seasonal bianchetto truffle that time of year. Beppe shared that an annual fee-based license is required to hunt each year and truffles are often found near oak...

    We had such a great experience working with Jenn. She turned around our trip details so fast and was responsive our entire trip if we had any questions. She even sent us tips to make the most of our trip. She was absolutely wonderful to work with and made planning our trip so much less stressful. We recommend working with her 100%!

    Reviewed By Cindy - Birmingham, AL | Traveled to Maine ~ USA
    Jenn was great from planning to during the trip! She was helpful and listened to our interest in the planning phase, as well as our budget. She was always very responsive when we had questions and that continued through the entire trip. Importantly for us, she was not pushy at all. She let us be as independent and involved as we wanted to be while taking of the things we asked her to. If you are planning a trip and want someone to work hard and well for you, definitely contact Jenn!

    Excellent Communication!
    Reviewed By Kyle - Birmingham, AL | Traveled to Spain ~ Europe
    Jenn was excellent with communication and providing us the materials we needed to be prepared for our first international trip. There were a few items we needed related to COVID; she answered our questions promptly. At the same time, she also provided us restaurant and bar recommendations that were perfect for when we weren’t site seeing. One of the best trips of our lives, and we probably would have had a completely different experience without her. Thank you, Jenn!

    Jenn gives you the skinny on the best places!
    Reviewed By Justinn - Birmingham | Traveled to Mobile ~ Alabama ~ USA
    Jenn's suggestions on our recent trip made me feel like a local! Whether it was suggesting restaurants that cater to my dietary restrictions, finding places we can take our dog to have an afternoon drink, or the best hikes in the area... Jenn found the perfect places for me & my family to visit. It's great to have someone who is willing to do the research, plan the perfect day, and also follow up with you after your trip. Jenn's attention to detail and thoughtfulness is one of the many reasons everyone should travel with Fork & Leaf Travel!
