About Me

Cliffs of Moher
Cliffs of Moher

Ireland is a destination that rewards thoughtful planning, and my expertise comes from experiencing it firsthand. I traveled through Ireland on an escorted journey with Globus, exploring the country in the same way many of my clients do, moving between regions, staying in centrally located hotels, and balancing guided sightseeing with time to explore independently.

During this journey, I experienced Ireland’s cities, countryside, and coastal regions, including Dublin, Ennis, Killarney, Waterford, and historic towns such as Kilkenny. I visited iconic sites like the Cliffs of Moher, the Ring of Kerry, and Blarney, while also enjoying immersive cultural experiences such as farm visits, local tastings, and time with expert local guides who brought Ireland’s history and traditions to life. Experiencing these elements in real time gave me valuable insight into how Ireland truly flows for travelers.

This firsthand experience allows me to guide clients realistically and confidently. I understand driving distances, daily pacing, hotel locations, and how much can comfortably be seen in a week without feeling rushed. I can advise when an escorted tour is the best fit for an Ireland trip, particularly for travelers who want a seamless experience, expert storytelling, and efficient transportation, and when a more independent itinerary may make sense instead.

I work with clients planning their first trip to Ireland as well as those returning to see more of the country. Families, couples, and multigenerational travelers benefit from my ability to match the right travel style to their comfort level and interests, whether that means guided touring, a combination of touring and free time, or a customized itinerary built around specific regions.

My approach to Ireland travel is focused on reducing stress and increasing enjoyment. I help clients understand what to expect before they go, how to prepare, and how to make the most of their time once they arrive. From choosing the right itinerary and travel style to setting realistic expectations about pacing and experiences, my goal is always the same, a smooth, meaningful, and memorable journey through Ireland.

There's a reason Travel Agents exist!
Reviewed By Brad - Gig Harbor, WA | Traveled to Steamboat Springs ~ Colorado ~ USA
I'm the type of guy that just learned how to order things off Amazon last year... my wife does everything for me and the kids. So how do you give a gift to the best gift-giver? Let someone else plan a trip for you. Holy smokes, travel agents make it SOOO easy to get away and for great prices. Jennifer listened to my needs and planned out a great ski trip for my wife and I to enjoy without our kids. I'm hooked and will be reaching out to Jennifer as we plan (together) our trip to Europe next year!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Jones Family Relaxing Beach Vacay
Reviewed By BJones - Los Alamos NM | Traveled to Destin ~ Florida ~ USA
Jennifer is amazing at what she does. I told her where we wanted to go, what we wanted to spend, and that the goal was just to relax. She nailed it. The resort was perfect. It was so beautiful and had space for all of us. Jennifer has been doing this for so long, that she instantly knew what to look for. She explained everything, followed-up regularly, and took the stress out of travel.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Client Testimonials

High-Flying Fun in Ketchikan!
The ziplining in Ketchikan was the absolute highlight of our Alaska cruise! Flying through the treetops of the Tongass National Forest was both thrilling and breathtaking. Our kids (and honestly, the adults too!) couldn’t stop smiling. The guides made us feel completely safe and kept the energy fun the entire time. We’ll be talking about this adventure for years!
Mary D
Picturesque Retreat of Tranquility and Charm
When I think of the ideal escape, Friday Harbor immediately comes to mind. From the moment our ferry eased into the harbor, I felt like I'd stepped into a tranquil world away from the daily hustle. The quaint town charm, combined with the stunning panoramic views, made every day feel like a postcard come to life. My children were enamored with the local marine life, and the Whale Museum was a particular hit! Dining by the waterfront, watching the sun set with hues of amber and pink, reaffirmed our decision to choose Friday Harbor as our vacation spot. For anyone seeking a serene retreat with just the right blend of natural beauty and small-town allure, I cannot recommend Friday Harbor enough. We're already planning our return trip next year!
