About Me

Italy is one of my top-selling European destinations, and I’ve explored it extensively during two visits. My first trip was an educational tour, where I learned the ins and outs of navigating Italy by train. Now, I specialize in crafting customized Italian experiences tailored to your unique preferences. Whether you dream of wandering through the historic streets of Rome, immersing yourself in the art and culture of Florence, relishing in the romance of Venice’s canals, basking in the coastal beauty of the Amalfi Coast and Cinque Terra, or prefer an organized tour with all the details prearranged, I’m here to curate an unforgettable journey through the heart of Italy, where every moment becomes a cherished memory. Just go!

Client Testimonials

Alaska Group Travel
It began with an idea to extend an existing trip to the U.S. Open in Seattle. My husband and I decided to add a cruise to Alaska. We knew that Travel Leaders specialized in cruises. When we walked into the Grand Ledge office we were greeted by Jody Carpenter. We hoped we might have 2 or 3 more couples interested in going, but Jody suggested spreading the word. As it turned out, we had 20 additional family members and close friends that joined us. Pleasing a group of 22 people is no small task. After about a year of planning, many telephone calls and e-mails (as most of our group was not from the Grand Ledge area, and a few even out of state), we set sail for an Inside Passage cruise to Alaska! All of the details, including shore excursions, were handled expertly and efficiently by Jody. Everyone was thrilled with the quick and timely responses to all of our questions and concerns. We all will travel in the future, and will not hesitate to call upon Jody again.
