About Me

2023 Family Trip to Portugal ~Algarve~
2023 Family Trip to Portugal ~Algarve~

Hello! I'm Jen, your go-to travel adviser and fellow explorer! As a dedicated health care worker, wife, and proud mom to two wonderful children (and our lovable Golden Retriever, Newman), I understand the importance of embracing life's moments. In a world where change is constant, I'm here to help you seize the opportunity to create lasting memories with your loved ones.

Why Travel Matters

Life is unpredictable, and that's precisely why I advocate living it to the fullest. I firmly believe that even with a family in tow, the adventure of travel is just beginning. As an independent travel adviser, I've made it my mission to demonstrate that your wanderlust need not take a back seat when parenthood begins—it's an opportunity for a new kind of adventure!

My Journey, Your Inspiration

In 2018, I embarked on a solo cross-country flight with my then 2-month-old daughter. The following year, my husband and I ventured through Italy for three weeks when our daughter was just 10 months old, navigating planes, buses, trains, taxis, and even boats. In the summer of 2023, our family hit the roads of Portugal for a two-week exploration with our 4-year-old and 2-year-old in tow.

Empowering Your Family Adventures

With these experiences as my guide, my mission is clear: to dispel the fears parents often have about traveling with children and to empower you to embark on your family adventures. Let me be your ally in planning a trip that not only exposes you and your loved ones to the wonders of the world but also strengthens the bonds within your family.

Your Adventure Awaits!

Don't let the worries hold you back—your adventure awaits! Allow me to take the reins and craft a journey that resonates with your family's unique spirit. Together, we'll turn your travel dreams into reality, creating a tapestry of memories that will last a lifetime.

Here's to exploring, discovering, and making memories that matter!

Jen Your Independent Travel Adviser

Family Travel Expert

My passion and excitement for travel has lead me to become a travel agent.

I love encouraging people to go on vacation with children because it's so rewarding for everyone in the family. The memories made will last a lifetime.

From tasting different cuisine, hearing different languages being spoken and even navigating how to get from 'point A to point B'; travelling certainly helps the development of a child's character. 

With my experience as a parent and traveller, I can help ease the anxiety associated with family travel. 

 I look forward to helping you and your loved once experience the world together. Let's create a memorable vacation together. 

 

 ~Jen~

A week to remember in Portugal!
Reviewed By Jen - Lisbon | Traveled to Portugal | Europe
We would definitely recommend Jennifer when planning your next vacation! She booked our 10th Wedding Anniversary trip to Portugal and took care of every detail - from flights with seats reserved together, private transfers, train tickets, accommodations, and private tours/activities! She was very knowledgeable about the destination and suggested we add a day trip to Sintra, which ended up being one of the highlights of our vacation! Jennifer was also very responsive to our questions, which ensured an enjoyable and stress-free getaway!

Perfect Location
Reviewed By TS Trip - Castleton Ontario | Traveled to Paris ~ France ~ Europe
Working with Jennifer was great. She was always positive, listened to our needs/wants and diligent in finding a hotel for us in our price range. Our hotel was a small quiet place very close to the Arc D' Triumph and the Metro was right outside the door so we had no issues getting to our event and back. We also had several little cafe's within a block of the hotel to enjoy meals. It was the perfect location Thank You Jennifer
Jennifer Shea responded
"Thank you so much! It was a pleasure helping you find the perfect spot near the Arc de Triomphe. I'm so glad the location worked out so well for your event and that you enjoyed the nearby cafés. I truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to helping with your next adventure! Warmly, Jen"
