A Bit About Jen
Shy Extroverted Virgo, New Mommy
Countries lived in: 3 Visited: 14 and counting
Originally from and currently living in Sackville, Nova Scotia, I believe I was born with the travel bug. As a kid I wanted to be a Jeopardy! contestant and come in second place to win the trip! They don't even give trips away anymore but it is still my dream to be a Jeopardy! contestant.
​
When I was 15 I convinced my family to take a Caribbean Cruise so in April 2000 we sailed on the Carnival Paradise.
I've been making my way around the world ever since.
I spent a high school semester in Switzerland, and did two trips through my university: a tour of Greece and Turkey and a Service Learning trip to Tanzania. One of my favourite trips was my solo trip to the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games.
​
I eventually realized my passion was not only seeing the world myself, but planning vacations for others. I began learning the ropes in a storefront agency in 2014 and in 2017 started my own business backed by Go Travel.
​
My husband, Paul, and I got engaged in The Netherlands in 2016 and had our dream destination wedding in Dominican Republic in 2017. In December of 2020 we welcomed our son, Benjamin, who will be joining us on our future adventures!
I'm friendly, kind, and I love to read but I watch way too much TV. I believe you're never too old for Harry Potter!

Thanks for reading if you've made it this far!
Below you'll see some benefits of booking with me, as well as what I specialize in and get a glimpse of my training.
Why Book With Me?
Passion & Product Knowledge
Why should you book with me? For a personal touch! I’m passionate about travel and get excited about your vacations that I’m helping plan.
Having been in the business for the better part of ten years now, I am highly trained and am constantly educating myself on everything I can - I attend supplier trainings, workshops, and complete many online courses. Have a look below for the certifications that I’ve obtained. What does this mean for you? I have the insider knowledge to find what you’re looking for.
Small Business, Big Network
I may operate a small business, but I have a wealth of resources at my disposal. Go Travel has a network of travel advisors across Canada, and we are part of the consortia, Ensemble Travel Group. Being part of Ensemble means we have access to many amazing suppliers, and sometimes some nice extra perks for our clients - yes, you!
Full Support
Everyone hopes their vacation goes smoothly, and most of the time it will. But if something does go wrong, I’m in your corner to help get the issue resolved. I am more invested in you than someone at a big website's call centre. I aim to take care of every aspect of your vacation including transportation, accommodations, activities, and making sure your vacation is protected.
Travel Protection
I am fully licensed in Nova Scotia to sell travel protection. For peace of mind for both myself and clients, I require a purchase of a Manulife policy (including trip cancellation, trip interruption, and emergency medical coverage) with all bookings. We will discuss which plan is best for your vacation. Do you live outside of NS? No worries, not only can I still book your travel, but I can direct you to the proper channel to get you covered. More info.
In a nutshell: I am passionate, qualified, and have the network to support you from the time you book to when you get home and beyond.
