I am an avid traveller, and my favourite type of travel is a big adventure off the beaten path with my family. I have visited 60 countries with my kids, including Burkina Faso, Guyana, Albania and Vietnam (our fav).

We visited 30 countries during our family gap year in 2017-2018, and it sparked a desire for longer periods of travel interspersed with time at home.

Now, we are slowly driving around the world, 2-3 months at a time, in our self-converted Land Rover Defender. So far, we've driven through all 10 Canadian provinces, the US, and 9 European countries. It's currently parked in Denmark while we're at home enjoying the warm Canadian summer.

We've driven almost 33,000km in the past 14 months, so I now consider myself a road trip expert. However, there's always something new to learn!

Jen's style of travel has changed over the years. From her luxury travel experiences as a sales coordinator for Gulfstream Aerospace to her days pushing two strollers around Europe, her fascination with culture has remained constant. Her travel experiences give her insight into creating luxury family vacations with an emphasis on authentic experiences that will forever link her clients to their destinations.

In 2022, she was named a finalist in Virtuoso Travel Week's Luminaries, Legends, and Leaders in the category of Family & Celebration Travel. She has also been used as a source with publications such as Today, Forbes, The Washington Post, and USA Today to name a few.
