Meet Jennifer

Hi! I’m Jennifer — world traveler, itinerary wizard, and the founder of Joy by Journey. I help curious, fun-loving travelers create unforgettable adventures around the globe — without the stress of planning.

I believe travel should feel personal — not pulled from a cookie-cutter itinerary. My goal is to design trips that reflect your interests, energy, and style. Whether you crave food-focused adventures, history-rich tours, or sun-soaked escapes, I’ll handle the logistics so you can just show up and enjoy.

My love affair with travel began on my honeymoon to Italy — my very first overseas trip. Wandering cobblestone streets with gelato in hand, I felt something spark. As an Italian American, food has always been a central part of my life, and I quickly realized that travel was the perfect way to explore the world’s flavors, cultures, and stories.

Since then, I’ve been fortunate to experience some of the world’s most incredible destinations — from the Great Pyramids of Egypt to the Great Wall of China, from glacier-filled adventures in Alaska to vibrant street markets in Turkey. I’ve explored Hungary, Germany, Ireland, Austria, Mexico, Scotland, and more.

But my favorite place in all the world? Greece — with its unbeatable food, breathtaking history, and warm, joyful spirit.

I don’t have a bucket list — I have a bucket book! I want to go everywhere. Whether I’m river cruising in Europe, basking in the sun at my favorite all-inclusive in Mexico, sampling something wildly delicious in Asia, or exploring centuries-old ruins, I’m in.

Now, I get to help others experience that same kind of joy through travel — and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
