With over 30 years of experience in the travel industry, Jenny is an expert in creating once-in-a-lifetime travel moments. This includes experiencing life-changing journeys herself and sending her clients on bucket list itineraries that will give them goose bumps for years to come.

“Organising a bucket list experience for someone, learning the ‘why’ of someone's trip and being able to deliver it is why I work in travel,” explains Jenny. “The challenge, variety and constant world education is what makes me look forward to coming to work every morning.”

One especially memorable trip that Jenny had the pleasure of organising was a group holiday to Oberammergau, the Bavarian town that hosts a famous once-a-decade Passion Play.

“It was actually a holiday that a congregation organised for their much-loved minister, who was entering retirement,” says Jenny. “The minister and a group of parishioners booked a pilgrimage to Oberammergau to experience the Passion Play, and then decided to make the most of things. It turned into a six-week private tour of Europe and Israel for 25 people! It was a very inspirational trip to book, and an honour to be part of the experience.”

Jenny has journeyed to Israel herself and recommends you choose your travel guide carefully when visiting this extraordinary country.

“Travelling through Israel in the footsteps of the Bible was a truly humbling experience. We had an amazing guide, who shared so much about the way he lived and the history of Israel. It would have been a completely different trip without his narrative.”

Looking for a voyage by sea? Jenny specialises in cruise, and believes there’s a perfect ship and itinerary for every traveller.

“From Antarctica to the Arctic and everything in between, there’s a cruise to suit all tastes. The world is 70% water so it makes sense to travel the waterways and oceans of the world on the most relaxing of holidays. The ship changes the scenery without you having to lift a finger.”

If you’re an adventure traveller, Jenny’s personal favourite cruise memory will make you turn green with envy.

“I had the most incredible time cruising the Antarctic Peninsula from Ushuaia. I experienced everything I ever dreamed an Antarctic cruise could deliver, and I’m not just talking magical landscapes of ice. I was lucky enough to see penguins, whales and walruses. I even took the Antarctic polar plunge off Deception Island! Now that is something I’ll never forget.”

For more marvellous experiences in nature Jenny recommends Iguazu Falls on the Brazilian and Argentinian border.

“You must stay at the Belmond Das Cataratas Hotel, where you can simply wander out your front door to view the falls. For a closer look, take the “Flight of the Angels”, a helicopter ride over Iguazu, or take a boat ride across the top or from the base to the Devil’s Throat. Two lesser known must-dos: the first light morning tour and the Bird Park.”

Get to know me

What is the most amazing experience you have created for a client?

I organised for my retiring minister and fellow parishioners to go on a tour of Europe. This included memorable experiences, like attending the Passion Play at Oberammergau and visiting Israel.

What is your number one travel tip?

Pack your suitcase and then remove half your clothes and shoes - you don't need to take it all. Also, packing cells are a must! No matter where you are or what you are doing, take a moment to just sit back and absorb the atmosphere; those moments of stillness are often the ones you remember the longest.

What are your favourite destinations and why?

Norway and Finland in winter are a sight to behold. Both countries transform into winter wonderlands, with their Christmas markets and festive atmosphere. Of course, the Northern Lights are a spectacle all on their own - and well worth the trip.

How do you go above and beyond for your clients?

I try to create something special and unexpected for my clients that will enhance their holiday. For example, a suggestion for a special restaurant or local dish to try, booking a unique experience such as an igloo stay, or arranging bespoke surprises that they'll love.
