Listen up cruise fans! Jenny has been on almost 30 ocean cruises and visited more than 100 countries by land. In addition to her personal cruise experience; she is certified as a cruising specialist with Cruise Lines International Association. So, whether you’re a novice or a veteran, Jenny has some incredible cruising knowledge that’s sure to float your boat.

Jenny says, with so many places to see and not always enough time, the key to a great holiday is to research your destination and plan your days. “It’s the only way to make sure you get the best value out of your holiday,” she says.

Fortunately for you, this is what Jenny loves most, and after working as a Travel Manager for almost 30 years, she’s pretty darn good at it too. “I love spending my days talking to others about their travel aspirations and helping them to realise their dreams,” she says. “The only thing that beats it, is hearing all about their adventures when they return.”

Speaking of adventures, Jenny sure has had a few of her own. On a trip to Iceland, she added on a couple of days in Greenland and says it was one of the most interesting places she has ever been. “It was amazing – the midnight sun, the huskies, the way people live there,” she recalls. “It’s so remote, the scenery there is unrivalled.”

Jenny says another facet of travel she loves is getting up close to wildlife. “When you’re in Canada, try and see the bears,” she suggests. “Whether it be the polar bears of Churchill or the grizzly bears of British Columbia.”

For those more risk-averse, Jenny says you can’t go past the magic of Egypt. “If you love history and architecture, you’ll love Egypt,” she says. “It’s really moving, especially if you can share its mystique with someone special.”

Few people are as well travelled and experienced at coordinating travel as Jenny. If you can secure an appointment with her, your next holiday is already off to a promising start.

Get to know me

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

I planned a surprise wedding in Prague for a group of clients, flying family members from all over the world and making sure they had suitable, top-notch accommodation so they could all be together for the event.

What are your favourite destinations and why?

I highly recommend Egypt for unrivalled history, the Arctic and Antarctic for the landscapes and wildlife, the Middle East for architecture, Japan for culture, and the Kimberley for remote beauty.

How do you go above and beyond for your clients?

I always tell my clients that I'm available 24/7, whenever they need me. For me, many clients become friends, so it's important to me that they have a reliable travel advisor who is just a call away.

Where is still on your bucket list?

I still have a few places on my bucket list, starting with Mongolia, Tibet, touring Central America, and attending the Harbin Ice Festival in China.
