Jessica Avery

A Traveler's Heart. A Strategists Mind.

I am an Arizona native with a lifelong passion for language, culture, and soft diplomacy. My journey into travel began early as a Student Ambassador to Sweden, Finland, and Russia. That trip sparked more than wanderlust, it shaped a worldview: that curiosity, connection, and adaptability are the real currencies of global travel.

What You Can Expect Working With Me

I bring resourcefulness, creativity, and calm to every itinerary I design. My clients often say my greatest value doesn't show when everything goes right, but when the unexpected happens. I excel at pivoting, solving, and re-aligning things with grace when travel goes sideways, so you never lose the magic of the moment.

If you want a seamless trip with a safety net, you're in good hands!

My Specialties

I specialize in private-guided, high-touch customized experiences that feel both exclusive and deeply personal. Whether it's a multi-generational family getaway, a once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon, or a first solo adventure, I design each journey with empathy, depth, and detail.

Every trip I design reflects the moment — attuned to today’s realities, travel trends, and what clients truly value right now.

And if you want to venture off the beaten path? Even better. I love curating travel that brings you to the heart of a place. The local gems, not just the headline spots.

Destinations I Love

While I haven't met a destination I don't like, my personal loves are:

- The Nordics (with a very soft spot for Denmark!)

- France & Italy

- Southern Africa

And now, the Balkans, where I live and continue to explore.

Rooted Abroad, Focused on You

In 2022, I relocated abroad to more deeply connect with culture, rhythm, and real-life immersion: an experience that continues to enhance the service I provide to clients.

Living internationally allows me to experience the pulse of global travel firsthand — and translate that into more inspired, meaningful journeys for my clients.

While I’m currently based in Europe to stay closely connected with the destinations I design, I continue to serve U.S.-based clients with ease. I keep U.S. hours, maintain a U.S. phone number, and ensure our communication is always smooth, responsive, and seamless.

Let's Create Something Extraordinary

Whether you're planning your first big trip or your tenth, I'd be honored to design something intentional, effortless, and unforgettable!
