Jen Markus

Jen is the true definition of entrepreneur. She’s started and executed many successful businesses and projects – she loves to take risks, jump in with both feet, and learn as she goes.

Though her home base is Pittsburgh, one of Jen’s biggest passions in life is traveling the world. She loves experiencing the local food and culture wherever she goes. She’s traveled solo, with people she’s never met before, and headed out on many impromptu getaways and excursions with friends and family. She’s visited 49 countries across 6 continents and counting.

The co-founder and former president of a nonprofit organization dedicated to community revitalization, Jen views travel as an important way of economic vitality. As the left-side brain behind SafariSmiths, Jen’s attention to detail and eye for design are guaranteed to make planning your trip a fun and easy process.

Jen loves to share her experiences and frequently gets asked about her photos. You can follow along with her on Instagram at @jenmarkustravels.
