About Us

Hi there! I'm Jen, an Aussie who loves hiking, skiing, indulging in a glass of wine, and savoring lazy days by the beach. My journey into the world of travel started the moment I received my first paycheck, and I haven't looked back since.

Growing up on Sydney's Northern Beaches, I developed a deep appreciation for the ocean and the charm of white sandy beaches. When life brought me to the United States, I found myself falling for the mountains, and now I’m lucky to call Steamboat Springs, Colorado my home.

Planning travel and creating unique experiences has always been my dream job. After a fulfilling career in People Operations, where I helped others grow their careers, I decided to follow my heart and channel my love for travel into helping clients craft unforgettable journeys and escape the day-to-day. I joined Fora Travel as an Escape Artist (a.k.a. Travel Advisor) because of their partner network and supportive community and then launched Jaunts and Journeys by Jen.

My husband, Robert, shares my love for travel. He's an avid photographer and videographer, bringing his creative talents to Jaunts and Journeys by Jen. Together, we've explored mountain towns and villages across the globe. In the Italian Dolomites and Swiss Alps, we discovered the magic of luxury train travel. The Bernina Express and Glacier Express opened our eyes to a sustainable way of seeing the world—relaxing, luxurious, and surrounded by breathtaking scenery.

At Jaunts and Journeys by Jen, we specialize in luxury train travel, mountain town getaways, and custom-curated escapes because that's where our hearts and expertise lie. Whether you're an adventure seeker or someone who loves to kick back with a beverage (or a 5-course meal with wine pairings) and watch the world go by, we’re here to make your travel dreams come true.

Our travel philosophy is all about low-key luxury—luxury trains, boutique hotels, unique experiences, and the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. Imagine a scenic train ride through the mountains, followed by a few days of hiking or wine tasting. Or perhaps unwinding at a chic urban hotel with a spa day or two. And, of course, every trip deserves a special 'splurge'—that little something extra to make your journey unforgettable.

Let’s connect! Together, we’ll unlock exclusive perks and upgrades through my relationship with Fora Travel's Preferred Partner Network and turn your bucket list into a reality.
