Hello, I am Jess, I have been traveling ever since I was 6 months old and haven’t stopped. My first international trip was an escorted tour in Europe with my Senior English class. I remember how special that was and my Travel Director, Pablo, is the reason I wanted to be a Travel Director myself. He was so helpful and was knowledgeable about the cultures and locations we visited. I knew then that I wanted to help others experience the world. I began my journey as a travel agent and working for Walt Disney World. I wanted to be able to share more with the guests. I am now certified with IGA to be an International Tour Manager and that led me to Alaska. I fell in love with showing people the beauty and history of such an exotic place within the US. I have expanded with student tours in Washington DC and New York City. I believe its important to share the past with our future. I look forward to growing within the travel industry with my own new experiences in the coming year.
