Connection is- The energy that is created between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued. When they can give and receive without judgment.

About

I am a teacher of 31 years who decided I was ready for a change and thought the idea of still educating but in an open classroom style would be amazing. That is why I started guiding student tours, and absolutely fell in love with all aspects of the tourism industry! I live in a small rural town in Ohio, which I love, but traveling to bigger cities and exploring this great big world has always been something I wanted to do. Making connections with the students and adults in the tours is amazing. I love seeing and hearing all the excitement when they see something or hear something for the first time, and it makes an impact on them. I always say “no matter how many times I lead a group and see the same things over and over I still get goose bumps, and feel a rush of adrenaline.”

I look forward to connecting with you soon!!

Testimonials

"My travel group just LOVED Jenny! She was great! We had some unforeseen circumstances arise at the capital building, and were unable to visit due to protestors. Jenny communicated with our group to go over destination options. She had great ideas and was very flexible to suit all of our needs/wants. I would 100% recommend her to future groups. If I am able to make this trip again, I would LOVE to have her as our leader!"

"Jenny was really kind and knowledgeable throughout the time we had together. I am so grateful she was able to lead our group. Her positive attitude and confidence made our experience a great one! "
