• Are you overwhelmed with planning your Alaska trip?
  • Do you want destinations and activities that are fully customized to the dreams and needs of your crew?
  • Do you want to feel confident that you have the perfect itinerary and activities for your crew?
  • Not sure whether see Alaska by cruise ship, by riding the rails on the Alaska Railroad, self driving itinerary, or some combination?

How does it work?

My super power is asking the right questions to craft the perfect itinerary for you and your travel crew to ensure the trip of a lifetime.

In addition to being a professional travel advisor, I lived in Alaska for seven years and I still spend several weeks each year working as an Alaska guide. I know what's it's like to live and travel in Alaska as a local, a guide AND a visitor - all over the state from the Inside Passage to Fairbanks.

"Though we are experienced travelers and trip planners, we were overwhelmed trying to figure out our trip to Alaska. Jennie was so knowledgeable and helpful. Before she made any suggestions, she she talked with us to understand what we were hoping for and what kind of travelers we are. She figured out an itinerary that fit us perfectly. Once we got to Alaska, we discovered that Jennie's itinerary for us was perfect."
