Hi, I’m Jacki—your go-to travel itinerary planning expert!
Born and raised in Minnesota, I’ve always had a passion for exploring new places, discovering amazing food, and crafting adventures itineraries. For years, friends and family have turned to me for detailed, thoughtfully planned trips, and now I’m here to share those plans with you!
My Travel Philosophy
I believe travel should feel effortless, exciting, and tailored to you. Whether you’re camping under the stars, staying at a cozy bed and breakfast, or enjoying a chic boutique hotel, each trip should reflect your style and create lasting memories. I plan each itinerary with intention, so all the decisions are made before you even arrive, allowing for a stress-free trip without wasting time trying to figure out what to do once you’re there.
What You’ll Find Here
- Personal Itineraries: Every itinerary you see on my blog is based on real trips I have taken. They include our firsthand experiences, personal photos, and the must-know tips I’ve learned along the way.
- Restaurant + Hotel Recommendations: Most dining and lodging spots I recommend are places we’ve actually been to, but I also include a few carefully chosen options we didn’t personally visit, just to give you more ideas.
- Travel Tips: From packing advice to how to make the most of a weekend getaway, I love sharing practical tips that make travel easier.
- Gluten-Free Friendly Guides: As someone who eats gluten-free, I make sure to highlight great gluten-friendly places so you can dine with confidence wherever you go.
- Downloadable Itineraries: My guides are designed to help you hit “play” the moment you arrive. Download them to follow along, stay on track, and soak up the experience stress-free.
Meet the Team
Traveling is always better with a crew! I explore alongside my husband, James, and our adventurous Pomeranian, Bauer. When it’s a dog-friendly trip, Bauer is always in tow, especially for hikes, beach walks, and the occasional ice cream break.
