Who’s that girl… It’s Jess!

I'm a Greenville, SC-based travel advisor, blogger, and content creator with a deep love for adventures that take you somewhere unexpected — and the really good meal you find at the end of them.

With a background in marketing, event coordination, and project management, I've spent over a decade turning big ideas into well-executed experiences. That same instinct for detail and logistics is what makes me a good travel advisor and a good content creator. I love the process — the research rabbit holes, the itinerary drafts, and the hunt for the restaurant that locals actually go to.

My travels have taken me from the single-track roads of the Scottish Highlands to the coastlines of Cabo, and a lot of places in between. I specialize in adventure travel and culinary experiences, and I believe the best trips are the ones that actually reflect who you are — not just what's trending.

When I'm not planning trips or writing about them, you'll find me searching for a secret swimming hole, trying a new recipe, seeing live music, or snuggled up with my dogs.

Whether you're a traveler looking for someone to help plan something truly memorable, or a brand looking for a content partner who brings real experience to the table — I'd love to connect.
