Big or small, near or far, Jennifer wants you to explore something new to you. For Jennifer, travel and vacations should be a joy, not a chore. Her tips are centered around taking the stress out of travel and finding the perfect vacation spots for anyone at anytime.
When Jennifer started her journalism career at ELLE Canada, she had her nose deep in the fashion and beauty world. Interviewing designers, makeup artists and models meant jetting off to Italy for behind-the-scenes tours of the Gucci leather factory, strolling through Oscar de la Renta’s Connecticut rose garden, and attending fashion weeks. But beyond the fashion, Jennifer was completely in love with exploring new destinations, sourcing local favourites, hidden gems, and places you don’t find in every guide book. So, she left her career in magazines to focus on travel, launching Travel & Style. Fast forward to today and she’s appeared on more than 25 TV stations on a regular basis.
Since then, she’s hiked Huayna Picchu twice, slept under the stars in the Wadi Rum Desert in Jordan, dived with great white sharks in South Africa, spent afternoons in fashion designer's backyards, and has likely eaten her weight in Portuguese custard tarts. Jennifer has travelled to 73 countries (and counting!) and typically (in non-pandemic travel times!) travels more than 20,000 miles a year. She’s one of those people who loves airports and airplanes (it’s the absolute BEST place for people watching), and has mastered the art of getting through security with just a carry-on in a breeze.
