How I Got Started
Turning a love of travel into something more

I’ve always been the person who loves planning the trip almost as much as taking it. I enjoy researching, comparing options, and figuring out all the little details that make a vacation come together.

After years of working in hospitality and helping people create great experiences, starting Wander with Mama Jess just made sense. Now I get to take something I already love doing and use it to help other people make some pretty amazing memories. 💕
