I’m Jeanette Wages, a travel advisor with a lifelong love for exploration, storytelling, and savoring the world’s flavors. My first 20 years were spent immersed in Europe’s rich culture, history, and culinary traditions, giving me an insider’s perspective on everything from the rolling vineyards of Tuscany to the hidden cafés of Lisbon. My roots in Europe shape the way I design journeys—authentic, immersive, and always with a touch of poetry.
Before becoming a travel advisor, I spent years as a food writer, chasing the stories behind every plate and discovering how cuisine connects us to place and people. My passion for food and poetry infuses every itinerary I create, whether it’s a market tour in Rome, a sunset dinner in Croatia, or a hands-on cooking class in Greece. I believe travel should awaken all the senses, and I love helping my clients discover destinations through their flavors and stories.
As a solo mom to a dual citizen and internationally traveled toddler, I understand firsthand the joys and challenges of family adventures. Our slow mornings with coffee and snuggles are some of my favorite moments, and I bring that same sense of warmth and care to planning trips for families—especially those traveling with little ones. I know how important it is to find destinations, hotels, and experiences that welcome children and make parents feel at ease.
What sets me apart is my personalized approach. Every trip begins with a conversation—I want to know your dreams, your tastes, and what makes travel meaningful to you. My European upbringing and ongoing travels keep me up-to-date on the latest openings, hidden gems, and local secrets, from family-friendly resorts in Croatia to romantic vineyard dinners in Chianti. And while Europe is my specialty, I love booking journeys wherever your dreams may lead, from Caribbean escapes to cultural deep-dives in Japan.
Clients often tell me they appreciate my creativity, responsiveness, and poetic approach to travel planning. I strive to make every journey joyful, meaningful, and effortless—so you can focus on making memories, not managing logistics.
If you’re ready to plan your next adventure, I’d love to help you discover the world’s beauty, one unforgettable trip at a time. Whether you’re dreaming of a European grand tour, a sun-drenched honeymoon, or a family journey across continents, I’ll find the perfect fit for your style and budget—always with a dash of poetry and a taste of something delicious.

Jeanette is incredible!! She was an absolute gem throughout the process and took all the stress out of our travels. She communicated very clearly, efficiently, and timely. We were very scatterbrained planning our wedding leading up to this trip and because she handled everything on our trip, we were so relieved. She helped us so much and we are so thankful that we found her!! She was absolutely fantastic and we cannot rave about her enough. Any and all trips in the future that we plan on going on, we would love to work with her again! We also recommend her to all of our friends and brag about how amazing she was with us.
Working with Jeannette was a breeze. She was very attentive to our travel preferences ensuring we made the most of our time traveling. She was also available for support as we were traveling.
Jeanette has handled two international trips for me in the past two years. From all inclusives to day tours, she’s made every aspect of travel easy and has found me some great spots!! The worst part of vacation is comparing prices and booking things, I haven’t had to worry about a thing except relaxing and enjoying my trips
I’m delighted to follow up on my January post seeking a travel agent, and I’m thrilled to report that Jeanette Wages exceeded all expectations! Her exceptional responsiveness and ability to work within our budget made our Italian adventure truly unforgettable. We’ve just returned from our trip, and every aspect of it was perfect. The hotels Jeanette selected were outstanding, boasting central locations that allowed us to fully experience Italy. This trip marked a milestone – our 25th wedding anniversary – and Jeanette’s touching gesture of arranging champagne at our second hotel made it even more special. Before we left, she diligently checked in to ensure we were prepared, providing her contact information for any support we might require during our travels. Thank you, Jeanette, for crafting an extraordinary experience that will forever hold a special place in our hearts!
Live Local Travel Far has been my go-to for my upcoming adventures. I trust her to find the best of the best for whatever I’m looking for. When I get through this first round of trips, I’m going to tell her “I have X budget. Plan something. Tell me what weather to pack for, and email the stuff the morning I leave.”
My trip was a short one this time for a friend’s wedding in NC, and Jeanette helped with an amazing hotel reservation and local places to explore. She listened to my needs & delivered. My next vacation will be longer … and it will certainly include Jeanette’s help and expertise.
Germany is home for me, and every region holds a piece of my story. I grew up near Regensburg, wandering medieval lanes and riverfronts; spent my teen years in Heidelberg, falling in love with castle views and cobblestone streets; and witnessed Berlin’s transformation when the Wall came down. Booking Germany means sharing my roots—helping travelers discover historic cities, cozy cafés, and vibrant culture. From fairytale castles to dynamic Berlin, I love revealing the poetry and flavors of my homeland.
Italy is where my love affair with travel began—a place where every street corner tells a story and every meal is a celebration. I adore booking Italy because it’s a destination that delights all the senses: the aroma of fresh espresso in a Roman piazza, the golden light over Tuscan vineyards, the laughter echoing along Venice’s canals. Whether you’re wandering ancient ruins, savoring handmade pasta, or simply people-watching with a gelato in hand, Italy invites you to slow down and savor life’s poetry. It’s perfect for romance, family adventures, and solo journeys alike.
Croatia is my go-to for travelers seeking a blend of natural beauty, history, and adventure. I’m endlessly inspired by its crystal-clear Adriatic waters, medieval walled towns, and vibrant food scene. Whether you’re island-hopping with your family, exploring Dubrovnik’s ancient ramparts, or relaxing in a seaside villa, Croatia offers a sense of discovery at every turn. I love how easy it is to combine culture, relaxation, and outdoor fun here—plus, it’s incredibly welcoming for kids and solo explorers alike. Croatia is a place where every day feels like a new story waiting to unfold.
Japan captivates me with its seamless blend of ancient tradition and futuristic energy. I love helping travelers experience cherry blossom season in Kyoto, the tranquil beauty of a tea ceremony, or the neon buzz of Tokyo’s nightlife. There’s a quiet magic in Japan’s meticulous gardens, steaming onsens, and bustling markets. For families, the country is incredibly welcoming and safe, while solo travelers can find peace in a temple or excitement in city streets. Every itinerary I plan here is a chance to discover new flavors, customs, and moments of wonder.
