Jeanette Wages

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.

My specialties include:

• Honeymoons & Romance Travel: I’m a romantic at heart and delight in crafting bespoke honeymoons and anniversary trips that blend luxury, local flavor, and personal touches. Each journey is as unique as the love story it celebrates.
• Family Travel with Young Children: Drawing from my own experiences, I create stress-free, enriching adventures for families, with seamless logistics and plenty of fun for kids and grownups alike.
• Value-Driven Planning: I’m committed to finding the best value for your budget, leveraging industry connections and insider knowledge to secure exclusive perks, upgrades, and unforgettable experiences.

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.

Some of my favorite trips to plan include:

• Multi-country honeymoons through Italy, Switzerland, and Croatia, featuring boutique hotels and immersive local experiences.
• Family-friendly escapes to Ireland, Portugal, and the Caribbean, with thoughtful touches for parents and kids.
• Bucket-list adventures in Asia, like cherry blossom season in Japan or a Bali villa retreat.
• Solo travel focused on grounding and relaxation or packed full of adventure.

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.
