Ever start planning a trip only to find yourself 3 hours in on a Friday night with 14 tabs open on your browser and completely overwhelmed with the details so you give up and just book the all-inclusive instead? If that's you, you're missing out on a whole world of adventure!! Absolutely, trip planning is tedious, time consuming, and most of all anxiety inducing. Luckily for you, this is where I operate best. Traveling is in my soul and my idea of a wild Friday night is staying up until 2 am to plan my next itinerary while my husband is on shift at the firehouse. Call me crazy, but I love the planning part as much as the trip itself. I thrive when I get to explain to my husband what's next on the trip and the history behind the area or the exact dish we are going to try because the locals rave over it! I have love three types of trips depending on my mood. Where I shine in helping you plan is with # 2 and # 3. Though if you want my go-tos on # 1 set up a phone call and I will share all my faves! 1) All-inclusive resorts: Find me on the beach with an umbrella in the sand. No real planning on this one, just a few clicks of the mouse and my tropical beach vacay is booked and ready. 2) Epic road trips: think outdoors, hiking, historical towns, magnificent views, sunrise vortexes, fresh air and hitting your step count goals! I just live for planning road trip adventures. TBH when I plan ours I could spend upwards of 50+ hours and not even care because I enjoy every single minute of it. Cross checking blogs, yelp reviews, instagram tags, and more... I do a ton of research on these and it shows! 3) Weekend getaways: I love squeezing in random getaways when time or budget is limited. I explore how to most strategically spend entire day in a city to hit all the musts to maximize the visit: where the locals eat, drink, and sleep. Maybe some history too.

ABOUT
Hey guys! Jess here, and I am eager to share my travel finds with you! I specialize in planning epic itineraries for jam packed weekend getaways & longer adventurous road trips. What started as a love for travel and travel planning has developed into the idea of sharing my trips with others, because there is too much beauty in the world to gatekeep! A few late nights and a kick ass website later and my idea began to grow roots. I may be a beginner in the world of travel blogging but I can promise you my itineraries will serve you well. Just ask my husband: he has learned to just show up with his bags packed and I will take it from there. My specialties include: - Epic Road Trips - Detailed Itineraries - Weekend Getaways - Foodie Finds - Local hot spots - Hidden Gems - Adventures & Excursions About me: - Nurse Practitioner by day - Travel junkie late into the night - Married with two kids (11 & 4yo) - Prioritizing memories over material things - Never says no to a trip - Forever reading 2 books at a time Find me on instagram @jesstakethetrip or read my blog over at www.jesstakethetrip.com

Questions
Can I book more than one travel creator at the same time?
