About Luxury travel by Jess
Jess Peterman
My Story
Like many travelers, I’ve had vacations that didn’t live up to the excitement I felt when booking them. Instead of returning refreshed, I came home wondering why I spent so much on a trip that left me stressed and disappointed.
I noticed the same thing happening with friends and family. Some spent hours lost in research spirals, trying to piece together every detail, while others returned to the same destinations year after year just to avoid the hassle. But travel shouldn’t feel that way. It should be about discovering new places, creating meaningful memories, and enjoying the entire experience — without the frustration of managing logistics.
For a few years, I shared travel tips on my blog and social media, hoping to make trip planning easier. What I realized, though, is that most people don’t just need advice — they need a trusted partner who can design a trip around their needs, coordinate the details, and give them confidence that everything will come together the way they envisioned. When my youngest graduated high school, I turned my passion for planning into a full-time career as a luxury travel advisor.
What I do
Today, I specialize in custom European itineraries, river and ocean cruises, and group trips for couples, families, and friends who want thoughtful, seamless, and elevated travel.
How I Help
I take the overwhelm out of planning by transforming endless research into a clear, tailored plan. From selecting the right ship, cabin, or well-located hotel to arranging rail tickets, transfers, and timed-entry tours, I coordinate the details that often cause frustration. I also plan around real needs, whether that’s mobility accommodations, food sensitivities, or the convenience of connecting rooms.
To make each trip feel extraordinary, I add curated experiences such as small-group wine tastings, private architecture walks, or after-hours museum access — the kinds of moments that elevate a vacation into something unforgettable.
I work with a limited number of clients so each trip receives my full attention from our first call through your return home. We’ll begin with a complimentary consultation to discuss your wish list, timing, and travel style. If it feels like the right fit, I’ll outline next steps along with my one-time, non-refundable Concierge Care planning fee, which covers research, a tailored proposal, and ongoing support.

Why Clients Choose Me
Jess helped us set up this trip in every way possible, including making the airline reservations (including modifying them when an airline schedule change made one of the connections too close for comfort) and hotel reservations and setting up tours that we requested at Notre Dame, the Paris Opera House and Giverny. She must have excellent contacts in the travel industry because everything she set up was absolutely first-rate.
Jessica was a delight to work with. She organized 6 ladies to fly from different parts of the states and one from Canada to meet in Lyon, France. She organized all our travels, dinner reservations, hotels and transportations to our different venues. She was very thorough and prompt. I would definitely use her again.
Jess did an outstanding job of helping us plan a trip of a lifetime through the Mediterranean. From setting up our cruise, airport transfers, pre and post cruise tours and hotels, everything was perfect. It took a huge amount of stress and time off our shoulders having Jess plan everything. I would highly recommend her for any of your travel needs.
