Hi, I’m Jeremy! I'm a travel planner who brings first-hand experience from 30+ countries into every itinerary and trip I plan. I’ve spent the past several years as a full-time traveler, living the “digital nomad” lifestyle and learning the ins and outs of travel destinations in South America, Southeast Asia, and Europe. I've lived in places like Mexico City, Indonesia, Croatia, Brazil, and many more. My on-the-ground experience means I know more than what shows up in a ChatGPT question or Google search. I know the hidden gem towns, local food spots that will blow your mind, and all the tips and tricks that will allow you to have a trip that is smooth and easy. I’m also a Fora-Certified travel advisor, which gives me access to an extensive travel agent network. That means VIP perks, upgrades, and insider connections at some of the world’s best hotels and resorts. And when you’re on your trip, I’m available as your concierge support. So, if plans change or you want a last-minute adjustment, I’ve got you covered. What I can help with: - Full itineraries (balanced with both structure & free time) - Flights, accommodations, and transportation - Local tours, excursions & food recommendations - Group trips, honeymoons, and bucket-list adventures - Simple research & trip planning support - Concierge assistance during your trip Why work with me? Unlike many travel advisors, I’ve actually lived it. I know how to design a trip that feels smooth, exciting, and fulfilling because I do it for myself and my clients every day. I can help you avoid tourist traps and common planning headaches. Whether it’s a honeymoon, a work trip, or an around-the-world adventure, I’ll handle the details so you can focus on enjoying the experience. I also freelance as a copywriter and blogger, writing website copy, travel content, and sports blogs. If you need sharp, engaging writing for your brand or publication, I'd love to work together.

I love traveling, hiking, and exploring the outdoors, and my writing showcases this passion. I have been a freelance travel writer for over five years, working with 50-plus companies. I work very independently and have a 100% success rate with deadlines. Just provide me with detailed and clear instructions, and I can easily create the content. While writing about travel is my niche, I also write for a variety of publishing companies on a variety of topics from maintenance to wellness. Any topic you provide, I can write about it. I also have experience with WordPress, SEO, Yoast SEO, Google Docs and so many more platforms. My published Work is in my online portfolio, which is provided via a link. I have attached a few articles below as well. You can also read my personal travel blog, Wine Wilderness Wanderlust, which is a site I created on WordPress.

Writing has always been a passion of mine. As a child, I loved making up stories; I had an active imagination as a young girl. I never thought I could make a career out of writing, and I chose a different path when I entered college. In 2010 I moved from Queens, New York, to Orlando, Florida. I participated in the Disney College Program, thought hospitality was my calling, and decided to return to school for hotel management. After seven years in the hospitality industry, though, I realized this was not what I wanted to spend the entirety of my life doing. Before Covid-19, I worked in a preschool as an assistant teacher. I love working with children, but something was still missing from my life. No matter where I worked, I was unhappy and planning to leave within months. When my school closed in March 2020 to combat boredom, I started listening to crime junkies and watching hours of Dateline. I found what was missing in my life when my obsession with true crime began. It took a pandemic, but I figured out what I wanted to do with the rest of my life: share stories of victims and their murderers. Victims deserve to have their stories shared because no one deserves to lose their life at the hands of another. Murderers should have their stories shared so people realize not everyone is what they seem and not to be paranoid but be aware of who and what is around them. Now, I write full-time as my career. I am lucky to work at home with my husband and two cats. My entire day is devoted to writing. Your project will be in safe and reliable hands if my proposal is accepted. Thank you for taking the time to read this! I hope to work with you soon!
