- The Story
Built with Intention.
My name is Jess, and I am the heart, the hands, and the vision behind Elsewhere Travel Co. I started this business not because I needed something to do but because I needed something to mean something.
Elsewhere was built quietly, tirelessly, and with every ounce of intention I had left during one of the hardest seasons of my life. It came to life in the middle of foundation shattering grief.
I lost my mom. And when you lose someone who was so deeply woven into your everyday, you don’t just lose a person. You lose the version of yourself who thought there was always more time. You lose the comfort of “someday.”
It made me ask questions I had been avoiding: What am I waiting for? Why do I keep putting things off? Why do we treat our dreams like they can wait and like life will pause long enough to let us get around to them?
Travel has always been something I loved. I have always found something comforting in of going somewhere new. In the way a new place strips away the noise and gives you back to yourself. In the freedom of being somewhere that doesn’t know your story yet. It allows you to meet new people, experience new cultures, and truly embody you.
So I took what I love. I combined it with what I lost. And I built something that felt like both a tribute and a promise.
So – after all of that Elsewhere Travel Co. was born. It is my answer to a world that keeps telling us to wait. It is the business I had to build for myself but also for you and I am so grateful you’re here.

- What We Believe
Travel Is More Than
a Vacation
It’s one of the most meaningful things you can do with your time, your energy, and the people you love.
Freedom
Travel gives you permission to step outside your routine, your responsibilities, and your everyday self and just breathe.
Connection
The world opens up. You connect with new places, new people, and most importantly with the people you bring along.
Experiences
Not things. Not possessions. Moments. Sunsets. First tastes. Sounds you’ve never heard. These are what stay with you.
Meaningful Moments
These trips become part of your story. Part of who you are. That’s what I want to help you create something that lasts.
Jess — Founder, Elsewhere Travel Co.
"I started this business because I know what it feels like to wish you
had done more and been more present with the people you
love while you still had the chance."
Every trip I plan carries that weight. The beautiful, meaningful weight of knowing that this moment matters.
Your honeymoon matters. Your family vacation matters. The girls’ trip you’ve been putting off for three years? It matters. And you deserve someone in your corner who treats it that way.
I am truly honored to be even a small part of your story. Whether this is your first trip or your fiftieth, I will show up for you with the same care, the same intention, and the same quiet promise. This trip will be worth it.
With love, Jess
