For many, traveling is a dream come true. But sometimes that dream can be overwhelming to plan.
Travel agent Jennifer Sampley of Journeys By Jenn with Vincent Vacations specializes in alleviating her clients' stress when planning for new travel destinations. Based out of Rogers, she caters to individuals, couples, families, and large groups alike.
Jennifer says she and her family have always enjoyed traveling. So when her former career as a mortgage underwriter ended, she decided it was time to have a more fun job.
After completing extensive training from Vincent Vacations, Jennifer became one of only a handful of travel agencies working for the company in Northwest Arkansas. In the last two years, she has built up her clientele while continuing to enjoy her own travel.
“I love to see people travel, help them see the world and get away. I feel like it's a great career that helps people enjoy life to the fullest,” she says.
She has also put in the extra hours to become part of Signature Travel Network, gaining access to the group’s extensive destination and product expertise, exclusive privileges, complimentary amenities, and one-of-a-kind experiences.
Jennifer says she will tackle any travel wish that her clients bring her, helping them book air travel, accommodations, transfers, special activities, excursions, and more. She specializes in custom vacations and individualized travel plans tailored to the client’s priorities and budget.
She says she loves to arrange all-inclusive vacations, cruises, and trips to Europe. Her favorite vacations to plan are destination weddings and honeymoons because she believes it is such an iconic and special time in her clients' lives.
Jennifer says she has planned vacations with varying budgets and party sizes. She also hosts trips for groups of women who want to get away for a brief refresh.
“Traveling gives us a chance to unplug from our families and our responsibilities,” she says. “Whatever walk of life you are in, getting away helps to refill your cup, and when you return you can start pouring back into others.”
Jennifer's travel services are complimentary, and she can often save clients money through discounted amenities, breakfast add-ons, or travel insurance discounts.
Along with offering ease of planning, Jennifer says using her services also offers peace of mind.
“We are always thinking about our client’s protection, and taking care of them if any emergencies arise while traveling,” she says. “When things don’t go as planned, it’s good to have someone working for you.”
