Back in the 70’s, Jennie was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to travel extensively as a fashion marketing executive in NYC. She traveled to exotic ports, visited breathtaking sites, and experienced fascinating cultures.
She has made her passion for travel her life’s work-by founding The Travel Mechanic in 2011. Jennie's legacy is this business, one she was so passionate about. She was able to bring in her daugther . Lauren who now runs the company.  When Jennie wasn't dreaming up the next itinerary for her clients she was spending quality time with her  grandkids on the lake! She continues to be missed.

I am a Midwest born and raised small town gal, Enneagram 2w1, with a hunger to always be learning & growing. Lover of books, avid consumer of audiobooks & podcasts. I adore slow mornings on the front porch with a warm drink in my hand. I haven't met a flower I don't like, and in the warm months you are likely to find me in my flower beds dreaming about what flowers to add next {and maybe pulling a weed or two}.
