Jessica Traina is an independent travel advisor based in Ottawa, Ontario, with nearly a decade of industry experience specializing in fully custom, ground-up itineraries for Europe and Asia, all-inclusive vacations, honeymoons, and bucket-list travel. Having lived in 9 different countries across Europe and Asia, she is grateful to have become a true destination specialist firsthand. Her biggest passion in life is helping others experience the vacation of their dreams. She offers her curated planning and destination expertise to help couples, families, and solo travel-goers alike.
Jessica's path into travel advising started early. A lifelong fascination with the world led her to study in the Tourism and Travel program, where she simultaneously gained rare behind-the-scenes experience at a travel agency head office, learning supplier systems, booking logistics, and high-stakes problem-solving through events. She moved into a travel agent role from there, and after a transformative year-long hiatus to travel the world, returned to advising with — in her own words — "more excitement, knowledge, and drive than ever before." That foundation of operational expertise combined with real-world wanderlust is what sets her apart. Her travel philosophy is equally straightforward: "There is no such thing as a too far out idea — let's talk about it, let's make it work."
In addition to her knowledge of Europe and Asia, she has a wealth of all-inclusive and cruise planning experience in all regions of the Caribbean. She also specializes in the areas of foodie, nightlife, market, backpacking, and women’s travel.
Whether you’re looking to spend an afternoon in a German beer garden, relax on the best beach in the Caribbean, or adventure on a temple tour in Japan, she is ready to start planning your travels.
