Jessica Roberts is amazing. I told her the adventure I desired, my budget, and my desired dates. After searching exhaustively on my own, I found nothing. Jessica performed magic and found exactly what I was looking for, even though I gave her relatively short notice. I will seek her advice for all of my future travel needs. Thank you, Jessica!!
