TIME-SAVING PLANNING

HI, I'M JILL FORD!

Personalized Travel Planning for Unforgettable Adventures

I love helping people see the world. From discovering new destinations to enhancing your trip with insider knowledge, thoughtful details, and carefully chosen experiences, I work closely with my clients every step of the way.
Whether traveling with my husband, our two college-age kids, with friends, or for work, I believe the best trips combine beautiful destinations, wonderful people, and unforgettable experiences.
I have firsthand knowledge and travel experience in destinations around the world including Europe, Asia, Central and South America, the Caribbean, Maldives, Alaska and Hawaii. I also have experience River Cruising and Ocean Cruising.
I look forward to helping with your travel plans, whether it's a bucket list destination, coordinating the logistics for a group trip, or unique ideas for your next vacation. We'll work together to take the stress out of planning and ensure your travel feels easy, personalized, and truly unforgettable.
- Jill

Jill listened to the style of travel we desired and really did a great job helping us find the best options.

SEPTEMBER 2025 | COUPLES ADVENTURE TO ITALY

Jill did a wonderful job finding the perfect location for our family to stay when we went to the Canadian Rockies. After discussing our preferred accommodations, she provided us with three choices and recommended Canmore over Banff, based on her research. Our location was perfect and we loved Canmore as it was quieter and not as busy.

Our California family vacation was a blast, thanks in part to Jill Ford! Working with JFord Travel was seamless and very pleasant! She was very knowledgeable and kept me informed and included with all decisions! She booked our flights and lodgings, and recommended different activities and offered to help book those as well. She was easy to get ahold of regarding questions before our trip, and during our trip. I would definitely work with Jill again in the future!
