VICARIOUS VACATIONS

HI, I’M JESSICA!

Music teacher, cat mom, triplet, five-star home chef, planner extraordinaire, self-proclaimed “Yelp Queen.”

Hey, I’m so glad you’re here.

My name is Jessica, and I am a general music and choir teacher for incredible elementary and middle school students. I am in a year of exploration and transformation. I am in my sixth year of teaching, am living alone with my cat, Dorian, for the first time, and am diving into a lot of self-exploration as I approach my third decade on this earth. In that, my hope is to invest in passion projects like this one that help me feel fulfilled beyond the identity I have built around music and my job.

This is new for me, so welcome along on this journey! The idea behind “Vicarious Vacations” is to create dream travel itineraries for people in a way that takes the stress out of planning a trip while allowing me (selfishly) as a curious, type A, avid planner, researcher type to relish in all of the details for you.

So…take the quiz, choose the plan that suits you best, sit back, and gimme some time to work my magic.

“The purpose is to help you plan the trip of a lifetime while vicariously traveling through you and putting my self-proclaimed “Yelp Queen” title to the test.”

Traveler Testimonials

“This was our first trip to Europe and having an itinerary was such a great tool. It was great having activities planned out in an organized manner but still offered flexibility if we needed it. Jessica even went ahead and reserved some activities for us so we didn’t have to do it! I would definitely recommend her services if you’re like me and need the extra planning help!"

Tzipora & Kent
“Jessica did a great job planning our quick trip to Charleston! She took into consideration our previous plans (attending a wedding) and what we wanted out of the rest of our trip and was able to suggest activities, tours, scenic walks and recommend amazing restaurants that we would 100% visit again. She made it so easy for us to enjoy our vacation with much less mental load and planning, which is so worth it!!”

Alex & Nick
"This was my first trip abroad, and needless to say I was more than a little nervous. Jessica was able to completely alleviate those fears. She not only was able to find me comfortable and convienent Air BnBs to stay in, with consistently excellent food nearby, but also provide amazing recommendations for neighborhoods to explore. It was the perfect mix of planning and spontaneity, where i felt taken care of, but free to explore Japan as I had always wanted."
