The Best Journeys Change Us
Jennifer Ormesher
Europe • Africa • Antarctica • Custom Journeys
Some trips help you relax.
The journeys that stay with you do something more.
They leave you in awe of the world, deepen your connection to the people you're traveling with, and create memories that become part of your story.
I help curious travelers create personalized journeys through Europe, Africa, Antarctica, and beyond so they can experience the world in meaningful ways while enjoying every step of the journey.
Travel Should Feel Personal
The best journeys aren't built from templates.
They're built around the people taking them.
Many travelers are surprised to discover how different a trip feels when it's designed around their interests, travel style, and priorities. The goal isn't simply to visit a destination. The goal is to create an experience that feels personal.
I often describe my travel style as 50% Princess and 50% Explorer.
I love adventure, wildlife, and meaningful experiences. I also appreciate a beautiful room, thoughtful service, and a luxurious bath at the end of the day.
The best journeys combine discovery and comfort, wonder and ease. That's the kind of travel experience I love creating for my clients.
Experiences My Clients Love Most
Why Work With Me?
Travel planning involves countless decisions.
Where should you stay? Which experiences are worth your time? How do you balance seeing the highlights without feeling rushed?
As an ASTA Verified Travel Advisor, I meet a recognized standard of professional travel industry knowledge and ethics. I use that expertise to help simplify the planning process and provide guidance you can trust.
My role is to understand what matters most to you, provide thoughtful recommendations, and coordinate the details so your journey feels seamless from beginning to end.
You'll have an advocate, a planner, and a partner invested in your travel experience long before departure day arrives.
The World Is Bigger Than We Think
Growing up, most summer vacations were spent on my grandparents' farm. Travel wasn't always accessible, but books allowed me to explore the world long before I ever boarded an airplane.
Years later, I had the opportunity to visit many of the places I once only dreamed about. Standing among the ruins of Rome, watching wildlife in Africa, and stepping onto Antarctica's icy shores reminded me that the world is bigger, wilder, and more beautiful than I could have ever imagined.
Today, I help travelers experience places they've only seen in books, magazines, documentaries, and online.
Because some dreams deserve to be experienced in real life.
What Travelers Are Saying
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We were leery about using a travel advisor but once we started the process with Jennifer we knew we made the right decision. Every little detail was taken care of and we were able to enjoy our incredible tour of Scotland and seeing London on each end of the trip. I would 110% recommend Canopy of Stars Travel for any vacations that you are planning.

Travel Has Changed Me
The best journeys don't just show us new places. They change the way we see the world.
Some journeys change our perspective. Antarctica reminded me how precious and fragile our planet truly is. South Africa deepened my commitment to ethical wildlife experiences and responsible tourism. Those experiences continue to influence the partners I choose, the recommendations I make, and the kinds of travel experiences I create for my clients.
Other journeys change the course of our lives.
This trip to Havasupai was one of those moments for me.
Standing beneath a waterfall deep in the Grand Canyon, I found myself reflecting on where I'd been, where I was going, and what travel had come to mean in my life. It was during this journey that the name Canopy of Stars Travel was born and the vision for what would become my agency began to take shape.
Travel has taught me to be curious, courageous, and open to new possibilities. It has shown me the beauty of our world, the value of human connection, and the importance of stepping beyond what feels familiar.
I believe the most meaningful journeys leave us with more than photographs.
They leave us changed.
