Meet Our Team
Meet our team of creatives who bring the world to life through stories and snapshots. Whether it’s a winding backroad, a bustling market, or a quiet mountain sunrise, Jennifer, Nabil, and James each have a unique way of capturing the magic of travel, through words, through images, and always with heart.

Earning my CTA (Certified Travel Associate) designation wasn’t just about adding fancy letters to my name—it was about deepening my expertise and committing to the highest standards in travel. I believe that great travel advice comes from real knowledge, not just Google searches. And because Italy has a special place in my heart (and my itinerary), I went a step further and earned The Travel Institute’s Italy Destination Specialist designation. Translation? I know my way around Italy’s must-see spots, hidden gems, and the kind of experiences that turn a trip into the trip.

At Lodestar Travel Guide, we don’t just talk travel—we take it seriously. That’s why we’re proud to be accredited by the International Air Transport Association (IATAN), a recognition that puts us in the company of top-tier travel professionals worldwide. What does that mean for you? It means we hold ourselves to the highest standards of service, professionalism, and reliability. While we don’t book trips, we do make sure you have the best, most trustworthy travel insights at your fingertips. That little IATAN logo on our site? It’s more than just a badge—it’s a symbol of our commitment to helping you explore the world with confidence.
