About Me

Welcome to Port Side Travel by Jill! Planning a vacation should feel exciting — not overwhelming. If you’re dreaming of a trip that’s thoughtfully planned, personalized to your style, and completely stress-free, you’re in the right place.

I’m Jill, the travel advisor behind Port Side Travel by Jill, and I help travelers turn ideas into seamless, memorable experiences while I take care of the details.

How I Help You Travel with Confidence

My mission is simple: to make travel planning easy, personal, and stress-free. I take the time to understand your travel style, preferences, and priorities, then handle every detail — from flights and accommodations to activities and excursions — so you can focus on enjoying the experience.

What truly sets Port Side Travel by Jill apart is the level of personal attention you receive. As a solo travel advisor, I work directly with you from start to finish, offering thoughtful guidance, expert insight, and dedicated support before, during, and after your trip. No call centers, no hand-offs — just one trusted advisor who has your best interests in mind.
