Jean Wells is an Independent Travel Consultant. Travel has always been a passion; having traveled to 43 countries and almost all of our beautiful States in this country during the past 27 years, I can honestly say that all destinations offer an overwhelming abundance of spectacular scenery, interesting people, great food, new cultures, and fun things to do every moment of each day. It is my wish that you will be able to take adventures you always dreamed about and at the best rates that can be found. Three key ingredients to creating a successful and interesting tour are the LOCATION, the QUALITY, and TIMING of your visit. Every effort will be made to add value to your tour by selecting accommodations in key locations, dining in historical restaurants, and planning the attractions based on your desires. I agree with Samuel Johnson when he said, “The use of traveling is to regulate the imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.” I look forward to assisting you with your travel needs and pleasures; meanwhile, keep "those travelin’ shoes ready!!"  336-725-1624
