We had such a great experience working with Jenn. She turned around our trip details so fast and was responsive our entire trip if we had any questions. She even sent us tips to make the most of our trip. She was absolutely wonderful to work with and made planning our trip so much less stressful. We recommend working with her 100%!
Cut Off, LA Cambodia ~ East and Southeast Asia
I've already recommended Jenn Nix to 2 coworkers. She was very detailed and communicated frequently. She was dedicated to insuring my family and myself had the best possible experience. She was always quick to respond to any questions.
Brimfield, MA Iceland ~ Europe
Jenn was professional, kind, and working together was a very pleasant experience. Jenn listened well, was most responsive to our many questions (!) and offered planning tools that were uncomplicated and easy to use. Jenn went out of her way during the planning process to communicate new information and new "tips." She also responded immediately to a question we had while we were traveling. The best "review" is that I have already recommended Jenn to our dearest friends who plan to travel to Scotland in 2024.
Birmingham, AL Maine ~ USA
Jenn was great from planning to during the trip! She was helpful and listened to our interest in the planning phase, as well as our budget. She was always very responsive when we had questions and that continued through the entire trip. Importantly for us, she was not pushy at all. She let us be as independent and involved as we wanted to be while taking of the things we asked her to. If you are planning a trip and want someone to work hard and well for you, definitely contact Jenn!
Birmingham, AL Spain ~ Europe
Jenn was excellent with communication and providing us the materials we needed to be prepared for our first international trip. There were a few items we needed related to COVID; she answered our questions promptly. At the same time, she also provided us restaurant and bar recommendations that were perfect for when we weren’t site seeing. One of the best trips of our lives, and we probably would have had a completely different experience without her. Thank you, Jenn!
Pine Mountain, GA Georgia ~ USA
She made everything so easy. Our trip was fantastic!
Birmingham Mobile ~ Alabama ~ USA
Jenn's suggestions on our recent trip made me feel like a local! Whether it was suggesting restaurants that cater to my dietary restrictions, finding places we can take our dog to have an afternoon drink, or the best hikes in the area... Jenn found the perfect places for me & my family to visit. It's great to have someone who is willing to do the research, plan the perfect day, and also follow up with you after your trip. Jenn's attention to detail and thoughtfulness is one of the many reasons everyone should travel with Fork & Leaf Travel!
Rumford, RI Scotland ~ Europe
Jenn was quick to respond to any of our enquiries before our trip and while we were traveling. We found the Trip Plans App surprisingly easy to use and very helpful indeed. All our details were provided with full explanations and sightseeing recommendations. We loved her choice of inns and hotels and their locations. She easily accommodated our visits with friends/family enroute.
Mobile, AL, USA France ~ Europe
Great experience with Jenn exploring our wants and interests and providing comprehensive planning and concierge services for a 31 day European vacation for a very reasonable fixed fee.
Birmingham, Alabama Italy ~ Europe
Jenn Nix was a pleasure to work with in our planning process and also providing an impressive framework to help guide us through memorable cities in Italy! You can tell Jenn enjoys learning, finding solutions and is undaunted by the challenges of making a trip a success for her clients.

Birmingham, AL Portugal ~ Europe
Jenn was so wonderful to work with planning our trip. She gave great advice for packing and planned great activities based on our interests.
Alabama Canada
Jenn took an idea and dream , and turned it into reality. All delays or changes were promptly addressed and handled, although it was a rather complicated itinerary sprinkled with family visits across North America. The High School Graduation gift with Senior Portraits from me, the Grandmother, went without a hitch and could not have been lovelier. From Wisconsin, to California and the Muir Woods, up the Coast on a train, and then into British Columbia to the beautiful Victoria. Safety was a main concern traveling with a young girl, and Jenn made sure we were safely placed in each location.
Apopka, FL Peru ~ South America
Fork and Leaf Travel did an amazing job planning every last detail for my family’s 2 week trip to Peru and Argentina. All the transfers between airports and hotels were perfectly organized and made the traveling process for us smooth and easy. The restaurant recommendations were top notch including Mayta in Lima. I would call this place a Michelin star restaurant that hasn’t been discovered yet. The excursions that were planned went off flawlessly. Our favorites were our trips to Machu Picchu and the Perito Moreno Glacier. Our Travel advisor, Jenn, was on top of every aspect of our trip from beginning to end. Because of her efforts, this trip was filled with unforgettable memories that I will forever treasure. We are already counting down the days until we get to go on our next adventure. I can’t wait to let her plan it!
Birmingham, AL Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico

Jenn hit all of our “wants” for this amazing vacation. She listened and delivered. If you want a stress free and relaxing vacation then Jenn is your agent!
Birmingham, AL Mexico
Jenn made the planning and execution of our trip to Mexico effortless. Not only did the family absolutely love the resort she found for us, the tour company she booked for our excursion provided exceptional service.
Irondale, AL Costa Rica ~ Central America
We had such an amazing experience working with Jenn. She was so helpful from the very first email and we could truly tell that she cares about her clients. We had a hard time deciding where to travel to for our honeymoon and she helped us narrow down the search while always keeping our budget in mind. The travel plans were all organized and ready far in advance. During the trip the itinerary was easy to access in a mobile app and we were able to share the itinerary with family with no issues. Jenn walked us through every step and made the entire trip amazing!!
Birmingham, AL Bahamas ~ Caribbean
Jenn was thoughtful and communicated ideas for the cruise that would suit my dietary needs and interest in local culture and ship activities and excursions. She went out of her way to help me plan items to pack, to make sure all of my documents were ready on time, and followed up once my trip started to make sure all was going according to plan.I have not worked with a travel agent as personable, active in planning, and detailed oriented as Jenn. I tell all of my friends about Fork and Leaf Travel. I do not have time to plan trips like I used to do and small but important details overwhelm me. Jenn was able to handle all of those and the issues that came up like rebooking the flight and finding a hotel when the disembark time changed. She was simply amazing and reassured me that everything would work out. I had more fun on this trip than I have in years, and I didn't have to plan any of it! Thank you, Jenn!
Montgomery, AL Belize ~ Central America
Jenn is attentive, even when dealing with members of our travel party that had a lot of questions. She was thoughtful at helping us consider our options and make the best possible choices. We are really glad we used her. She saved us time and worry during a challenging trip-planning process.
Birmingham, AL Charleston ~ South Carolina ~ USA
Jenn is the best at picking the best local restaurants at whatever your price level! She also finds the most interesting entertainment and activities to give you an experience of the local community. You won't be disappointed!
Knoxville, TN Alabama ~ USA
She readily provided all the information we needed to find the rental, and included all the information needed to plan and prepare. The accommodation was exactly as stated.
Birmingham, Alabama Georgia ~ USA
I loved working with Jenn! Not only did she do extensive research for us, she also included personal examples of places she's visited. She also responded quickly to any questions we had before and during the trip! Can't wait to use Fork and Leaf Travel again!
Birmingham, AL St. John Island ~ Virgin Islands ~ Caribbean
Jenn was amazing and fully coordinated the most amazing trip I have ever been on to St. John USVI! From the Eco Tents to securing the Jeep, great places to eat, and amazing snorkeling, I could go on and on and can't wait to go back based on the experience by Jenn!
Montgomery AL Nashville ~ Tennessee ~ USA
Our Nashville family reunion was thoughtfully designed by Jenn to provide a great trip for all of us. From the moment we arrived everyone was directed to their lodging locations and was welcomed with a basket of fruit and snacks along with a schedule to include coveted tickets to the Blue Bird Cafe. Group tickets were purchased ahead for our tour of the Parthenon and a prearranged picnic lunch provided once we finished our tour. Plenty time was allotted for visiting along with small group excursions to the farmers’ market and a nearby nature area. Overall Jenn’s knowledge of the Nashville area and her incredible attention to detail made for an exceptional gathering as underscored by the positive comments from family members.
