Hi, I’m Jessica. I’m the person you’ll be planning and swapping travel stories with before you ever pack your bags.

The Tethered Compass started with a simple goal: to help people travel in a way that feels easy, exciting, and personal. I’ve planned everything from backpacker-style adventures and road trips with a toddler to elegant honeymoons, luxury getaways, and fully curated all-inclusive escapes. Travel doesn’t have to look one specific way- what matters most is that it fits you.

I know how overwhelming it can be to plan a trip, especially when time is tight or options feel endless. That’s where I come in; I love pulling the pieces together, whether you're looking for hidden gems and local flavor or a seamless, upscale experience with every detail handled.

When we work together, you get someone who pays attention to the details and designs a trip that feels intentional and enjoyable. Whether this is your first big vacation or you're already on your fifth passport, I’m here to make it easier.

If you’ve been craving a getaway that fits your life and your travel style, I’d love to help you make it happen. Think of me as your tether - a steady presence to ground your plans - and your compass, gently pointing the way toward something unforgettable.
