Travel Can Change Your Life

He who returns from a journey is not the same as he who left.
— Chinese Proverb

I believe travel can change your life and is transformational in many ways. The places you see, people you meet, and the culture you submerge yourself into creates growth and change.

My journey started with curiosity many years ago and although I didn’t realize what was happening at the time, this power of travel was changing my perspective on life. My daughter graduated from high school in the spring of 2018 and I became an empty nester. I used that time and my talent for interior design to create a space so others could hopefully enjoy lake Michigan in the same way I do. Warm ~ Inviting ~ and Comfortable ~ but mostly a tribute to a strong and beautiful woman. The Jenasea Southport Suite listed on Airbnb in October of 2018, and has been a wonderful adventure.

After designing another Airbnb that has been equally as successful, I made the decision to offer this fee for service to others as well. I believe creating the perfect space can be just as transformational as travel, and it just made sense to combine the two and help others tap into the same powers through design and travel that has changed me.

I soon realized that no journey carries on far unless, as it extends into the world around us, it goes an equal distance into the world within.
