Your Host: Jen Campbell, Owner & Lead Travel Designer

My passion for Europe is rooted in a life-changing experience: I didn't just study history; I watched it crumble. As an exchange student in Germany during the fall of the Berlin Wall, I witnessed a nation redefine itself overnight. I was there on the ground to witness history, spray-paint the Wall, and bring home pieces of that barrier—an experience that fundamentally shaped my perspective on travel and culture. That formative experience turned a year abroad into a six-year journey of deep immersion. Today, I leverage those years of living in Germany and my experience conducting several European tours to bridge the gap between 'tourist' and 'local' for my clients. I don't just show you the sights; I share the soul of the continent. 

That pivotal moment sparked a six-year journey of living in Germany and a lifelong obsession with the stories that shape Europe. Having conducted numerous tours since, my mission is to move far beyond the big-bus crowds. I lead international small-group tours for those who want to feel the heartbeat of a destination, not just wanting to check it off a "traveled to" list. 

 At Olde World Travel, we believe the best stories are found off the beaten path. With over a decade of industry expertise and a specialized focus on European small-group tours since 2017, we have curated a collection of authentic partners—from expert local guides and private drivers to our signature boutique, heritage stays. We leverage these long-standing relationships to craft seamless, intimate journeys that turn travel into a story you’ll tell for years to come. 

With 16 years of federal service and a background in professional management, I combine this deep historical connection with the precision of an expert planner. Ready to see Europe through the eyes of someone who's lived its actual history? Join one of my upcoming small-group departures and let’s discover the stories hidden behind these historic landmarks together.  

When you travel with me, you aren't just taking a small group tour; you are exploring the heart of Europe with a host who has lived its history.
