Travel is in my DNA
Ilene, Founder & Owner, Tuckerz Travel
Travel has been woven into my life since childhood—exploring new places with family, immersing myself in Danish culture while studying in Copenhagen, and continuing to seek amazing experiences around the world in my adult life. What started as a gap year adventure for my husband and I became the catalyst for something new. We experienced firsthand what it means to travel with intention, to connect with locals, and to return home changed and restored by our experiences.
Now, after years in a corporate global marketing career for consumer technology brands I decided I wanted to help others explore our amazing world. This is what Tuckerz Travel is all about and why I started my own travel advising business.
Through my affiliation with Avenue Two Travel, a Virtuoso member, and our global partners on the ground, we’ll craft the perfect itinerary for your next trip.

Our Core Values
Respectfully Local
The most meaningful travel happens when we approach each place with genuine curiosity and respect for the people who call it home. We work with local guides and communities who share their knowledge willingly, creating connections that enrich everyone involved.
Sustainable Mindset
We choose partners who care about their communities. When you work with us, you're supporting local guides, family-owned businesses, and people who reinvest in their communities, helping preserve the places we all love to explore.
Thoughtful Craftsmanship
Every journey we plan reflects careful attention to your interests. We draw from our experiences and trusted local partnerships to craft experiences that feel personal and purposeful, balancing the places you've dreamt of with discoveries you never knew you wanted.
Inspired Exploration
Travel has a wonderful way of opening our minds to new possibilities. We design experiences that encourage you to try something different, engage with fresh perspectives, and return home with insights that stay with you.
Partnering with only the best.
