About Us
Welcome to The Travel Folk!
The Travel Folk is an online travel publication bringing you curated Europe guides with local recommendations. We are slow travelers at heart and spend a lot of time getting to know a place through its people, culture, and cuisine.
Each article on our site is thoughtfully written and researched. Don’t expect an itinerary filled with just the “touristy” spots, we go beyond the norm to discover lesser known gems, under-the-radar destinations, and locally loved restaurants.
Our mission at TTF is to help you experience Europe through the lens of a local and to have a more meaningful trip. Thank you for reading!
Meet Jenoa, Founder of Travel Folk
Hello, my name is Jenoa, and I am the Founder of Travel Folk.
I am a writer, photographer, traveler, and designer based in the United States. Every year, I spend months in Europe researching the best hotels, restaurants, sights, and hidden spots for our travel guides.
My love for travel started at an early age and a trip to France in high school changed everything for me. Since then, I have traveled to over 38 countries. In 2019, I spent one year traveling the world with my husband, from Southeast Asia to New Zealand and the Middle East. I also co-founded a small group tour company focused on French and Italian gastronomy and run a design hotel website called Artful Hotels.
Finally, in 2021, I started Travel Folk with the goal of helping you have a more authentic, local, and inspiring trip to Europe.
