About Me
Who am I? I’m a travel enthusiast who’s explored iconic cities, epic landscapes, and everything in between. I’ve walked in the footsteps of characters from beloved books and movies, marveled at breathtaking landscapes, and embraced the thrill of solo travel across multiple continents.
My journey into travel writing started with a love for storytelling. I spent years working in the film and gaming industries, where I honed my skills in bringing epic narratives to life. Eventually, I realized that the best stories are the ones we live ourselves.
I wasn’t always the confident traveler I am today. Growing up in California, I loved the idea of adventure, but it wasn’t until my first solo trip abroad to Austria that I truly understood the transformative power of travel. I’ve since explored places like Vietnam, Peru, Egypt, and Portugal, and while I may not be one of the country’s top travel bloggers (yet!), I’ve got plenty of stories, tips, and ideas to share.
Whether it’s the thrill of boarding a train through snow-covered mountains or the quiet joy of finding a hidden café on a cobblestone street, I’m here to help you discover the magic of travel for yourself.
So, let’s go explore!
Until our next adventure,
Jordan
