hello! i’m jess
traveler, dog lover, & gardener in progress
Hey there, I’m Jess, a travel-loving lifestyle and garden blogger on an epic mission to explore the world from top to bottom – literally. If you’ve landed on my blog, it means that adventure is calling your name!
Since I was just six months old, my passport has been stamped in over 30 countries across 4 continents with no sign of slowing down any time soon.
Whether in my own backyard or across seven continents – through this space I want to share with y’all both what can be found out there as well as within ourselves when we take those journeys of discovery.
Let me guide you so together we may discover more than just sights & cities —we’ll open our eyes wide enough to find something much bigger: Ourselves!
Gardening was never an activity I saw myself enjoying. In the wake of the very unexpected passing of my beloved yellow Labrador Nicole in December 2021, however, sorrow and grief led me to take solace in a new hobby – one that brought joy back into my life as it helped heal wounds through nurturing plants over time.
I’m on a mission to live my greatest life, filled with fulfilling experiences and moments of inspiration. Through my content, I hope to arm you with the knowledge & advice needed for this journey!
