Have you ever felt like you weren't meant to do what you were *supposed to* do? Yea, that was me after graduating from the State University of New York at Albany with my BA/MA in Communication. It was 2011 -- before "travel blogging" was really a thing -- and my loved ones looked at me like I had three heads when I told them I wanted to skip the whole 9-to-5 thing in lieu of traveling the world so
lo and documenting it online. "But is that safe?"
"Women shouldn't be traveling on their own." "But what if the whole blogging thing doesn't work out?"
"Aren't you worried about meeting someone and settling down?"
These were just a few of the negative sentiments I had to tune out in order to make my dreams a reality. And today I travel the world -- mainly solo, sometimes with my husband Andy (because yes, even travelers can find love). I document these travels on my popular solo and adventure travel blog, Jessie on a Journey, which today serves as my full-time self-made career. Because yes, it is possible to do what many tell you is impossible :)
Jessie on a Journey offers an honest look into my adventures, advice, and detours. Whether you’re a solo traveler craving spontaneity, a wanderer in search of more than your typical sightseeing, or a blogger with dreams of making travel a profitable lifestyle, this is the destination for you to bring more meaning and fulfillment to your journey. Awaken your curiosity as I share real-talk and resources for exploring the world — and experiencing life — . I'd love to hear from you either here on Facebook or via email at [email protected].
