Hi, I’m Jennie, also known as JJ!

I love adventuring whether it be a city or quaint town. Looking for the best brunch spots, hiking trails, and meeting locals are some of my favorite things to do. If you’re looking for:

  • Travel guides, travel tips, and budget-friendly adventures
  • Hiking trails & tips
  • Best brunch spots
  • ✨ interesting✨ stories

then you’re totally in the right place! Inspiring you to step out of your comfort zone and pursue your goals brings me so much joy. The adventure isn’t always what we plan or expect, but it makes it that much more fulfilling and rewarding in the end.

About Me

Graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Fashion Marketing, I’ve worked in various aspects of marketing from events, PR, advertising, digital marketing, and copywriting for 10+ years.

In 2016, I left my corporate marketing job in South Florida, started this blog, road-tripped across the United States, and moved to China! It was terrifying but ultimately one of the best decisions of my entire life.

I taught English, adventured around Asia, and made lifelong friends.

After 3 years in China, my adventures brought me back to the PNW in 2019. Managing life in therapy after the devastating loss of my mother has made me realize how my mental health is just as important as my physical health. I truly believe getting out in nature and doing the things you love is some of the best therapy.
