Hi, I’m Jen! I’m a chronic overpacker, coffee lover, and firm believer that travel — whether solo or with friends — doesn’t have to be lonely or expensive. My travel journey started with a simple goal: to see more of the world without waiting for the “perfect” time.

I’ve explored 18 countries across Europe and North America, and each trip has taught me something new. From figuring out foreign transportation systems to wandering charming streets, I’ve learned to embrace both the challenges and the small joys of travel . Whether its chatting with locals over coffee, stumbling upon a hidden gem, or finding a quiet spot to read and watch the world go by. Travel has shown me that the best experiences often come from the unexpected moments.

I grew up on Long Island, NY, and now study at the University of Florida in Gainesville, trading northeastern life for sunshine and palm trees. I lived in London for 4 months during my junior year fall semester where I spent most weekends traveling to various European countries. When I’m not planning my next adventure, you can find me practicing yoga, hanging with my family/friends, reading a good book, or trying every new café in town.
