Hi, I'm Jessie
I started traveling solo when I was 20 years old, and began documenting my trips on jessie on a journey in 2011.
Today this blog is my full-time business, and 99% of the stories you'll read on here are about my adventures exploring the world on my own (even though I'm engaged!) in search of offbeat sites, active adventures, and sustainable experiences.
A little bit about me:
- Some of my favorite travel destinations include Latvia, Slovenia, Thailand, Guadeloupe, Bhutan, Argentina, and Spain.
- I've been featured in top publications like USA TODAY, CNN, Business Insider, and AOL Travel, as well as a web series with Bravo and a featured guest on BBC Travel (TV).
- I've spoken at notable travel conferences like the TBEX, TravelCon, the Women In Travel Summit, Women's Travel Fest, the New York Travel Festival, iSugar Live, Find Spark, and more!
- I truly believe that with the right mindset you can achieve absolutely anything. Trust me when I say taking my first solo trip was terrifying and loved ones tried to talk me out of it. But I wanted it so badly I didn't allow myself to make excuses. Instead, I shut out social influences and listened to my own voice. The time to travel is *now* 🙂
