About Me
I’m Jessica, a California girl with a heart full of wanderlust and passion for discovering new places. Growing up, the international terminal at Los Angeles airport always felt like the gateway to adventure. Later in life, a semester in Spain opened my eyes to the world in ways I never imagined. After returning from Spain, I moved to New York City, drawn by the big-city energy, and ended up staying for seven years. Bonus: it put me even closer to Europe!
I now get to experience the world through the eyes of my two kids. Their wonder and curiosity has brought on a whole new meaning to pursuing memories.
I love finding hidden gems—whether it’s a quaint hotel, a cozy restaurant, a unique shop, or a charming street.
I’m here to spark your curiosity and encourage you to explore the world!
