ABOUT ME
Travel isn’t about escape — it’s about returning to who you really are.
Thanks for stopping by — I’m Jake, the guy behind this corner of the internet.
Nine years ago, I packed a small backpack, booked a one-way ticket, and told myself I’d travel for six months. I never really went back.
MY SOCIALS
About the traveler
My Inspiration
Travel isn’t just about new places, it’s about new perspectives.
Every journey changes you, piece by piece, until you start to see the world and yourself — differently.
If this space inspires you to chase your own horizon, then it’s already done its job.
Life Before Travel
After college, I landed my first 9–5 at a Fortune 500 company, the kind of job everyone says you should want.
But sitting in that cubicle, I couldn’t shake the feeling that life was slipping by.
I wanted more than routine. I wanted to move, explore, and actually live.
So I worked hard, saved $15,000, and then one day — I quit.
How I Became a Travel Blogger
What started as a leap of faith became a lifestyle.
I began documenting my trips — not for fame, but to remember. To share raw, unfiltered moments from the road: the chaos, the calm, the people, the lessons.
Over time, that passion grew into a community of readers who felt the same pull toward freedom and adventure.
Today, this blog is more than travel — it’s a space built on courage, curiosity, and a deep respect for the world we live in.
Now I Travel Full-Time
I travel full-time and built a life around stories, freedom, and discovery.Travel isn’t just about places, it’s about perspective and I’m here to help you find yours.
If you’ve been dreaming about breaking free from the 9-to-5, now’s your time.
Start your journey, travel smarter, and live on your own terms.
Your drive has to be stronger than your fear
