Hi there, I’m Jackie!

I started traveling my freshman year of college when I was granted a full scholarship to study in China for a summer. I came back and immediately signed up to study for a semester in Costa Rica, where I fell absolutely in love with Central America!

I’ve since continued traveling solo (and sometimes with friends and family too) every opportunity I find.

Travel doesn’t have to be expensive.

A former teacher, and frequent student (currently I’m in grad school working on my MBA), I learned how to make the most of my budget to be able to travel more often and start having those bucket-list experiences I always dreamed of.

Now that I work remotely, I’ve been able to start taking longer trips and integrate more slow travel by taking workcations.

I started this blog to share that journey with you. I want to empower you to make the most of your time and your budget so that you can see the world and have those bucket-list experiences. I want to share my travel guides and experiences to help inspire you to get out there, travel more, and live the life of your dreams!
