I'm Jessica!

Who am I? I’m not a digital nomad or backpacker. I have a demanding full-time career but still find ways to fit in tons of travel. I believe that sometimes you save and sometimes you splurge, and I’ll help you figure out how to have the best experiences regardless. My goal is to go everywhere, see everything, eat all the pastries, and soak up as much food, wine, culture, and amazing views as I can in this crazy life!

And that's how I ended up at tiny Clonakilty Distillery for a tour & tasting. AND then how I ended up at wild and windy Galley Head, to see where the brand's barley is grown.

You don't have to look far to find your own privat You don't have to look far to find your own private beach in Naxos...sure, there are plenty of "official" beaches to choose from, but I preferred just driving down the coast and stopping when I found a gorgeous secluded spot that I could have all to myself 😍🏝
