The Road Jess Traveled

follow your own path.

welcome to the road jess traveled

here's a little backstory...

My name is Jess! I am the official author behind this blog, The Road Jess Traveled.

Think of me as “your friendly neighborhood travel guide.”

I live a digital nomad lifestyle and travel full-time with my partner, Steven.

While we’re not quite locals and not quite your average short-term vacationers, we do offer the perspective of looking at places through a unique lens of long-term stays, accumulated knowledge, and profound appreciation.

Let’s set the scene for what’s ahead: Envision that you and I are meeting up at our favorite local coffeeshop. You are so excited because you’re looking to expand your bucket list and might even be ready to plan some travel!

I am sitting here with you, someone who has lived it myself, and I’m excited to unpack everything I learned on my journey so you can have the experience of a lifetime.

let's go!

the light around you is also within you.

about jess

Some Fun Facts:

  • Fun Fact #1: I grew up in Buffalo, New York - so pizza, chicken wings, snow, and the Buffalo Bills/Sabres have always been constants in my life.
  • Fun Fact #2: In 2019, I was diagnosed with Toxic Mold Exposure. It took about 3 years of intense mind, body, and soul work, but I was able to heal enough to follow my travel dreams! I gained so much perspective on what's important in life, which is why I do what I do now!
  • Fun fact #3: My Sun Sign is Taurus (homebody, comfort, stability) and my Moon Sign is Sagittarius (adventurous, traveler, free-spirited.) These two sides of me may contradict at times but truly drive my current lifestyle.
  • Fun Fact 4: My love for documenting travel started back when I used to scrapbook with my Mom. As an adult, I've created all sorts of travel content including trip reporting, photography, blogging, video creation, and podcasting!

It may be 2023 now but I’ll always be a 90’s kid at heart. 🥀🫖

I’m definitely staying cozy this chilly January with the ‘90s Disney x @heruniverse collection. It’s the perfect sweatshirt to wear while reading a book… and I think it’s even inspiring me to go make a cup of tea! 💛

There’s magic in these mantras. ✨

The new year has begun! So far I’ve been leaning into rest, reflection, creativity, and planting some fresh new seeds. 🪴

What are you cultivating for 2023? 💫

2022 was the year of love, adventures, and dreams coming true. 💞

How does it get better than this? 🥰🎊 Here’s to 2023 and all of the magic that’s in store!
