Hi, I'm Jess — a Western North Carolina native now based in Greenville, SC. I've spent years exploring everywhere from the red rocks of Sedona to the single-track roads of the Isle of Skye, and I write about all of it here. When I'm not planning someone's next adventure, you can find me searching for the perfect swimming hole, chasing a good hike, or snuggling up with my pups. I'm also a travel advisor with Fora Travel, a Virtuoso agency — so if you're ready to book, I can help with that too.
