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 hunting down the perfect swimming hole, chasing a good hike, or snuggling up with my pups.
If you consider yourself a traveler, not a vacationer — you're in the right place. Here you'll find firsthand guides to my favorite destinations, plus the tips and tricks you actually need to plan your next epic adventure. And if you'd rather have someone plan it for you? I do that too.
