The look on my face is a mixture of, "I can't believe I made these," and "I can't wait to eat these!" I've been a volunteer ambassador for @travelingspoons for a little over a year now and appreciate the times I've gotten to try their experiences (so far in Bali and Mexico City). Today I got to try one of their online courses with @gabriela.villaverde virtually from Argentina. We made two types of empanadas, meat and spinach - both were delicious! I learned some new techniques from her on making the dough and rolling it out in layers with parchment paper. It was a lovely experience and something you can do from the safety of your own home - check out my stories for more photos. So, I know I can't be the only one who has been cooking like crazy over the last few months)??? Any new and exciting things you've learned to make? Favorite recipes? Things you figured out you might not ever be good at (sourdough bread 🙋‍♀️)? .

"The days are long, but the years are short." I as

"The days are long, but the years are short." I asked you all what were some of your words to live by and this answer felt so relevant to me right now. It's a new phenomenon, but I find myself wishing that I could go back to certain periods in my life pretty often. A group of friends, a beautiful beach, motorbiking through Asia, feeling the ultimate freedom and the wind in my hair, snuggling with my Lola dog, hugging my grandparents... Time does not stand still, things change, people come and go - and no matter how aware I was of consciously savoring those moments, I still have feelings of sadness and nostalgia. Maybe it's something that happens as we get older? Is it just me, or does this happen to you too?

On May 21, 2017, I left my home in Texas to chase

On May 21, 2017, I left my home in Texas to chase my dream of living and traveling abroad. Since then, I've been to 18 different countries, and countless cities. It took me a little while, but I now know that I have a very distinct travel "style". I'm a "slow traveler" who likes to take my time to really get to know a place. I prefer to do mostly local things with a little mix of the typical tourist attractions. I care a lot about responsible tourism and always try to be conscious of the place that I'm visiting. I like to visit local markets, restaurants, and buy from mom and pop shops. I prefer taking a train, ferry, car or a bus to an airplane - road trips are my favorite because you can stop anywhere you want. I love meeting locals and chatting with them to learn whatever I can, and always appreciate even the smallest of connections. .
Now that we can see the possibility of traveling again soon, I'd love to hear more about your travel style! What do you seek, like, avoid, etc. when you're out in the world exploring???

Dear COVID-19, we'd like to return to our regularl

Dear COVID-19, we'd like to return to our regularly scheduled programming please! Except in this episode, we are so much wiser! We always appreciated our lives, but now we promise to stop, smell the roses and think about how impressive mother nature is. We will value the gift of a warm hug. We sit across the table from our family and friends just a little longer. We will cherish the warm sun on our face and the cool breeze in our hair. We will stop going through the motions and start BEING. We will never forget the hard lessons you taught us, but please give us our lives back. ~Thank you ~ .

Ever heard of the concept of WABI-SABI? it's a Jap

Ever heard of the concept of WABI-SABI? it's a Japanese philosophy that basically tells us to embrace imperfections, and to realize that we are always in a state of change, or transience. It embraces asymmetry, simplicity, impermanence and the tranquil beauty of nature and natural processes. It encourages us to simplify our lives so that our minds can be clear enough to find joy in the small things, the way they are, not necessarily the way we think they should be. It tells us to go slow, to stop doing and start being, to accept ourselves fully (even our "imperfections"). This doesn't mean that we stop growing, because WABI-SABI also tells us that things are always changing and nothing is permanent, but rather that we should have the serenity to accept the things we can't change and the courage to build on the things we can. .
I learned about this philosophy a few years ago and it really resonated with me. I see it in my work and my life, even my everyday thoughts. It gave a name to something I was already experiencing and made me feel more at ease. Do you have any philosophies, advice or bits of wisdom that you live by? I'd love to hear about them and how they have helped you!

It goes without saying that so much has changed in

It goes without saying that so much has changed in the world over the last few months. Our lives have been flipped upside down and it's given many of us time to slow down and think. For me, it's become even more apparent how much I value the freedom I chose when I decided to leave behind a materialistic lifestyle. Now that I've lost that freedom and ability to move around the way I'm used to, it's naturally caused me to question if I made the right decision. The answer is unequivocally, YES, and I'd do it all over again! Once I started to value the little things in life, moments like this one in the photo meant so much to me. Connecting with people in far away places of the world brings me endless amounts of joy and energy. Our current situation is temporary, we will have our freedom and safety back one day soon. Until then, we can reminisce about our happiest times to find the energy to stay positive and keep going. Sending you all hugs and positive vibes 🤗 Stay safe!

It's been a long time since I've shared parts of m

It's been a long time since I've shared parts of my story - so here goes! Some of you may already know that I started on a journey three years ago with the intent to see the world. I left behind a lot of things to chase my dreams. I have learned so many things along the way, and one of the most important is that in life (as well as travel), you have to adjust and go with the flow. I left my home in Austin, Texas thinking that I'd continue photographing cocktails and food and make a name for myself. I quickly realized that this model wasn't going to be possible because: 1. It's a relationship based industry and it's hard to build relationships when you're moving around so much and 2. It's illegal to work in other countries, even freelance, if you're potentially taking work away from a qualified local person. But I didn't let this stop me! My love of being behind the camera didn't die, it just evolved and grew stronger. I decided that I would take as many photos as I could of beautiful things that caught my eye as I traveled around the globe. Soon I started looking for outlets to sell my work so that I could share some of my favorite parts of the world with anyone who was interested. Almost 2 years ago, I started @TRVLRdesigns - it's still a work in progress - but I've been honored every time someone buys a piece of my artwork to hang on the walls of their home! This would have never been possible if I was not flexible and looking for ways to change my business model. Remember that if you run into a closed door, turn around and keep looking for the one that's at least slightly cracked open!

And, on that note, I'm excited to share that my "Turquoise Door" is now on sale at one of my favorite stores - @urbanoutfitters 😊. You can see this and more of my work at TRVLRdesigns.com or the link in bio. Thank you for following along with me on this journey and thanks for everyone who has supported me so far! ❤️🙏🤗

When everything seems fine, and then all of the sudden you're underwater...(flip through for my big surprise 😂)
.
Although we are all dealing with things in different ways and at varying levels, this is the first time in our lifetime where everyone in the world is fighting against one common enemy. The swiftness and severity of the changes we've encountered may still be catching up with us, even months later. .
I just wanted to ask, "How are you doing? How are you feeling? What are you most looking forward to once we start to return to 'normal'?" .

I've been thinking about about where I'd like to go when it's safe to travel again. But then I think, how do we define SAFE in the world of our "new normal"? At what point does the reward outweigh the risk? I'd love to hear your thoughts on the future of travel?

No matter where we are right now, we are all missing something - freedom, togetherness, loved ones, hugs, jobs, or just plain "normal". It seems like people are reaching their breaking points and I honestly feel it too. Like many of you, I've been doing everything I can to stay positive - baking, cooking, walking, artwork, connecting virtually with friends, teaching English - but some days just feel a little harder than others. .
So, please tell me some great news, something positive, funny or uplifting that has happened in your life! Here's my contribution - me bottle feeding a baby lamb in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco in 2018 - it made me smile and think happy thoughts. Hang in there, we are all in this together and it can't last forever. .

One of my favorite quotes has always been, "It is only in the darkest nights that stars shine more brightly.” I feel like it is so relevant right now! For me, it means that in our dark times, we value the light the most. We find joy in the small and regular things.
I wish for you to have beautiful stars to light your sky and help you get through the darkness.

Stay home and stay safe, Jessica

"Cappadocia Sky" art print.
.
There are some places that are just hard to explain. No matter what words I choose, it’s impossible to visualize the unique beauty of Cappadocia. These are the moments when I am extra thankful for my camera – but even then, I think quietly to myself, “It’s nowhere near as incredible as it was in person.” Some places are just like that; you have to see it yourself to believe it.

"Green Window - Georgetown, Penang, Malaysia" • TRVLRdesigns.com •

Colorful Georgetown - an unexpected gem in Penang, Malaysia - alive with beautiful street art, delicious food, and really delightful architecture! It is also a UNESCO World Heritage site and full of interesting and rich history. This style of window dates back to the late 1800's. Georgetown has the largest collection of original shop houses with this type of architecture and they have done a great job of preserving the old world charm. It really feels like you're stepping back in time.

The Yee Peng (Yi Peng) lantern festival is celebra

The Yee Peng (Yi Peng) lantern festival is celebrated on the full moon of the twelfth lunar month every year in Chiang Mai, Thailand. During the festival, people release floating lanterns into the sky. and you will see homes and public places decorated with colourful hanging lanterns and flags. Releasing a lantern symbolizes letting go of all ills and misfortunes in the previous year, and Buddhists also believe that if you make a wish when you set off the lantern, it will come true (but of course only if you do good deeds throughout the upcoming year). It is not known when the Wat Lok Mali temple was built but it is first mentioned in a charter in 1367 when the king invited ten Buddhist monks from Burma to spread their teachings on Theravada Buddhism - they lived in this temple.
