About

Hi, I’m Jamie! As you might have guessed, I’m a traveller—but the truth is, I’ve been on the move since day one. My life story is a bit wild, and honestly, it’s nearly impossible to sum up in a few sentences. But here’s a glimpse: I was born in South Korea and grew up in places like Finland, Hawaii, Australia, Thailand, and the US (Washington D.C. and Virginia). After high school in Virginia, I went to college in Ohio. Years later, I rediscovered my love for travel during a study abroad experience in Belfast, Northern Ireland, back in 2014.

In 2016, I took a leap and moved to London with the love of my life—and let me tell you, it’s been one hell of a ride. This adventure seemed to have no end in sight, so in November 2024, we packed up again and made the move to Barcelona. We’ll be here until September 2025, and so far, it’s been everything I hoped for and more.

I think my crazy childhood is why I’m such a planner—creating itineraries for friends, family, and future travel buddies is one of my favourite things to do. As a foodie, I’m always experimenting with new dishes and flavours. There’s so much to try!

I’m equally in love with cities and nature. There’s something about the buzz of urban life that excites me, but I also crave the peace and beauty of nature. I’m also a huge history enthusiast—especially when it comes to ancient civilisations. There’s something magical about exploring the remnants of past empires, imagining what life must have been like centuries ago.

Thanks for stopping by my blog, and here’s to new adventures! Catch you later.

Upcoming Trips

Because my partner is from Barcelona and I’m from the US (and am Portuguese with family in the Açores and on mainland Portugal), I’m really lucky to have so many opportunities to travel. However, I do like to travel beyond my bubble, of course! Here are my plans for the next year or so.
