Hi there! I’m SJ. I’m a coffee fiend, dog lover, bookworm and human rights nerd who loves putting my bare feet on the grass/clay/dirt of countries all over the world and finding something to really, truly smile about.
My blog is to document and share about my travels. It’s really important to me to travel ethically and responsibly, learning about the history, culture and politics of the places I travel, finding ways to give back to Mother Earth (especially with the carbon footprint of airplanes), and choosing where I put my money carefully and thoughtfully. If you have any ideas, thoughts, questions, or comments, I would love to hear them. I really would. Reach out!
I’m currently getting back into travel, and while I’m at it, getting back to my roots and my soul. For the past few years, I’ve been doing work I am immensely privileged to do at a refugee resettlement agency in New York City, but I’ve found that being in New York wasn’t right for me. I still want to do work that supports my community, and I’m opening to finding out what that is. My new project (after leaving the job I’ve been in for the past nearly 3 years) is opening up a traveling coffee truck, and interspersing time to travel in between milestones. I am so, so ready for this moment.
