Welcome to the community!

This resource library is meant to help you have more meaningful, impactful, and unique travel experiences.

My goal:

To help you go from sightseeing and crossing attractions off lists to *experiencing* the world in a way that helps you live your best life.

Favorite Travel Brands:

The list contains affiliate links to trusted travel partners I love and think you will, too!

NYC Photo Journeys. My own private photo tour company in New York City. We also offer Professional NYC Photoshoots.

Dine with locals. EatWith allows you to connect with locals and other travelers while having a meal in a local home.

Travel safety. One way I stay safe on the road is with Clever Travel Companion‘s stylish pickpocket-proof garments. They’ve got dresses, tees, tanks, shorts, longjohns, and more. I also love Speakeasy Travel Supply for handmade hidden pocket scarves for all seasons.

Travel insurance. My go-to travel insurance carrier when traveling abroad or within the United States is SafetyWing, which has comprehensive straightforward plans at a budget-friendly price.

Car rentals. If you’re renting a car, you can use Discover Cars to quickly compare your car rental options. Actually, you can save up to 70% using their tool!

Support artisans. With NOVICA, you can purchase clothing, accessories, housewares, and art from artisans around the world. Filter your search by product type, region, or cause — whether you want to empower women, enable education, support conservation, or something else.

Active trips. Love wellness and outdoor adventure? BookYogaRetreats showcases over 2,000 retreats, many of which combine yoga with hiking, cycling, surfing, and more.

Flight deals. Going (formerly Scott’s Cheap Flights) can help you save hundreds of dollars on flights with their discounted and mistake fare alerts.

eSIM. Saily eSIM offers mobile data plans in 150+ countries to help you stay connected without incurring roaming fees (save 5% with code “jessie5”).
