This blog often speaks in the first person plural, but it actually just one (1) person: Jennifer.
Hi, Nice to meet you! I am based in the San Francisco Bay area and have a passion for creating fun, fast-paced, and reasonably-priced travel itineraries. I'm in my mid-twenties, so there's still a lot for me to see and learn. I think that's what travel is all about. Read more about my guiding principles below.
Values
Budget-Friendly.
The travel itineraries are actual trips that I go on using my own money and PTO. I will never take sponsorships or incentives to that impact my reviews. That being said, I try to take advantage of credit card points where it makes sense. I know everyone has a different financial situation, so I like to be transparent about how I'm putting together the budgets that I post.
Maximizing resources.
I use what I have at my disposal to inform my posts. I've combed online forums, travel books from my local library, and sought out word-of-mouth recommendations. I would love your input, too!
Vacation Hard.
My itineraries are for making the most of my time in a location. Time is money, and I want to use it to the fullest.
