Hi, I’m Joanna —a travel addict, hiking enthusiast, and storyteller at heart. My journey began with a simple backpack and a craving for the unknown, and it’s taken me to 28 countries and 48 breathtaking U.S. national parks. Japan is my frequent escape, where I’ve traveled 8 times to immerse myself in its culture, food, and landscapes. When I’m not on a plane or a trail, I’m here, sharing tales of adventure and tips to help you explore this beautiful world. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or taking your first leap, let’s explore together!

I created this travel blog to share my adventures, inspire others to explore the world, and provide practical tips to make travel accessible for everyone. Whether you’re looking for your next hiking trail or planning a trip abroad, I’ve got you covered.
