CURRENT MISSION

Getting a great tan and learning to surf (in Tahiti)

ABOUT ME

Hi! My name is Jordyn. I'm 20 years old and a student, currently having an early quarter-life crisis. I'm passionate about travel and I love to learn about other cultures and see new things. Also a self-admitted bookworm. I like cats.

PHILOSOPHY

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
Mark Twain

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming with sharks and sting rays off the island of Mo'orea in French Polynesia- scary but absolutely worth it! Also probably seeing the Vatican City, St. Peter's Basilica and the Sistine Chapel. Still can't even describe what I was feeling.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love hearing about other people's lives and traveling experiences. Learning new things every day is what I strive for!
