Dear Fellow Traveler,
For as long as I can remember, I have loved to travel. I guess that happens when you take your first cross-country flight before you turn a year old. Fast forward 30 years and I have not slowed down one bit. While some people are go with the flow on their trips, I am not. My Type-A personality takes over and before you know it, there’s a full blown itinerary waiting to be put to the test. With Jordy’s Journal Travel you can find guides, detailed itineraries, and packing lists for all different trips. Plus I have collaborated with some of my closest friends to provide more travel content for you all. You can check out those guides and itineraries under the contributors section. And if any of this overwhelms you, reach out to me at the bottom of this page for a free consultation. Happy travels!
Xoxo,
Jordy
The map to the left shows all the states I have visited (31/50). And a lifelong goal of mine is to travel to all 50! While some people could argue that driving through a state or having a layover there counts as visiting, I only marked the states I have lived in, vacationed in, been to for work, or at least ate a meal in.
Some of my favorite places to visit are Boston, Cape Cod, Chicago, The Finger Lakes Region of Upstate New York, Washington D.C., New Orleans, The O.C., St. Augustine, The Twin Cities, Madison, Milwaukee, Chattanooga, and Nashville - just to name a few.

International Travel
My international travel is a bit limited, but I have been able to see and experience some amazing cities and cultures in the countries I have traveled to. Of course I denoted the USA since I live here, but I have also been fortunate to go to Cuba for a 10-day study abroad program in college, a two-week family vacation to Italy for Christmas and New Years after I graduated college, and to England and Scotland for a two-week Mother-Daughter trip.
I have a pretty long list of the places I want to travel internationally and hopefully some of those will be soon! So stay tuned to see where my next adventure will be.
