About

Jamie has spent a fair amount of time as a tourist and a fair amount of time as a traveler. Now she is dedicated to traveling with purpose, near and far.

She believes in building bridges, not walls. She believes in the unrivaled power of travel to transform hearts and minds.  She believes in seeing for herself. And she believes in the power of empathy and kindness.

As she begins a new chapter of adventures, she is humbled by how much there is to learn from the world. One of her favorite quotes came to mind as she was standing at Machu Picchu:   “… Maybe that’s enlightenment enough – to know there is no final resting place of the mind, no moment of smug clarity.  Perhaps wisdom, at least for me,  means realizing how small I am, and unwise, and how far I have yet to go.” -Anthony Bourdain

Jamie met a 20-year goal of traveling around the world in 2010. Her blogs from that trip and from her time living in London can be found here: http://www.travelpod.com/members/wanderwoman2010
