Hello Again: On Writing Less, Living More, and Starting Somewhere

Hello again, Internet. It's been a while — but not for lack of stories.

I haven't stopped traveling.

I just stopped writing.

At some point over the past few years, I chose to be more present... to travel without thinking of deliverables, captions, deadlines, or blog post outlines. I wanted to soak in the experience, not package it. 

And when you're navigating life, shifting focus, and occasionally drowning in a never-ending to-do list… blogging, unfortunately, takes the back seat.

At some point, sponsored posts started to blur the line between passion and pressure. The blog began to feel more like a chore than a creative outlet. So I paused. I rested. I focused on other ventures. I tried to figure out this thing called midlife. 😅

But here we are.

I miss telling stories. I miss documenting trips for future me — to reread and relive. I kind of miss this space.

So this is me reintroducing myself to the blog. Not with a grand plan or content calendar (not yet, anyway), but with a simple desire to write and remember. To turn Travel Jams into what it’s always meant to be: a journal, a memory bank, and maybe down the road, a gentle stream of income again.

Let’s see where this goes. 💛
