My story
Hi I'm Jess
Growing up with traditional Asian parents, I was defaulted to conform to certain societal expectation – have a steady job, settle down with a suitable partner and so on. Despite my efforts to adhere to these expectations, I found myself unfulfilled. When my last job left me mentally and physically drained, I realised it was time for a change.
I took a step back and asked myself what I truly wanted out of life. I remembered how alive I felt when I took a gap year before college to travel and realised that’s what truly made me happy.
So, I made the bold decision to leave behind my career as a lawyer and follow my dream of travelling the world. There was no roadmap, no instructions, but I knew that’s what my heart was calling for. And even though there was uncertainty, the excitement for this new journey and the unknown was what made me truly alive.
This journey isn’t just about ticking off destinations from my bucket list, it’s about experiencing new perspectives and connecting with the world in a deeper way. I invite you to join me as I discover new cultures, create unforgettable memories, and share my passion for travel with you.
