Welcome to Joy And Journey: advice and experiences about traveling, living, and working abroad — especially in Latin America and from a female perspective (but guys, you’re welcome too!)
I’m a small town Michigan girl turned serial expat and avid traveler. In the past 5 years, I’ve lived in 5 different cities in 4 different countries on 3 different continents, while visiting more than 20 other countries.
Most of my travel is solo, but I am married! My multicultural family is based in Puebla, Mexico. My husband is Israeli, and our two dogs come from Thailand and Guatemala.
I’m also a master’s student in psychology, dog-hugging addict, and persistently sub-par language learner.
No matter where I’m at, I’m always in search of delicious vegetarian dishes, cultural insights, and the next beautiful adventure.
Join me as I explore expat life and international travel – through all the joy and journey!
