About Me

JenneilI am a public servant by day and a travel-junkie by night... Deciding that domestic travel was not enough for me, I spent a month in Chiapas, Mexico learning about their culture and people. After our first visit to Chiapas, I knew my entire world had changed. I no longer cared about achieving the "American Dream" I had sought for nearly 30 years. Knowing I had found my true passion in life, I began focusing on becoming location independent. Read More Below

About Jenneil

I am a public servant by day and a travel-junkie by night.

I was born and raised in a small farming town in Michigan, but have been anchored in California for the past 8 years. I have traveled extensively throughout the U.S. visiting over half of the States, but I am still a travel rookie.

Deciding that domestic travel was not enough for me, I spent a month in Chiapas, Mexico learning about their culture and people. After our first visit to Chiapas, I knew my entire world had changed. I no longer cared about achieving the "American Dream" I had sought for nearly 30 years. Knowing I had found my true passion in life, I began focusing on becoming location independent.

Here, at "Hello, Meet World," you can read about my Mexican adventures and follow along on my upcoming trip around the World. Over at Nomad Courier, I have launched a unique team micro-photo-blog to motivate you to pursue your own travel dreams through our inspirational postcards.
