If you’re near Buckhead, Brookhaven or Sandy Springs, pick up a copy of the latest Simply Buckhead, with my 6-page cover story (“Food Scene from A to Z”). I can almost guarantee you’ll be hungry by the time you finish. . . . . Not only was it fun to research / write, but I got to help dream up & style the cover (shot at St. Cecilia’s brunch, 📷: Sara Hanna). I love how it turned out! “Venice is like eating an entire box of chocolate liqueurs in one go.” I agree, Truman Capote. . . . . #venice #italia #simplyadventure #skypainters #girlsthatwander #girlvsglobe #wanderingwomen #travelgirlscollective #walkingthestreets #explorergecity #justtravel #girlsabroad So proud to have my work featured in JWM Magazine. It’s edited by the extraordinarily lovely @karastud (her first issue as EIC!). Scroll over for my stories on #Shanghai & Functional Elixirs (featuring @upbeet CEO Erik Maier). If you’re staying in one of the @jwmarriotthotels worldwide this season, I hope you’ll check it out in person! . . . . . #simplyadventure #skypainters #wanderingwomen #travelgirlscollective #explorergecity #justtravel #girlsabroad #postcardplaces #globelletravels #shewhowanders #postcardplaces #beautifulmatters #vinegarshots #healthytravel #travelwriters I sort of forgot to post anything (other than in instastories!) when I was in #Quito, #Ecuador a few weeks ago. Though it was an last-minute assignment, it doubled as a magical trip with one of my dearest friends. PLUS, I was struck by how infrequently I truly discover a place - with no preconceived notions about what's a "must see" or "must do." It felt like the purest kind of exploration. Next time, I'll stay longer than 4 days & tack on a trip to the islands or Amazon, for sure! 📷: @kathryn_arden . . . . . #simplyadventure #skypainters #girlsthatwander #girlvsglobe #wanderingwomen #travelgirlscollective #walkingthestreets #explorergecity #justtravel #girlsabroad #postcardplaces #globelletravels #shewhowanders #postcardplaces #beautifulmatters #travelgirlscollective I’ve let myself get weirdly insecure about posting on Instagram. Is this photo #instaworthy enough? My caption sufficiently pithy (“Jennifer, you’re a writer...you should be good at this!”). . . . Something that’s supposed to be fun has turned into another thing on which to be judged (How many likes? How many comments? Good “engagement”? What does that even mean?). . . . So today I’m posting this pic just because it’s pretty... & that’s enough. ❤️ Words fail me (rare), but it feels like the sky is showing off for our last night on Isla Holbox. It’s been magic. Island wheels. 🌴🚲 If you’re flying @delta this holiday season, look for my Breakaway story on the pages of @deltaskymag, about my exploration of India 🇮🇳with @erynmchugh. It’s one of my favorite things I’ve written this year! ✈️ Looking for places to dine out this holiday season (& beyond)? My updated guide to dining out in Atlanta is live on FoodNetwork.com (link in profile). Posting just before lunch time, in case you might feel inspired... & hungry! What are you craving? 📷: Andrew Thomas Lee (@andrewthomaslee) Morning views over the Pacific. I could get used to this. Can I stay? 🌴 ☀️ 🏖 📷: @abbytegnelia And just like that, it’s been 7 years. Love you @franks_whiskey ❤️💋 Some days you wake up in the gorgeous @oberoirajvilasjaipur, strike out to explore & sit in a jewel-inlaid palace doorway with a best friend. Others, you open your eyes on the 13th day of being sick & sit down at the computer to grind out a zillion copy projects. It balances out, right? Seriously, though, I love being home with my favorite people (& pups!) AND traveling to see this wide, wonderful world… . . . . . While it's good to keep eyes up (& not buried in an iPhone) to appreciate experiences, I do so treasure the photo reminders. Are you dreaming of a far-flung place today? . . . . . #neverstopexploring #letsgosomewhere #wheretofindme #traveldiary #lifeofadventure #beautifuldestinations #meettheworld #ihavethisthingwithcolor #theprettycities #girlswhotravel #bucketlist #royalrajasthan #allaboutjaipur #incredibleindia
Through the looking glass... India has been a perspective-shifting experience in the best possible way. A testament to true love, or as they say in India, "a teardrop on the cheek of eternity."
