The Dog Dilemma
I’ve had a lot on my mind lately. I had always told Curtis (my ex-boyfriend) that he was the only reason I was in the States and if we ever found ourselves not together, that I’d leave to travel the
Letting Go of Everything and Becoming a Minimalist
Summary
As you know, I’m planning on selling everything I own to travel indefinitely. Part of that process is getting rid of all the stuff I’ve accumulated over the years. I have an entire one-car garage full of boxes, a large bookcase with tons of books, 2 small closets with various items, and some furniture items. I’ve decided to divide it into a three different categories: Sell, Keep, and Donate/Giveaway. I’ve been pretty busy the past few weeks dealing with the relaunch of Where is Jenny and the upcoming launch of
The Tentative Plan
Summary
Since I’m practicing the art of not planning for this upcoming RTW trip I haven’t yet decided where exactly I’m going to go. However, I have a rough idea of where I think I want to go come January. First off, I want to take a road trip through the United States to see some of the things I haven’t seen yet and to skate the best skate parks it has to offer. I’ll go from Texas to California to Vancouver, Canada and somewhere in between hit Colorado and Salt
OMG I accidently deleted the database!
Summary
I accidentally deleted my database in the move to WordPress in the redesign. The site is not yet complete, so bear with me as the blog continues to be developed. Since I deleted the database I will have to re-upload my 200+ stories from my travels around the world (along with ALL of the photos!) so that may take a few weeks to get everything back up. Thanks to everyone at Pecha Kucha that enjoyed my speech here in Houston! Boo Yah. If you haven’t already please “Like” my new
A new beginning and my decision to travel around the world.
Summary
I had always dreamed of traveling to far away places and living an adventurous unconventional life, far from the safe traditional upbringings of my childhood. I marched to the beat of my own drum and was always being reprimanded for my creative and adventurous outlook on life. I was worked like putty to fit into a mold already made for me since the day I was born. “Girls don’t do that” and “Your going to break your neck” are phrases that repeatedly haunted my childhood. I was expected and forced
Where is Jenny gets a design overhaul!
Summary
Where is Jenny has been a source for my thoughts, travel experiences, and trip planning since early 2006. It has gone through many phases since then including a bad decision to move to Drupal CMS. Drupal (and the developer that built it) left much to be desired with a lack of functionality and user friendliness. I’ve made the decision to move back to wordpress and put Where is Jenny back on the map. Where did all the blog entries go? Well, in the move I accidentally deleted the database! Oops!
SA 14: The Flamingo Day 4 – Floreana Island, Post Office Bay, & Puerto Ayora
Summary
Day 14: Today we awoke at Floreana Island. As usual we ate breakfast and headed to the island. Floreana has a charming place called Post Office Bay where you can follow the tradition of pirates and whalers of the past. There is a barrel where these guys left mail and every ship that passed by would look through the mail to see if they were heading to where the mail was addressed and then take it. The tradition lives on, and you can leave a letter for a loved one
