Welcome to our travel blog where we share our travel itineraries, destination guides, and favorite experiences from around the world.
We’re Jade and Jeff — two optometrists with a passion for exploring the world whenever we’re not in clinic. Our love for travel first grew through providing eye exams on mission trips in countries around the world, combining our profession with the opportunity to experience new cultures and communities.
Over time, jotting down itineraries for friends, family, patients, and fellow travelers evolved into a digital space where we can share our travel tips, restaurant recommendations, must-see sights, and favorite places to stay around the world.
Now this blog serves as both a travel journal for us and a helpful planning resource for anyone looking to explore new destinations.

Through this travel blog, we aim to:
- Share detailed travel itineraries and destination guides from incredible places across the globe
- Highlight our favorite restaurants, hidden gems, and unique things to do in each destination
- Review where to stay, including the best hotels, Airbnbs, and convenient locations for travelers
- Provide helpful travel tips, planning advice, and travel hacks to make exploring new places easier and more enjoyable
Hope you love the photos and insight!
Thanks for traveling along with us! – Jade & Jeff
