living abroad

Welcome

Hey guys, I'm Jori!

I’m a small town girl from Texas, but I like to joke with my friends that I am now a “citizen of the world.” I have lived in the US, Spain, Italy, and France, and I’ve traveled to 54 countries so far (and still counting!). Most of the travel I do is on my own and in the most budget-friendly way possible. I believe this blog will help you if:

  • You’re planning a trip and want to learn from other’s experiences (especially if you’re solo!)
  • You’re moving to another country and are a bit lost on how to do it
  • You’re simply curious about my travels!

When I started traveling, I was a bit lost. When I moved to a new country, I wanted to jump off the plane and run all the way home. I hope my experiences will help you feel more comfortable and prepared in your own adventures!

Weekend in Key West 🌴Awesome day spent explo Weekend in Key West 🌴Awesome day spent exploring the far south side of Florida. Miami has some nice beaches but man, the Keys are the Caribbean waters and sands that you always imagined! We had fun feeding tarpons and being attacked by seagulls
My second weekend in Miami I joined a networking e My second weekend in Miami I joined a networking event for fellow content creators! (Always working, eh?)
I was blown away by what an amazing event this was, not just by the women I met, but the whole organization of the event and quality of the sponsors.We had a panel of some amazing content creators, catering provided by @flyfuel, gift bags from a variety of sponsors including @skelcore (thank you thank you thank YOU for the gear. I’m completely obsessed), photoshoots complete with a makeover, and all hosted at @amperstudios_New Miami Girls is an organization who hosts all kinds of events like these, and I’m super happy to have been apart of this amazing experience!
Perfect intro to Miami 🌴The past few weeks h Perfect intro to Miami 🌴The past few weeks have been HECTIC. Settling into a new job, moving into a new apartment, buying furniture, etc. that I haven’t gotten to explore much yet. My first weekend here though I did have a friend take a group out on a boat where we were able to see Miami Beach and all the millionaires’ homes. I feel like I’m in the big leagues now!!
LIFE UPDATE!!If you’ve watched my stories, you LIFE UPDATE!!If you’ve watched my stories, you’ve probably realized that yes,  I moved to Miami!! I received a job offer to come back to the good ole US of A 🇺🇸
After 5 years living abroad, this has been a major change for me, but I’m excited to see where it takes me! I’ll come back to Spain/Europe one day, but for now I can’t wait to explore my new city ☀️ 🌴I’m gonna miss all the amazing friends I’ve made while abroad, but hope you all will come visit me 💛…If you’re wondering about my bike, she is currently sitting in a garage in Spain while I figure out what to do with her. Shipping back to the US was crazy expensive so that seems like a no go. It’s also really expensive to change parts and put on a Spanish plate so… for now she’s just hanging out in Valencia!I am looking for another bike here in Miami though, so feel free to hit me up with recommendations!
Port Saplaya in Spain, a small little port city le Port Saplaya in Spain, a small little port city less than an hour from Valencia. I was excited to finally visit this amazing place after spending so much time in Valencia, and it did NOT disappoint! Port Saplaya is like a miniature Venice— Spanish style!
