Lots of changes happening in my life right now, bu Lots of changes happening in my life right now, but it’s my birthday tomorrow so I figured it was the perfect opportunity to re-introduce myself! ✨Hi all, I’m Jori. I named this account “Tejana”, meaning “Texas girl” as a way of keeping with my roots, although nowadays I’ve lived all over. After college I moved abroad for five years, living in France, Italy, and Spain. Five years may not seem like a lot for some, but to me they were extremely formative years where I integrated with the culture, made local friends, and learned the language. I also traveled extensively, hitting 57 countries, and decided to create a travel blog for me to share both my travel experiences and my advice for living abroad.My style of travel is exploring with just a backpack, diving deep into the culture, and hitting up specialty coffee shops in every city I go to, as it makes me feel “like a local.” This style of travel might not appeal to some, and that’s okay!Although travel takes up about 90% of my personality, the other 10% is reserved for my various hobbies.- I’m always down to try something creative, and you can often find me reading a fantasy book 🎨📚- I could survive drinking solely red wine, margaritas, lattes, and Dr. Pepper 🍷☕️- I’m a massive animal lover, and when I was a kid I wanted to be a zookeeper 🐒- I ride motorcycles and created another account/website (@thetejanabiker ) to document my motorcycle travel. A lot of this stemmed from the trip my dad and I took together last summer, where we went from Texas to Alaska and back on our bikes 🏍️Although we met while I was living in Spain, I recently moved back to Texas with my Spanish lover @adrp.8 We’re just settling into Austin, Texas, but it’s been a wild ride showing him Texas and the American culture.That’s a bit about me— nice to meet/re-meet you!Leave a comment if we have something in common 🖤
Postcards from the Florida Keys 🌴I think alm Postcards from the Florida Keys 🌴I think almost every single friend who came to visit me in Miami, ended up on a trip down to Key West. It seemed like no matter what the weather was farther north, in the Keys it was always sunshine and literal paradise. I can’t talk enough about how much I love the Keys.Hope everyone stayed safe through the last two hurricanes! I know all the Floridians are used to, but the rest of the world is terrified for you 🤣

POSTCARDS FROM ANTIGUA 💌What a cute city! Fro POSTCARDS FROM ANTIGUA 💌What a cute city! From the streets of Antigua you can see the Volcán de Agua, giving some decidedly Pompeii vibes. Antigua is actually a really big expat/immigrant hub, with many travelers coming to visit, and then deciding to stay there many years later! There are tons of good restaurants and coffee shops, and the preserved architecture contributes to an old world feel. I would have loved to stay more time there!#guatemalatravel #antiguaguatemala🇬🇹 #culturalexplorer #polyglot
