Wistful Wanderlust

I'm Jamie, and I'm enchanted by the enormous beautiful world we live in! I was born and raised in the bay area and grew up in a multicultural society where I've constantly been surrounded by other races, cultures, foods, and religions. This may just be one of the main factors that ignited my curiosity.

I'm intrigued by other cultures and love learning about other countries. I often find myself enticed by foreign movies, and if it were possible for me to learn at least five languages fluently, I would! I'm a very adventurous eater and enjoy trying new foods, and exploring different cultural traditions as well.

I have dedicated this blog solely to traveling and cultural life styles because that's one of aspect of life that has never ceased to fascinate me.

This past September 2015, I finally took my first vacation out of the country in JAMAICA!

Not only did I enjoy every moment of it, but it was also very eye opening and only further fueled my desire to travel. Some of the countries I'd like to visit are: Greece, Spain, Ireland, The Dominican Republic, Egypt, Morocco, Tahiti, and the list could go on forever.

A blog I would highly recommend for people who love travelling is "NotWedorDead", which is written by a young woman named Katy who decided to travel the world after her fiance called of their wedding. She offers great tips for people who travel alone and inspirational tips for getting through hard times.  (http://www.notwedordead.com/)

 Another blog I would suggest with helpful tips for people with incurable wanderlust like me is called "Travel. Paint. Repeat." which consists of numerous posts from artist Megan Van Groll about how to travel on a budget, and how to be successful with your own independent career. (http://travelpaintrepeat.com/tagged/travel)
