Let me introduce myself…
My name is Jenna Lee. I am a mom of two amazing kids whose desire to explore the world rivals my own. I am also a travel nut with a love for cultural tourism. Art, history, food, great wine and photographing pretty much everything along the way are what typical define my travel plans.
Ahhh, Positano! Click on this picture to view a few of my favorite photos from Italy last summer.This crazy travel blogging adventure began in June 2017 and it is both exhausting and incredible – much like travel itself. What started as a hobby quickly became a passion project and ultimately morphed into a business that continues to grow every day. Who knew you could actually make a living doing what you love?

How I got started…
Travels of Jenna began as an easy way for me to share stories with friends and relatives of my adventures be it alone, as a couple or with my family. As my audience grew, I realized that I had a choice to make – keep my blog for me or grow with it and make my blog for everyone. Well, at least everyone interested in the same things I am! Despite that it is WAY more work than I may have initially realized, I think I made the right choice. I know I did.
What you might find…
On this site you will find many things from stories to reviews to tip-based articles like my Italy Packing List. If you hang around and check out a few posts, you will quickly discover what makes my traveling heart beat. My first international trip was to Costa Rica where I stayed with a family while providing practical support to church organization when I was 14. Cultural immersion is the foundation of my love for travel and it still influences the way I travel 20 years later.
Which is…
The way I travel today, at least in the way of accommodations, depends heavily on the mood of the trip. So, when you read my blog, you might read about a 5 star hotel on a couples trip or you might read about a hostel I stayed in while traveling solo. Usually, I end up somewhere between at a fantastic locally owned hotel. One constant you will find in my travel style is my love of local food, cultural tourism and learning a destinations history. I am an avid tourist who loves visiting all the sites and learning about what makes them special. There’s so much more to our bucket list than just a check in the box. Everything has a story. I hope you find a few here and I hope they inspire you to find new cultures to explore.
