Blogs of Travel

To traverse beyond the limitations of my mind, I travel to look upon the journey within myself. This is the place to share that journey with you

The Blog: SS Jess is my lifestyle and (aspiring) travel blog. Ideally, Id love this space to be a full-time travel blog, but Im young and broke, so I just dont have the means to travel 24/7 like Id like to. So in between travel-related posts I blog about my life - all the current happenings and experiences. Hop aboard, and join me for the ride.

This is a travel website for those who are like me (and my hubby Jim) and really enjoy the adventure of traveling without the limits of an organized tour but certainly will take advantage of one when it is offered! With a little bit of planning and research we can be free to travel wherever our dreams take us. Most of time on our own, but sometimes with good friends or friendly strangers.

Im Tippins and I met my husband Rufio (pseudonym for his uncanny resemblance to a certain ill-fated Disney character) in May 2009. We were just shy of dating two months when he introduced me to the chaotic world of non-revenue pass travel. That trip would forever change our lives. Not only did we fall head over heels for each other on the warm shores of Maho Bay, USVI, but I became verifiably obsessed with the gamble of standby travel.

I’m Katy, a 20-something Brit with a serious case of wanderlust. At 18, an age when most people choose party destinations and beach resorts for their first ‘grown up’ holiday, I dragged one of my closest friends off to Marrakech. It was there, in the suffocating heat of the chaotic streets and maze-like souks, that I fell in love with travel.

In coming up with the name of the blog, I wanted to achieve two goals: I wanted a place where I can jot down my thoughts and opinions while I’m in my current state of wanderlust. In the last 3 years, I have lived in 5 countries on 3 different continents, so you can definitely say I am in the state. However, I also want the name to signify a community of people who are similar to me, and who have been bitten by the travel bug like myself.

This outlet shall serve as an additional platform for my professional stories, but it will be more. I’ll write about the places and angles that I can’t get published in mainstream sites and publications.

Travel has liberated me and nothing can compare to being able to fit everything in a single bag and being able to get up and go anywhere I want. The problems I had with life back home all disappeared and Ive never been happier. The Western lifestyle I was pursuing was full of stressful situations and bills. The nomadic lifestyle isnt for everyone but for me it was a perfect fit and just what I was looking for my entire life.
