I’m Jeanine, a girl who loves to travel and chase adventure. I’m a risk-taker and a dream maker. I will trek miles and miles to get to the top of a mountain or find a remote waterfall. This blog is a collection of my stories, tips, and inspiration. I call Los Angeles, California home. Like the sunshine, my heart will always be there however, I crave new explorations; they’ve taken me places but there is so much more I want to do and see.
