About Me

Ever had that one friend who just couldn't keep still, just wouldn't stop shopping and who was always overdressed for even the most basic occasion? Well, now you do!

I developed a travel fetish after my parents allowed me to spend a summer in Europe with a group of peer high-schoolers at the tender age of 15. I remember it like it was yesterday - I dusted off my passport, charged up my camera, over-packed, and kissed my parents goodbye. It was my first trip to Europe and I had no idea what to expect but I was ready for it all. During this trip I visited Budapest, Vienna and Prague, and by the end, I was completely in love with the dream of becoming a world citizen. This experience made such an impression on me, that I wrote my personal statement for my college applications about it. Now over a decade later, I am still on a mission to become that world citizen.

This blog will review some of my favorite places. These reviews will include recommendations for sightseeing, cultural exchange, restaurant suggestions along with tailored travel hacks and so much more. Oh, and of course it wouldn't be "Japaira's blog" if it did not have a style and beauty twist. 

I hope you all enjoy!
