Hi, I’m Jeanie and I love to travel. I have visited over 50 countries and am excited to share my travel experiences with you all.
What is ‘To Infinity and Abroad’?
To Infinity and Abroad is my Travel Blog that contains a range of travel information and tips that I’ve learned when traveling abroad. You’ll find:
🗓️ trip itineraries
📖 destination guides
🚀 unique experiences
🏨 hotel, tour & attraction reviews
✈️ helpful travel tips
🗺️ useful travel essentials
All posts are based on my own experiences and adventures from traveling around the world, and I hope they help you plan and enjoy your trips to the fullest.
Who Is This For?
My trip itineraries are made for people who work a 9-5 job with either paid-time-off (PTO) and/or financial limitations BUT who still love to travel, want to see the world, and do as much as they can when in a new destination. My itineraries are jam-packed with activities and sights to make the most of your time.
I am neither a splurger on extra-luxurious hotels nor am a backpacking extreme-budget traveller. I find decently-priced mid-budget hotel/airbnb stays, guided tours, and activities/attractions that don’t break the bank.
If you relate to any of this, then you’ve come to the right place!
Why ‘To Infinity and Abroad’?
I’m sure you’re thinking “what a clever take on Buzz Lightyear’s famous motto”, but there’s a good reason for it! I work a full-time job as a space engineer who explores the infinite by day, then wanders abroad on my PTO days. Hope this helps 😉
I love traveling around the world because it brings:
1) Perspective and understanding of other cultures and trying different foods
2) Respect and admiration for earth’s beautiful natural wonders and incredible wildlife
3) Appreciation for both ancient and modern man-made structures found in different parts of the globe
4) Epic adventures and once-in-a-lifetime experiences!
I love views from high vantage points, watching sunsets, and doing bucket list item type of activities. I also aim to include a cultural, historical, or food tour because there’s no better way to learn about a destination than from a local 🙂
Almost every destination I’ve visited includes at least a couple of these interests. I hope you enjoy and add them to your itineraries too!
My Trip Durations
I work a 9-5 job so I’m only able to travel when I’ve accrued enough PTO and saved enough money to do so. Since I’m limited by my PTO bank, my itineraries can be a weekend-long (2-day) trip or as long as 2 weeks.
Due to my shorter time in any one location, I tend to jam-pack my days with activities and sights as much as I can. This can be quite tiring but brings adventure, exploration, and makes the most out of your time!
But of course, feel free to tailor any itinerary to fit your own interests, pace, and/or schedule.
My Trip Planning Experiences
When I travel, I either go solo, with my fiancé, with my closest friend(s), or with a large friend group. Since the number of people I travel with ranges, my travel content will include my planning and trip experiences when traveling solo, or with 1 other person, as well as up to 20 people.
Depending on my travel partner or group, my itineraries will differ to accommodate those who are along with me on the journey. Regardless, I hope that I can provide useful and helpful itineraries, tips, and guides.
A Message
I was recently diagnosed with a debilitating chronic illness. Before the diagnosis, I planned jam-packed itineraries with early mornings and long days. And throw in some adrenaline-pumping activities every now and then. But now, travel looks a bit different for me. More breaks, more rest, less exertion. It’s not really me, but it’s all I got now🤷🏻♀️
I’m glad I started to live my life early and not wait for the “right” time. Even though I can’t travel like I used to, I’m happy with all the memories and stories I’ve made when I was 100%, and I’ll still cherish new memories but at 50%.
So, if you’re a workaholic that never takes a break. Take it! You don’t know when/if your life will be turned around. Live it now, not later.
Traveling is my passion and I hope my travel experiences help you plan and enjoy your epic adventures!
