Welcome!

Hey, I’m Janine!

I spent years believing my dream life was unrealistic… until 2017, when I finally worked up the courage to go after it. I quit my job, packed my bags (and my cat), and moved to Mexico to launch a writing career and eat my weight in salsa!

Now I’m sharing my experiences building a new life in Mexico, a thriving online business, along with plenty of travel inspiration!

If you’ve been dreaming of quitting your job to travel or work online, stick around! I’ll be sharing my down-to-earth tips, anecdotes and experiences right here.
