Hey I'm Janessa! If I'm not out backpacking on the road on an adventure, I'm usually at home or wherever I am planning my next one :) I love to travel, whether it's walking around a city or out camping. There are so many places on my bucket list I try to make it a goal to go out and explore at least twice a year. One of the best things about exploring is meeting awesome people along the way.

Interests

When I'm not at home, I'll be on the road with my backpack trying to live as minimally as possible. I enjoy taking pictures and filming as often as I can! Outside on my free time, you can find me hiking, ice skating, climbing, or snowboarding.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite kind of music is all genres and I love getting music recommendations!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After graduating from college last year, I went off on a long backpacking trip for a little over 3 months. I spent the first month in Spain walking the "El Camino de Santiago" then continued on to Portugal, then the United Kingdom, out to Iceland for the 2nd time, camping and hiking outdoors, then moved on to Ireland to see more amazing nature sights.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would be happy to talk and get to know you! Anything travel or outdoor recreation related is a plus! It's always great hearing adventure stories from other people :)
