Hello! My name is Jared, I’m a freelance travel writer that grew up in the United States close to Boston. My work focuses on travel, wildlife, and food & drink. I love craft beer, rum, nature, getting to know new cultures, and practicing new languages.

In the past, I’ve lived in Singapore, The Hague, Hawaiʻi Island, Bogotá, and a couple of cities in the US.
