Lady Red Travel

A ginger's adventures around the globe

Hi! I’m Jessie aka “Lady Red”

Explorer and part-time travel blogger

My name is Jessie and I’ve been traveling the world for nearly a decade, since 2012 after a volunteer trip to Nicaragua. As of today, I’ve traveled to 17 countries and 6 continents. I started this blog back in 2015 as a stress-relieving hobby during graduate school. Unlike most travel bloggers, I have not (yet!) quit the 9-5 grind to live the “digital nomad” life, but rather find a way to have my remote work coexist harmoniously with my desire to explore. I’m always looking to connect with like-minded travelers to go on an extreme adventure with, or simply grab some coffee and cake.

What I Love To Do
  • Travel
  • Kayak
  • Write/blog
  • Surf
  • Hike
  • Extreme sports
Living my best life in Belize 🇧🇿 💜 A well needed break from work before I head back to the US! 🏝️ I can’t believe my time in Antigua is already coming to an end. This was my first time being a “digital nomad” in another country. It’s been interesting to submerse myself in another culture while continuing my work day-to-day life of hopping on Zoom calls and grabbing groceries. I will never give up striving for that balance of having a home base (with my husband and pets) while having these opportunities to continue to see the world and meet new people without giving up my day job (for now). I’m going to miss you Guatemala! Had an amazing day at Hobbitenango and Altamira. It was the first time I really enjoyed myself and felt free in a very long time 🌻 Wild weekend in Lake Atitlan, Guatemala 🇬🇹 I’m still recovering from it (especially paragliding). 😅 I would love to come back and explore more of this hidden gem someday. 💜 When I’m not traveling, I love exploring locally with the pup and hubby. Sean caught this cute picture of Sophie and I taking in the beauty and winter stillness of Great Bay in New Hampshire. We’ve lived in our town for over 5 years now but hadn’t explored this gem that’s only 10 minutes from our home. Making it a goal to be more of a “tourist/traveler” in my home region. 💜 Short but sweet work trip to Denver, Colorado. Can’t wait to go back and see more of this beautiful state! #travel #wanderlust #travelblogger #colorado #denver #ustravel #travelgram #notallwhowanderarelost I loved all of the street art in Valparaíso, Chile! 🎨 🇨🇱 It was honestly one of the most colorful and creative cities I have ever visited! Loved seeing all of the wildlife on Half Moon Island in Antarctica 🐧 🦭 But the strong smell of all of the penguins was quite shocking 😂 After 30 hours of straight travel through 5 different airports and quite a few travel mishaps (frozen credit card, taxi scam, to name a few), arriving at Ushuaia was a welcome respite! Known as “fin del mundo” or “the end of the world”, this adorable nautical city in Argentina is the southernmost city in the world!
