aBOUT Wisdom From the trAIL
Hi, I’m Jamie. I’ve been travelling and living around the world for the past 10 years, and Wisdom From The Trail is where I am able to share both stories and wisdom about my travels, about life, and about living a life off the beaten path. Travelling is an journey of discovery that never ends, which teaches us about the world and about ourselves by testing us and showing us things that we never knew existed. What I have learned from my nomadic lifestyle has been the greatest blessing to me, and I hope to either help, guide, entertain, or inspire you and others who come across my website.
Throughout my 10 years of travelling and living around the world, I’ve come to realize that gaining knowledge and wisdom is at the heart of every travel experience. I have found great joy in sharing information about places and personal discoveries I’ve encountered in my life, and this idea of lending a helping hand by sharing information I feel is valuable and potentially helpful has ultimately led to this website.
Wisdom From The Trail is a both a travel and lifestyle blog dedicated to helping the fellow traveler, the soon to be traveler, or my fellow human who is looking for inspiration or an alternative to daily life. Life is too short and too precious not to go for what you want and what calls for you, and hopefully what you’ll find on this website will help you along in your journey to get there.
