There once was a study abroad student named Jaclyn who thought her friends and family back home would find her day to day life in Paris extremely interesting. She started a blog, and she thought she was hilarious. As time went on, the blog was abandoned.

That summer in Hong Kong, she was supposed to write a blog as part of her internship. Beyond a single post about winning a dance competition at the Ivy League adult prom (true story), she failed. (Not literally – it probably wasn’t great that she never wrote the blog, but she didn’t actually fail an assignment).

When the aspiring traveler decided to move to Australia after college graduation, the time was ripe for a real blog with actual content. She told everyone about the blog; she went through the life-changing experience of setting up Instagram and Twitter accounts for the first time; she paid for hosting and email services.

But alas, the blog was never to be: she found herself both too distracted by Australia and, later, too bored by her job as a livestock paperwork salesgirl (another true story), to actually write anything.

The years passed, and though travel was constant, her lack of writing was equally constant. Jaclyn’s mother tried to bully her into writing, but Jaclyn is rather obstinate.

The blog has been a joke for so long, and there was a chance that it would forever be a punchline, but with 6 full weeks of travel ahead of her, Jaclyn could no longer let the procrastination and laziness get the best of her.

So here it is, in all its (nonexistent) glory: Jet Set Jac.

I cannot promise you it will offer anything beyond self-deprecating humor and sarcasm, but hopefully someone will find value in it. If that someone happens to be a publishing executive or film producer who wants to turn my blog into the 20-something version of Eat, Pray, Love, that would be ideal.

Stay tuned! I leave in just a few hours and I still haven’t packed my bag!
