Hi Everybody, I’m jordan.
Hey guys! I’m Jordan, a 28-year-old living just outside Indianapolis, IN with a constant itch to travel, adventure, and see our world. I grew up outside of Chicago and had opportunities to travel all over the world at a young age. I saw places like Kuala Lumpur, Santo Domingo, Nairobi, London, and Quito all before graduating high school. Both my parents and grandparents each had a vast range of experiences overseas so this seemed rather normal to me growing up. However, the more I traveled and saw the world, the rarer I realized this was.
Last year I left a successful career path to follow something with greater joy. I had been on a fast track to coaching big time college baseball, and at the time that was the ultimate goal. But life had become monotonous, lonely, and stationary and I realized that this was no way to live. I saw the lives of coaches around me and decided that it was not the life I wanted in 15-20 years, so why pursue it?
So I packed my stuff and moved to Indy to be near some friends and decide where to go next. Since then, I’ve been traveling whenever possible. As I write this on July 9, 2018 (happy 21st birthday Canaan!) I’ve been to Minnesota twice, Portland twice, and Chicago once, all in the last six weeks. Oh, and I’m leaving for San Francisco in 5 days. Crazy. But I absolutely love it.
My hope with this blog is to stretch your horizons, enlighten your worldview, and inspire and motivate you to just go. Our world is a massive and beautiful place and I hope I can give you a glimpse into little pieces of it.
