She has surfed in Mexico, sipped tea in centuries-old Japanese teahouses, and gushed over penguins in Antarctica, but ultimately found herself at home in Barcelona, where she is studying Spanish. After working as an editor at SmarterTravel, a Tripadvisor company, for four years, Jamie went freelance in 2019 to travel full-time. In addition to writing, she has also worked as a quality editor and photographer for TripSavvy.
