Fit Traveler Blog

Travel + Lifestyle Blog

Welcome!!!

Spread the love

Hey! Welcome to Fit Traveler Blog! I’m Jessa. Ever since I was little I wanted to be a photographer, and I wanted to travel with the world. I wanted to be a photojournalist for the National Geographic. I still remember when I received my first camera. Growing up, I also wanted to live in an RV. That has changed over time to a tiny house, living in my car, RV trailer, etc. I love to travel. When I travel I want to experience everything. I want to see what the city is known for as well as some unique experiences I couldn’t do anywhere else.

Here at the Fit Traveler Blog, you’ll find fitness and wellness tips for every lifestyle. I am here to break down all the fitness and nutrition fads/trends into relatable/bite-size information so you make the best decision for yourself. I will give you both pros and cons for any wellness topic. Being transparent is so important to me because what works for someone might not work for you. We are all different and our body reacts to things differently. I’m here to help find what works for you.

I’ll be sharing a variety of fitness reviews with you. I know how intimidating it can be walking into a new studio or trying a new workout plan can be. l haven’t always been interested in working out or eating the “right” foods. You will never hear me tell you not to eat specific foods. Personally, I don’t believe in limiting or avoiding certain foods. My goal is to give you all the details people never tell you. Basically, I’ll go to the class, and tell you everything both good and bad so you can go and enjoy the workout!

I love to read and research things so reading about different diets/lifestyle changes is really fun for me. It’s strange, but I actually enjoy reading things and breaking it down into something everyone can understand.

Traveling has also been a big part of my life. I have always wanted to explore and see everything. I love seeing the touristy things or things that made that area a destination, but I also love getting advice from people who live in the area. They give the best recommendations on things to see and do. Don’t worry I will share my trips, itineraries, packing tips, and so much more.

You can expect to find 3 blog posts a week. Monday is normally lifestyle posts. Wednesday alternates between wellness and fitness. Friday is about traveling. I am also on social media. Feel free to follow along.

We got there around 6:30pm, and didn’t leave until 9:15pm. The website says the walk will take about an hour, but you can go at your own pace. There are so many lanterns in each animal exhibit.

We started going through the Asian Trail, there was year of animals. The Africa section was my favorite, but I am not going to tell you why. But it was a nice surprise, and I was way too excited.

There were hands on activities throughout the zoo, but by the time we got to some of the areas it was closed.
-make your lantern
-paint rocks to be placed around the zoo
-tattoos
-music each night

What are your “musts” when traveling? Let me k What are your “musts” when traveling? Let me know in the comments! 

These are the things I always have when I travel: (arrow down)

1. Spare credit card/bank card - I typically bring this, but before my last trip my regular bank card got hacked. Now I make sure to always have 2 cards with me. 
2. Portable charge/power banks - I have a charger that I keep in my car all the time. It's a 4 in 1 charger, but I also have portable charge that I keep in my bag. It has come in handy more times that I can count for me and other people. 
3. Reusable water bottle - I have my Stanley when I am driving. While I am hiking I use either a water bladder or a hydroflask. 
4. Reusable Bags - My favorite is the Mary Kay roll up bag. It has 4 plastic bags that holds everything I need for my morning/evening routine and shower time. 
5. Books - I will most always have a physical book along with my kindle app. I love to read. During my hikes I stop throughout for snacks and reading. 
6. Wet Wipes - My favorite is HyperGo because they have so many different scents. They are also 12x12 so usually 1 works for the whole body. 

In the reel - Things I won't travel without
