2023 Travel Recap
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- I’ve been collecting snippets from all of my travel vlogs this year with the intention to make a recap video like this one. And then the end of the year came around and I no longer felt certain I wanted to share it. In a sea of 2023 recap posts of sunshiny faces and amazing moments, I’ve felt so tired taking it in while wading through an intense season of uncertainty. I didn’t want to add to the noise if it meant contributing to someone else’s social media fatigue.
Ultimately, I decided to go ahead and share the recap and discovered that putting it together brought some much needed perspective and a serious wash of gratitude. I don’t share to show off - ever. My journey, just like every other single human being everywhere, is absolutely not a highlight reel. While I am did experience some amazing moments and saw so much beauty, I also grappled with loss, grief, heartbreak, and loneliness. I’m guessing so did most of you. Instead I share to show that it’s not all doom and gloom - that there is love, magic, joy, and peace to be found, even when the hurts are great.
I also wanted to let you know of some big changes coming up, at least for the immediate future. I shared this in a post on Instagram the other day and wanted to post it here, too, in case you missed it:
2023 ended with a bit of chaos thrown our way and I’ve had to make some unexpected changes to chart a new course for my little family. I’m taking a RUclips hiatus - not planned but necessary - for now and I’m sorry to share I will not be attending the runDisney marathon weekend or Disneyland half weekend as planned. I was so looking forward to meeting some of you there! It’s hard to say when I’ll be back to solo travel but I do hope to return and share with you once again.
While I may not be posting on RUclips for a time, I will still be as active as ever, if not more so, in my Patreon community where I share lifestyle content including weekly updates, a weekly exclusive video (think DITL vlogs, home projects, favorites, etc), and a monthly livestream. If you’d like to keep up with me and/or have a more direct way to connect, you can find the link in my bio.
I ask that you please respect my little family’s privacy as we navigate these changes and the uncertainty they bring. I will share more about my RUclips plans once I have a better sense of what life will look like beyond the next couple of months. I’m wishing everyone running in the next week or two the most magical miles! I’m cheering you on from home. And while I’ll miss being there and sharing the adventures on RUclips, my heart is happiest where my littles are. Leaning in, always. Take good care, friends ❤️
Here’s to another year of adventures, both near and far, inside and outside, personal and global in this beautiful world. May we all stay curious and open to magic wherever and whenever we find it ✨

A complete 180 from the person I started watching. Even though I miss your old content, I'm happy for you. You seem to be having a blast, and you seem to have grown, and you're brave for doing all these solo adventures. I can't even sit at a fast food place alone.
I appreciate your kind words ☺️
Oh Jen, I LOVED THIS!!!!! I hope it's another amazing year filled with awesome travel, and wonderful many blessings....thanks for all the joy you shared! Happy and Healthy 2024
Ur such an inspiration Jen! I’ve been watching for years and it’s so awesome to see your evolution! You’ve really come into your self! Thank you for sharing your beautiful adventures with us all 🥰
Jen, I have been watching you for a long time. I felt so much sadness for you when i saw your posting at the end about Winnie. I am so sorry about this heartbreaking loss.
Oh Jen I cried. What a beautiful tribute to Winnie!
I miss her so much 😢
i like your travels
I don't typically comment, but I just wanted to say that I have enjoyed these travel vlogs this past year. I am carving out a few moments to express how sad I felt at the end of the video when I learned of Winnie's passing. You will be missed, Winnie! I remember when you would show Winnie drinking water out of her special water fountain, and it always made me smile. I have an almost 14 year old matipoo and I believe Winnie was similar in age too.
Wishing you an amazing new year filled with more happiness and joy ❤
Hope everything is ok. Haven’t seen a new video in awhile ❤
What fantastic experiences Jen, ravelling solo takes tenacity, self reliance and courage. Heres to many more of your adventures this year ❤

loved your content 🥰
Hey Jen do you still do decluttering videos or packing videos? I’m curious to see your organization process now that you have kids :) also your planning or project management if it has changed since having kids how has your life changed your cleaning packing organization etc… also your walk-in pharmacy storage everything
I have followed you for so many years and it’s wonderful to see how much you have grown in confidence. The Jen that started this channel is a very different person to the one we see today. Happy New Year to you & your family and I look forward to the next video whenever that maybe.
Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words. Happy New Year ✨
Happy New Year Jen
Happy new year! ✨
Sorry I commented before the vlog was over. I am so sorry to hear about Winnie, brought a tear to my eye. I have one 16 years old, he is on his last days. He has been my companion and best friend so I do not no how I will get through the days without him. Probably will need therapy.
I miss Winnie.
Jen, do you ever think you’ll take a trip on the California Zephyr and take us along on the trip? I’d love to see you film that.
So fun! Thank you for taking us along ❤
Thank you so much for coming along! 💕
Did you do the Disney marathon weekend?? I love your rundisney videos!!
hello im from argentina❤
When did Winnie die? I didn’t know that😢
Watched you since 2013. Sorry for your loss.
This got me so emotional! Thank you for always sharing and inspiring! 2023 looked like a great year of travel. I hope 2024 brings some great adventures too! - Zoe
Thanks, Zoe! I appreciate your support. Cheers to more adventures in 2024!
I got your Christmas card just as I was watching this today! Kinda creepy and a little woo woo- name that Christmas movie...😂
A beautiful
Recap!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😁
Hi, Jen. I love your videos. Would you consider doing a video about teas? I want to start drinking teas, but I don't know much about them. I love chai tea lattes. I would love to know where you purchase your teas as well and also your pottery mugs. I am vegan. I don't know if that matters for drinking teas. Thank you for your consideration. =)
Probably going to join patreon to continue watching you. Because unlike some people around here I truly enjoy your content ! Always clicked when you posted new videos. Wishing you lots of health and happiness to you and your family this year Jen!
Patreon is great!
Thanks for watching! Wishing you and yours a happy new year ✨
Santa Fe is not in AZ😂
This video was so inspiring, it made me want to go out and chase my dreams.
Go for it! 👍
