Hi, I'm Jessie

I started traveling solo when I was 20 years old, and began documenting my trips on jessie on a journey in 2011.

Today this blog is my full-time business, and 99% of the stories you'll read on here are about my adventures exploring the world on my own (even though I'm engaged!) in search of offbeat sites, active adventures, and sustainable experiences.

A little bit about me:

• Some of my favorite travel destinations include Latvia, Slovenia, Thailand, Guadeloupe, Bhutan, Argentina, and Spain.
• I've been featured in top publications like USA TODAY, CNN, Business Insider, and AOL Travel, as well as a web series with Bravo and a featured guest on BBC Travel (TV).
• I've spoken at notable travel conferences like the TBEX, TravelCon, the Women In Travel Summit, Women's Travel Fest, the New York Travel Festival, iSugar Live, Find Spark, and more!
• I truly believe that with the right mindset you can achieve absolutely anything. Trust me when I say taking my first solo trip was terrifying and loved ones tried to talk me out of it. But I wanted it so badly I didn't allow myself to make excuses. Instead, I shut out social influences and listened to my own voice. The time to travel is *now* 🙂

Thanks For Looking!

I'm David Leiter , the guy behind this website. I'm an American who's been traveling the world full time for 8 years now.

I started this travel blog in 2019 to document my own international trips, share my photos, and help others learn how to travel the world and find some really good spots off the beaten path.

I'm currently based in Bali , Indonesia , where I met my wife Intan, who’s a Bali local. Now she joins me on these wild and crazy adventures too.

Together, we've done some bucket list hikes , climbed active volcanoes , seen exotic wildlife , and visited some spectacular castles , temples , and monuments around the world.

I've worked with and been featured by BBC Travel , NBC News , Time , and other companies.

I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list. I hope this world travel blog can help and inspire you in your own journeys as well!

Vocabulary - travelling

LESSON OVERVIEW

With this travel worksheet, pre-intermediate students can talk about how travelling changes them and learn some useful vocabulary. They also read a short text , watch a video about dream travel destinations and write an email.

VOCABULARY & READING

The first activity in this travel worksheet is a brainstorming activity in which students discuss if and how travelling can change people. Then, they do a vocabulary task in which they need to move some words (e.g. abroad, foreign, imagination ) from the wrong sentences to the correct ones. After that, students read the article about how travelling changes people. One person from a pair reads the first half of the article, and the other person reads the second half. Next, they share what they learned and discuss if they agree with the ideas mentioned in the article (e.g. travelling makes you trust people more, travelling makes you more creative ).

VIDEO & SPEAKING

The second part of the worksheet begins with a video lead-in activity. Students look at a list of countries and cities and discuss if they have been to those places and what they know about them. Then, they watch the video in which people talk about the places they would like to visit, and put the places from the list in the order they hear them . Before the second viewing, students read five gapped sentences from the video and think what words might be missing. After that, they watch the video and check the words they came up with. The teacher could decide to just play the audio during this activity. Having watched the video, students discuss several questions referring to travelling , e.g. their travel experiences, different cultures, foreign languages. When speaking, they try to use the words from the lesson. The last part of this travel worksheet for pre-intermediate students includes a writing task. Students have to write an email to a friend describing their dream holiday. There are some questions to guide them.

Nice lesson and nice video – it”s manageable. But not a lesson that can be done easily in just 60 minutes…The writing activity alone takes a quarter of that. Perhaps it’s more a 90 minute class.

Thanks for your comment! We always gather feedback like that and then adapt the expected lesson time if we see that we miscalculated it.

Is there a minimum subscription period if I choose a monthly subscription?

What currencies can I pay in for my subscription?

Our default currency is USD (American dollar), but you can also pay in EUR (euro), GBP (British pound sterling) or PLN (Polish zloty). You can change the currency you want to pay in at the Pricing page before selecting a subscription plan.

How can I edit an e-lesson plan?

You can get your own editable copy of an e-lesson plan and make changes to it. To do so, either (1) make a copy of it on your Google Drive (preferable method) or (2) download it in a Powerpoint format (but formatting might be a bit off so we can’t guarantee that it will work well).
