TravelnWrite ~ the Blog!

Now approaching a million and a half page views, our blog TravelnWrite is an on-line resource for expat lifestyle and travel information and entertainment. First written to keep family and friends informed of our whereabouts, our readership now spans the globe. We've had readers come from more than 120 countries.

Using a play on words – ‘travel and write’ (what we do) and ‘travelin’ right’ (how we do it) – we hope to inspire you to set forth on your own adventures or entertain you as you explore the world with us from your armchair.

If you are passionate about travel - the sensory overload it causes, the emotions it stirs, the fortitude it sometimes builds and the doors it opens - our blog is for you.

Passion over Profession

The Scout and The Scribe

Long before we reached U.S. retirement age we said goodbye to our '8 to 5' desk jobs.

Joel (The Scout, for searching out deals and itineraries) was an attorney.

Jackie (The Scribe, for writing the blog and freelance travel and life style articles) was a former newspaper reporter-turned-public relations director.

Admittedly we worked and saved for several decades with an eye to the future: packing our bags and setting off!

Off the coast of Turkey

Now We Are Ex Pats!

We've had so much fun visiting foreign countries, that we decided to move to one! After purchasing a home in the Greek Peloponnese we decided to make Greece our full-time home.
