Hi, I’m Jenny! I started PassingThru because I wanted to share the kind of travel that slows you down and allows you to connect with a place on a deeper level. For me, travel isn’t just about ticking off famous landmarks; it’s about discovering the stories behind them, tasting local food, and really getting to know the people and cultures.
Starting Passing Thru was all about sharing the travel experiences that changed the way I see the world. I wanted to create a place where I could offer helpful resources, share what I’ve learned along the way, and encourage others to travel with intention. When I asked myself, “Why should I start a travel blog?” the answer became clear: I wanted to inspire others to take a thoughtful approach to their travels. Whether it’s finding a quiet village in Bosnia or learning about the traditions of a South Pacific island, I hope to inspire you to explore the world with curiosity and respect.
At Passing Thru, I focus on travel that encourages you to take your time. It’s about finding those hidden gems, understanding the history and culture of a place, and embracing the local way of life. The goal is to help you make meaningful memories, not just check off places from a list.
I also know that traveling can sometimes feel overwhelming. That’s why I share practical tips—like how to navigate transportation, find great local spots, or plan a budget-friendly trip—to make it easier for you to enjoy your travels with confidence. I also team up with other experienced travelers to bring you advice from different perspectives, so you always have the best information.
So whether you’re looking for inspiration for your next trip or need advice on traveling smart and safe, I hope PassingThru helps you make the most of every journey. Let’s go on this adventure together!
Thanks for visiting, and be sure to check back for fresh travel stories, tips, and guides. Let’s hit the road and make every journey unforgettable!
Tips for Trip Success
Book Your Flight
Find an inexpensive flight by using CheapOAir, a favorite of ours because it regularly returns less expensive flight options from a variety of airlines.
Book Your Hotel or Special Accommodation
I’m a big fan of TripAdvisor. I rely on their ratings and review system and photos.
You Need Travel Insurance!
Good travel insurance means having total peace of mind. Travel insurance protects you when your medical insurance often will not and better than what you get from your credit card. It will provide comprehensive coverage should you need medical treatment or return to the United States, compensation for trip interruption, baggage loss, and other situations.
