Welcome!

Hi, I’m Jess!

Founder of Update Later Travel, lover of color-coded itineraries, and firm believer that life’s too short for bad meals. I’m a type-A traveler through and through, no wasted time, no “what should we do now?” moments, and definitely no regrets when the trip is over.

Right now, I’m living my version of an adult study abroad. Since I can’t work as a nurse here in France (we’re spending two years abroad for my husband’s job), I finally have the chance to dive fully into my passion for travel. With no 40-hour workweek holding me back, I get to share it all with you my comedy-of-errors stories, the occasional travel horror show, the must-see experiences, and those life-changing moments that remind you why we travel in the first place.

And about the name Update Later, it started as a joke. While building this site, I kept typing update later as a placeholder title. But then it clicked: that’s exactly how I travel. When you’re immersed in a new place, living day to day, experience to experience, emails, work, and the noise of everyday life can wait. Travel now. Update later.

Here, you’ll find my blog filled with stories, tips, and guides, plus my shop with fully fleshed-out destination guides. They’ve got everything you need: where to stay, what to do, tours and must-see sights, the best restaurants, bars, and cafés, and a sample itinerary so you can just plug it in and go.

Thanks for stopping by, I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s make your travels unforgettable.
