About

Hi, I’m Jacq. I have been mapping away my travels since 2010 with a backpack and travel journal. I am an educator by profession. Spending four years in India hooked me on the journey of learning the complexity of spices and the art of hand weaving.

Growing up in villages full of paddy fields, and listening to frogs croaking on lazy afternoons till night, I never had enough of staying in paddy villages across Asia. I cherished these childhood memories.

I travel with a 25-liter backpack for both short-term and long-term journeys. It carries essentials only. Travel Light means coming home light as well. But I will not let go of spices and coffee, and a few grams of cheese from each trip.

Mapping Away 

While mapping away, a curious path winds through neighborhoods and narrow alleys. This blog is created with the thought that you enjoy the same travel style. It’s about traveling light and traveling solo, sometimes with a partner. By all means, you will find charming small villages and vibrant towns that inspire you. Along the way, some hiking trails will beckon with their breathtaking beauty, leading you to mountains that offer awe-inspiring views.
