Get to Know MJ
Hi, I’m MJ! I’m an engineer by profession—but when the workweek ends, the traveler in me takes flight—literally. I work hard, but I travel harder, always chasing moments that make me feel alive—whether it’s hiking up a mountain, diving into a new adventure, or flying off to another country.
I created MJTravels to share my stories—not just the picture-perfect moments, but also the challenges, misadventures, and lessons along the way. This blog is where I write about the things that set my soul on fire: breathtaking mountains, spontaneous adventures, soul-filling travels, and unforgettable international escapes.
If you’re someone who dreams of exploring the world while juggling a busy life—welcome. I hope my journey reminds you that it’s always possible to explore, even if you’re starting small. Let’s wander, wonder, and grow—one trip at a time.
Feel free to reach out or follow my journey on TikTok (mjtravels) —I’d love to connect!
More Than a Traveler:
The Author in Me
While travel fuels my soul, writing heals it. Beyond the beaches, mountains, and passport stamps, I’ve carried stories that needed a home—and found that home in words. I’m proud to share that my journey as a writer has led me to publish my own book on Amazon. It’s a collection born from personal experiences, deep emotions, and quiet reflections—crafted to resonate with hearts like yours.
