Founded by a Traveler

Just a Traveler's founder has personally experienced how life-changing travel can be. In her 20's she took off to explore new places, with some change in her pocket and a handful of items in her backpack, but she ran across a problem. Staying in one place makes it easy to build a close group of friends, but moving around often makes finding that close-knit community incredibly difficult.

She is deeply driven by the desire to create meaningful connections with others while traveling. Her dream for JAT is to create an amazing community where others are inspired to share their stories, exchange knowledge within the travel industry, and go on great adventures together. With a commitment to fostering fulfilling relationships, curating great experiences, and organizing the most accurate information out there, she invites you to join the crew!

Passion for Adventure

United by a shared passion for travel, our community holds a diverse group of people. We welcome all personalities! Each individual brings a unique set of experiences and perspectives, creating stories that enrich our collective wanderlust. Together, we celebrate the excitement of stepping into the unknown, creating lasting memories, and embracing the transformative power of travel. In our group, the world isn't just a map of destinations but a source of endless adventures that are still out there to find.

A Community of Explorers

We believe in the impactful power of travel and the unmatched value of sharing these experiences, genuinely, with others. Through Just a Traveler, we aim to build a community of like-minded explorers who seek more than just sightseeing—they crave immersive and meaningful travel. This is ensured only when the group has established a relationship with one another. With our goal of having great group dynamics, each meetup turns into an authentic adventure.

Getting out of your comfort zone is a great way to gain new skills and perspective. We plan to have scheduled activities for outdoor gear clinics, travel conferences, or lessons with local teachers.  We offer a supportive and judgment-free space. Learning from one another is also a great way to get involved in new interests that might initially be intimidating. Come learn among friends and maybe you'll find something new about yourself!
