Welcome to my blog! Hey there, I’m Jade! I’m fortunate to call the vibrant city of Berlin my home, but my true passion lies in exploring every corner of the globe. Whether wandering through the cobblestone streets of Europe or venturing to the remote islands of the Pacific, I’m driven by an insatiable curiosity and a profound love for adventure. Join me on this journey as I chase my dream of visiting every country on this incredible planet, soaking up the sights, sounds, and cultures along the way.
