About

 

Hi, Jake here to awkwardly stumble my way through places and cultures around the world!

I’m a physics PhD student with a love for travel and music. I took a year off before graduate school to backpack from Rome, Italy to Xi’an, China. Join me as I tell the story of my adventures, from awkward conversations with hostel roommates, to gushing over great food, and all the art, history, and nature in between!
