“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page” – Saint Augustine.
La Jessica is a California girl living in Colombia who’s managed to make traveling a lifestyle. She was born in Key Largo, Florida, raised in Lake Tahoe and Hawaii, and has visited some of the most beautiful places in the world. From Cape Cod to Kauai, countless trips across the USA, Mexico, Costa Rica, Ecuador; Jessica is happiest when exploring new places.
After two-decades in the hospitality, marketing, and communications fields, she earned her Master’s Degree in Spanish. To celebrate, she spent a year traveling South America, from Patagonia to Parque Tayrona. She fell in love with Cartagena, Colombia and decided to stay. Then she met a caleño, and the rest is history. Together they reside in “the other Cali” (Colombia), where Jessica teaches Spanish online for her alma mater – Lake Tahoe Community College. Along with a joint business venture with her colombiano making and selling accessories manufacturas.one, she has a personal blog lajessica.com.
Most recently, she’s committed to promoting tourism and sharing the unique and undiscovered beauty of Magical Colombia. It’s safe to say her knowledge of Latin America is unsurpassed.
