Thanks for joining me!
My name is Joel Matheson and I love to travel. I love seeing new things, trying new foods, and meeting new people. I would always be fascinated by the trinkets my Dad would bring home to us when he was traveling in the Navy. I would day dream about all the far away lands that he visited. We visited a few countries when I was younger and we even lived in Guam for a while. This started my wanderlust.
Fast forward to 2017 and I went on my first trip. I went with a few of my friends to an ultimate frisbee tournament in The Netherlands. After meeting some amazing people from other countries and playing my favorite sport in the world, I hopped on a train to Germany. I did my first solo travel for a little less than a month. I did WWOOFing with an awesome German couple that I still talk with today. They taught me a lot about German culture and organic farming, and my friend Tini has an awesome Instagram page where she posts pictures from her garden.
From 2018 to 2020 I was in Jamaica as a Peace Corps Volunteer. It was an awesome experience where I have made some amazing friends. I was evacuated due to Covid, but I can’t wait to go back. I write about some of my experiences in my blog jamaicajoel.wordpress.com.
I am currently working on a vineyard and traveling around the United States while I experiment with blogging and video editing. So please leave comments I would love to hear some feedback. Subscribe to this blog or my YouTube channel if you like my content.
