Jennifer’s deep curiosity for exploring far-off places and engaging with unfamiliar faces has always resided within and acted as a guiding compass for many of her life decisions.  Whether it was backpacking through the castles and countryside of Europe, hiking the treacherous Napali coastline of Kaua’i, or pilgrimaging to the Mayan temple of Chichen Itza, her desire to know the unknowns and uncover the jewels of each newly explored land stems from a deep, reverent-like curiosity for the magnificence which makes up all of Mother Earth.

“It is my experience that when we approach travel with a genuine spirit of curiosity and reciprocity, the wisdom of the land and its people is revealed and thus woven into the fabric of one’s life.  So that in the end the tapestry that depicts my life... a life well lived, is imbued with the essence of all the far-off places and unfamiliar faces of those that I have been so blessed to encounter along the way.”

And so, it is with the creation of The Cultural Take, that I wish this blessing for each of you.
