Hi! I’m Jillianne.
I am fortunate to have grown up in a family that taught me to see the world as a classroom – to recognize the value in informing my view of the world by forming treasured relationships with people whose backgrounds differ from mine. Travel is my biggest passion, and I am fortunate that I get to do it often, especially because my husband is an airline pilot!
Here are a few random facts about me:
- I am a night owl and in the morning, I hit snooze a million times.
- I love coffee and tea, but I always get distracted and end up having to reheat it multiple times before I finish a cup!
- I am obsessed with hard-copy magazines. I interned at Marie Claire right after I graduated from university, and I used to write for airline in-flight magazines.
- I am a mega space nerd and went to Space Camp in middle school!
- The only food I hate is cilantro.
- I am allergic to dogs.
- I watch movies on planes… on other people’s screens
- I am fascinated by languages. I took Arabic lessons in law school (I can still introduce myself, order a coffee, and read and write proper nouns). I am working on improving my Spanish now!
Tacos + Takeoffs is a place for me to share my adventures and highlight values-aligned brands with people from all over the world who share the same passion for sustainable lifestyle and travel.
I hope that though reading my blog, you are inspired to explore and protect this beautiful planet that we call home.
I’d love to hear from you! You can reach me via email at jillianne@tacosandtakeoffs.com.
