About A Passion and A Passport

A Passion and A Passport is Jessica's personal travel blog, written from the San Francisco Bay Area where she lives with her husband Noah and dog Kona. Jessica began sharing trips as a hobby and over time treated the site like a business, growing it to more than 550 posts since 2014 while keeping her day job as a speech language pathologist. The site offers carefully planned itineraries, long-weekend ideas, destination guides and practical planning tips aimed at 9-5 professionals. Posts are long-form and visual, often packed with Jessica's own photos and step-by-step day plans.

For readers who want a travel plan you could hand to a coworker and actually use, this site delivers. Jessica writes with a chatty, witty tone that mixes personal anecdotes and pragmatic advice, and the pieces read like a friend narrating a very organized trip. The Cusco deep dive alone runs into thousands of words, includes nearly a hundred photos and dozens of links, and feels exhaustive in the best way. We especially appreciate the long, printable itineraries, the San Francisco roundups, and the practical tips tailored to people who only get limited time off. The blog posts about once a month, so there is steady new planning material.
