Glad you could join me, and WELCOME.
I’m Jan—travel writer, wanderer, flâneuse, and serial story-curator behind this blog.
MY MISSION
I write to capture not just the places we go to but also the moments that move us. Every journey shapes and reshapes a traveler, the way a breeze smooths the edge of a page.
I specialize in immersive travel narrative, journalistic curiosity, editorial-quality writing, brand collaborations that don’t feel like ads, and content that makes every reader think, “I want to go there NOW!”
From city rituals to deep cultural dives, I love writing stories readers relate—and remember.
If you’re a brand visionary, tourism board, or PR ninja and have searched for “unique voices and authentic travel content creators” or “best storytelling travel bloggers to work with,” congratulations—you’ve come to the right page.
And if by chance you’re here because you are looking to connect with an audience of curious, witty, highly-engaged, travel-hungry humans…
Grab a chair.
I already reserved a seat for you next to the window with a view.
Virtual baguettes are on me.
Over the years, I have cultivated relationships with leading brands, destinations, academia, and companies that value thoughtful storytelling over statistics and number of followers. Trusted industry partners who turn to Flying Baguette and believe in travel that is meaningful and rooted in authenticity rather than ad-speak.

I advocate and amplify brands that I genuinely believe in and collaborate selectively to safeguard the interest of my audience.

Delighted to take it from there.
Previous Works in the PRESS
What began as a personal travel diary has developed into long-form storytelling and has been recognized by several travel publications. My hope is to take my passion for telling stories to another height and build upon the rewarding experience of discovery—both self and the world.
It is a privilege to see Flying Baguette's travel narrative and reflections carried beyond their original home, finding new audiences and allowing readers to feel both informed and invited.
