Meet the Founder of Blush & Backpacks
Passionate Traveler, Wife, Mother,
and Photographer
Hi! I'm Joan, the woman behind this travel blog crafted for adventurous women travelers like you. As a wife and mother of three adult children, I've balanced family life with my passion for travel and exploration. My journey through life and across continents has been filled with incredible experiences, and I'm excited to share them with you.
A Life of Adventure
From early family road trips to solo adventures, my love for travel has only grown over the years. Whether it's wandering through the colorful markets of Istanbul, hiking the breathtaking mountain trails of Colorado, or exploring the bustling streets of London, each journey has left a unique mark on my heart. Blush & Backpacks was born out of this passion for exploration and a desire to inspire other women to embark on their own adventures.
Capturing the World
Photography is another passion of mine, and I believe in the power of visuals to tell stories and evoke emotions. The stunning photographs featured on Blush & Backpacks are not just images; they are windows into the beauty and diversity of our world. Through my lens, I aim to capture the essence of each destination, from the vibrant sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico to the intricate details of a rainbow over the Rockies.
