About Me

Hello!

I’m Janessa Philemon-Kerp, a location independent event planner who is also a writer, amateur phone photographer, and travel enthusiast. I have traveled to over 40 countries on 5 continents. Currently based in Portland, Oregon,  I spend several months each year internationally traveling to my favorite destinations - both old loves and new obsessions. I also love exploring the lush Oregon wilderness; in summers you'll find me in nature as much as possible.

Urban walks and architecture, vegan finds, local drinking holes, and street cats are some of my favorite things.  Join me on my trips through the Pacific Northwest and around the world!
