While I'm a travel writer and certified holistic health coach now, things didn't exactly start out that way. For almost 10 years I was an entertainment reporter. Yup, my life revolved around red carpets, fancy parties, and Kim Kardashian. I'm not going to lie; it was fun for a while, but I wanted more. I was tired writing about other people's lives rather than living my own. So, I quit my job as a gossip reporter, started traveling, and graduated from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. I’ve since traveled to over 30 countries on all the continents (including Antarctica while 5 months pregnant) and writing for outlets like Conde Nast Traveler, Travel Leisure, the New York Times and more. I've also appeared on TODAY, MSNBC, and E! for my expertise. Follow me on Twitter (@jordilippe) and Instagram (@jordilippe).
