We’re Jess and Cori — a married couple sharing our adventures around the world as The Transparent Travelers. For us, travel isn’t just about seeing new places – it’s about growing, challenging what we think we know, and becoming more open-hearted humans along the way.
We believe travel is one of the most powerful tools for personal transformation. It teaches you to let go, be curious, and connect deeply – not only with the world, but with yourself and each other.
We also know that traveling is a privilege. That’s why we’re passionate about helping others get started – sharing honest tips, budget-luxury guides, and behind-the-scenes stories to make travel more accessible, real, and rewarding.
All of our content is created and managed under our company, Coastal Creations LLC, which allows us to professionally produce travel storytelling and help other brands share their stories with content creation. This blog is just one part of our bigger mission:
To live fully, love boldly, and invite others to explore the world with intention.
Wherever you are in the world, we’re cheering you on.
