Follow Your Joy was created to share the world through the eyes of someone who has wandered the streets of 97 countries. Learning about herself, and life along the way. She found more than one person could imagine, now she wants to share it with you.

That someone is called Jacquelyn.

First a little bit about myself, as everyone has a story to share.

I am someone who is curious, a keen bookworm, who loves wandering around lost in a library. Major Podcast listener.  An explorer, who has been fortunate to travel to 97 countries - mainly solo. I see the world a little differently.  I love joining the dots and believe when your eyes and mind are open you receive more from the world.  

I am a runner. Through my running - 5k to marathon distances - I have developed a strong growth mindset and embrace ‘the journey’, as this is where you learn and grow.

I love photography, architecture and street art.  I am massively into living a healthy and balanced lifestyle. And the art of happiness.  As a lover of travelling, I am constantly inspired by other peoples stories, history, and the possibility of what could be.

I live by the philosophy 'you get from the world what you put into it'.

In 2020, due to the Covid pandemic, I embraced a break in IT project work to explore my creative side.

My first travel memoir titled ‘Follow Your Joy’ was published on 5th October 2021. It is an ode to learning about myself and discovering the joy of life along the way. I want my experiences and words to be shared.

This site showcases my work and how I live my life by following the feeling of joy. The outcome we seek is never the destination or the goal, but is the journey we take when we do the stuff that brings us joy.

I want to inspire you to realise you can be or achieve anything you put your mind to.

I have created an online course ‘Design your life to achieve your one thing’. 20 years of personal development knowledge and experiences bundled into a 4 week, 20 day self serve course. I am excited for the course to ignite a fire inside those feeling a bit lost, stuck or unmotivated.

This is our one life!
