Welcome to travel + explore & play with Sallee Jay, where I am your host. 👋🏾💓‼️ It’s been a while since I’ve traveled international, so I had to make sure this trip hit a few destinations because WORK HARD, PLAY HARDER!

On a more serious note, this trip was more than I could have ever imagined. I’m extremely grateful for the experience and as more of the story unfolds, I hope that your heart is equally delighted in the experience too! Follow along as I share trip details including — family first’s, healing, restoration and great adventures!

Welcome to Travel + Explore & Play with Sallee Jay where I am your host. I am so very excited to share more trips with you all very soon, as my schedule is beginning to fill up with events. And thank you for your patience, while I took some time off from blogging 👩🏽‍💻 to accomplish some personal and professional goals.

TODAY is a throwback blog in which I detail one of my funniest travel experiences to date. It involves a trip to Dallas, Erykah Badu and lost rental vehicle… I stumbled upon this email that I sent to family and friends after the trip and was instantly taken back to that crazy weekend.

Link in bio. ✨
