I'm Jennifer (aka Dr. J), the voice and photographer behind Sidewalk Safari travel blog. I'm an American-Irish expat living in Lisbon, Portugal, lover of quality doors, and a Ph.D. scientist (once upon a time). I’ve been blogging on Sidewalk Safari (www.sidewalksafari.com) since 2008.

I aim to inspire people who have a demanding job to see that it is possible to achieve work-life balance and travel extensively, making use of every business trip and vacation day to see the great wide world.

My motto is work to live, live to travel, travel for work.
