About JP+C

My day as a dolphin trainer.

What started out as a travel blog has evolved into a blog about traveling the Road of Life and experiencing every moment to the fullest. While Jet Planes and Coffee continues to wander the globe, it also seeks out the people who make the globe worth wandering.

Traveling the Road of Life is impossible without making some stops for food and drink along the way. In Coffee Stops, you’ll find articles related to eating in, eating out, and, of course, drinking coffee.

Scenic Overlooks is a section which allows you to partake in the array of art, music, theater, and landscapes awaiting you on your next vacation.

If you need inspiration to walk off all that eating in and eating out, it is yours at Walking Americaa series devoted to staying fit while living a regular life. Each article demonstrates ways to integrate walking into one’s life when living in or visiting cities and towns throughout the United States and Canada.

The stories of people who live inspiring, authentic lives are featured under the heading of World Travelers. Whether they have traveled beyond the borders of their home town or not, their lives show a spirit that is greater than any one place.

Your hostess for all these different kinds of travel is SR Dryja. Rarely seen without a cup of coffee in her hand, she is a life-long seeker and experimenter, a bit of a nomad, and a taster of life. She is a writer for this blog, Jet Planes and Coffee, as well as the cooking blog, Kitchen Dilettante. She is also co-creator and a senior contributor for the online magazine The Great Experimenters.

She goes by the pen name “SRDryja” in honor of her grandmother, whose life was a great inspiration, and who’s name she carries as her middle name.

    • Thank you for visiting my blog too! I can’t wait to see what other beautiful images and stories you uncover to share. My mouth is still watering from the images in your last post about Mayrig’s restaurant..

    • Thank you! It is a blessing to find kindred spirits. Your spirit is inspiring me in ways I hope to articulate better in future days. I cannot wait to hear more of your adventures! Your travels will be included in the links on my site as well. :)

      With peace and joy,
      Sherry

    • Thank you for stopping by! I’m glad you enjoyed that post. Stay tuned for more to come along those lines in my “Walking America” series. I’m working on it as we speak. Best wishes!

  2. Dear Jet Planes and Coffee,

    I loved your post “Walking Suburbia like an Urban Jungle” because it spoke to a problem that the majority of Americans face. At first glance, our communities do not seem to be walk and bike friendly. But your commitment to an active lifestyle is inspiring!

    I’m writing on behalf of the KEEN Recess Team, because we’re motivated by people like you who choose an active lifestyle. On our recess page [recess.keenfootwear.com] you can add your favorite destinations and photos to the map. We’d love to know where you explore. Thanks for your input and expertise!

    Best,
    KEEN Recess Team

    • Thank you KEEN Recess Team! I will go check out your website and post some fun places I’ve been to and walked. My KEEN hiking shoes are so rugged, by the way. I’ll have to check out your walking shoes too. Please be sure and take a look at my other articles about Walking America. My husband and I are committed walkers and we travel all over. I’m writing a whole series about what it’s like to walk around North America and have already covered places like Minnesota, Texas, and Toronto. More articles are upcoming!

      Finally, I also wrote an article about finding urban walking shoes. My next article, actually, will be the results of my search. I would love to include KEEN in my next article! Hope you return to my blog with comments and ideas!

      Best,
      Sherry

    • Hello, KEEN Recess Team!

      Would love to hear from you about a collaboration. I think we could make a great team.

      Just bought a pair each of your Paradise and Prescott ballerina flats! I think they’re going to be perfect for my upcoming trip to Washington, DC, as well as my regular walks through the suburban jungle outside of Phoenix. Thank you for the recommendations!

      Best regards,
      Sherry
