About Me!
I’m Jovana Smith. But I like to be called Jo. As you know, The Inquisitive Writer. I live in NJ, USA. I love to blog when I’m inspired. Photography is something I like to call art. I hear the crashing waves on the Jersey shore in my daydreams. The Capricorn is my Zodiac sign. Swimming is my sweet escape. I draw best when I’m in class 🙂 I am grateful for my health, family, and education. Wanderlust cannot be cured 😀
– Jo
How adorable is your blog? When I read your posts, I feel immediately engaged.
I think it’s beyond incredible that you value exactely what I find so important in life: education, health and family.
Btw, I am also a Capricon girl with a passion for traveling! High five!
I will probably stop by your site quite a bit. 😉
Ah so much in common! High five back to you!
Swimming’s awesome! Are you on a team? 🙂
-Saanvi, a new reader
No, I’ve never been on a team. I like to just swim for fun. Are you on a team?
Yes, I am.
We sound pretty similar. I too LOVE swimming, I am also very inquisitive. I can’t believe I didn’t find and follow you blog earlier, it’s amazing.
Aw thanks! I like yours as well.
No worries! Thank you.
Hey Jo,
It’s great to stumble upon your blog. We seem to have heaps in common with our love for travel and Lego. Being inquisitive is also front and centre of my mind too! Look forward to sharing the WP journey with you. 🙂
Thanks! Glad you checked out my blog. Will check out yours, as well.
Great pics! ^-^
Thanks!

Thank you! But recently I switched to an award-free blog. Can I decline?
OMG! I live in Jersey too! I’m near the shore, but I don’t go often.

Thanks! I visited your blog too and I loved your travel experience to Greece and Italy.
Thank you Jo! 😃
I Jo, thank you for the support and reading my comment. I am very impressed with your blog and I look forward to your posts. I too am a lover of nature and photography. And cycling! My wife, who is from Osaka, and I are headed to Japan in November where we hope to get in a few days of cycling.
That’s great! Good for you.
Haha I love your line about “I draw best when I’m in class,” 😛 I really like the bright and colorful style of your blog!
Thanks! I checked out your blog too and followed, and I like the purpose of your blog.
Thanks!
I’ve liked this page before, but I just had to ask, did you paint your profile image? Watercolor is one of my favorite styles, and your picture is just lovely!
Thanks for the compliment, but no..unfortunately. I just found it somewhere online. And is that you in your profile picture? It’s a very good photo.
At least it shows your good taste! = D That is me in the photo, and the beautiful tile is native to Aracati, Brazil. There are a lot of crazy colorful structures still standing from the time when Brazil was a colony of Portugal! There was also a church which someone told me was made of flour!
I see the world, religion, humans, the world all in a different way too. When you get a chance have a peak.
Yeah, evevyone sees the world a different way. I checked out your blog, and it’s cool to see it from a different point of view.
thank you for stopping by
great photography, especially the one where the dog is under the beach chair.
Thanks! ❤️

Love the site! you are very clever! Love love your ideas. I hope you have a blast in Germany. I LOVED it there. Can’t wait to see your pictures!
Thanks! As I said in another comment, I will do a pre-post on going to Germany and surrounding countries.
I like your About, especially your images. I’ve heard it said that original photography is the best way to entice your visitors to really delve into your blog. Your conversational style is also engaging.
Glad you get to travel. Why cure Wanderlust. It ain’t a disease, is it???
Thanks! Yes, it isn’t. I will also do a post in July about how I will go to Germany, Austria, and Serbia in August! Hope your there to see it!
