About Us
Welcome to Trip Jaunt!
I’m Helen Hatzis, Chief Exploration Officer, and co-founder of Trip Jaunt.
This very site was inspired by my personal blog Weekend Jaunt which I started in December 2010. I would keep track of all the places I visited for both business and pleasure using the following pillars: eat, play, chill and stay. Then in 2016, I partnered with OutMatch Associates to share my travels with a larger audience. Today, Trip Jaunt is a purpose-driven travel publication that inspires mindful exploration.
We highlight meaningful journeys, sustainable destinations, and underrepresented voices in travel. From ethical wildlife encounters to cultural deep-dives, we create well-researched, emotionally resonant stories that encourage travellers to see the world with awareness and heart. We’re proudly featured on MSN and committed to storytelling that respects the land, its people, and our shared future.
Check out our first-hand perspective in our Destination Guides or peruse our travel articles to inspire your travels.
On behalf of the Trip Jaunt team, thank you for visiting. Please tell your friends and family about us. And be sure to check out and follow us on our social media channels.
We look forward to providing you with as much travel content as possible to help inspire your next great adventure. Let’s get you started!
Safe travels!
Helen Hatzis
