Welcome to Short Drops and Tall Tales

I’m Jason — writer, wanderer, and long-time believer that you don’t need to be rich to see the world in full color.

After spending years in the real estate and surveying world back home in the Caribbean, I traded floorplans for footpaths and spreadsheets for street food. This blog is where I document the journey — not just of places, but of perspective. Areas.

What You’ll Find Here

Short Drops is more than a travel journal. It’s a collection of cultural deep dives, unexpected side quests, honest tips, and reflections on what it means to be a traveler from a place not always seen on the maps of the mainstream.

I write for first-time travelers, seasoned roamers, and anyone who’s ever felt like the travel stories out there weren’t written with them in mind.

What To Expect

• Lesser-known destinations worth your time
• Personal travel essays and lessons learned
• History, culture, and food from a local’s point of view
• A focus on slow, meaningful, and affordable travel

Stick Around

If that sounds like your kind of travel companion, I’d love for you to join the journey.
