The short version
A life without a permanent address
Hi, I'm Jenna — a Georgia peach with no fixed address, a Bronco Sport named Daisy, and a rotating cast of other people's pets. I house-sit my way around the world, point her at whatever backroad looks worth it, and build a startup in the gaps. Far From Idle is where all of it lands.
