Named for explorer Christopher Columbus and founded in 1812, the city of Columbus is Ohio’s capital and largest city. Located at the confluence of the Scioto and Olentangy Rivers, Columbus is known as an up and coming tech city and the home to the nation’s 3rd largest university campus. On the banks of the Olentangy, The Ohio State University has a student enrollment of more than 55,000 and some of the country’s most enthusiastic football fans.

I'm Jenny McIver, career girl, globetrotter. On New Year's Day, 2005, a newspaper article about a man who took a trip around the world sparked a wanderlust in me that has yet to abate. I spent the following year planning my own trip-of-a-lifetime and have since made it into an annual, month-long adventure visiting and writing about more than 130 countries on all 7 continents along the way - all while maintaining a full-time career. Today, my goal is to be that spark of inspiration for others by proving that you can fulfill your wildest travel dreams without quitting your day job.
