Hi! I’m Jam, the blogger and illustrator behind this site.

I was born in a small city in Thailand and later moved to Bangkok for school and work. I started blogging as a hobby and initially named my site PLAZAJAM.com. But after people mispronounced it and said, ‘I know your name is Jam, but I heard something with jam,’  I embraced the idea and rebranded to SOMETHINGJAM.com in 2012

My blog focuses on travel, inspired by the adventures my husband, Tim, and I have shared.
We explored Thailand and many other countries while he worked abroad, including Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Singapore, Indonesia, China, Taiwan, Nepal, and the Maldives.

In 2016, we moved to the U.S. before relocating to South Korea (2018–2021) for Tim’s work.  Living there was an incredible experience—I even picked up some Korean!
Being close to Thailand also allowed us to visit often, and we took trips to Japan as well.
In 2021, Tim retired, and we returned to the U.S.

After retiring, we thought we’d travel more, but in reality, we stayed home more than when we were working.  So, I started a Daily Life Blog covering gardening, cooking, and exercising.

I’m also creating children’s books, which you can find on Amazon.com. I may not make much money from them, but my goal is to become a bestseller one day. Please support me!

I write my blogs as I experience them—no sponsors, no filters. To keep the focus on the places we visit (and avoid unnecessary comments), I illustrate us as cartoons in my posts. Plus, Tim loves that I give him more hair!”

I know there are many YouTubers and influencers out there, but I prefer to keep things simple by writing a blog.  We hope you enjoy reading along!

 

Jam.
