i’m so glad you’re here!

My name is Jessica Payne and I am the creator of Well-Lived - welcome!! I am a lover of all things beautiful and am passionate about designing a life well-lived. My passport isn’t full, but I am committed to traveling the world as I love how it challenges me to explore new surroundings, engage with different people, embrace exciting adventures, and share these meaningful experiences with my community. I am not an interior designer, but I understand the importance of curating a home that gives a sense of peace and comfort from the outside world. I am not a chef but I am a lover of good food and to me it’s more than just survival - food brings people together, it’s social, it allows you to learn about a different country/culture in a new way, and let’s be honest - it makes any party better. I am not a fashion/beauty blogger, but I know that our outer personal style can reflect the inner you. What I lack in professional degrees or credentials, I make up for in life experience, and trial and error. This space is where I want to share my experiences, create community, and help you enjoy life just a little more.
