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.

Little things I built to solve my own problems on the road.
Sojourn
Log each stay once instead of counting days by hand — Sojourn tallies your time per country, watches the Schengen 90/180 window, and flags US state-residency days.
Open Sojourn →Latitude
Sojourn's forward-looking companion. Point it at a date and it flags what a longer stay would trigger — a Schengen overstay, a US state-residency line, California's sleeper vehicle rule — plus what to verify. It reads your Sojourn stays.
Open Latitude →Almanac
A diary of the places you've based yourself. Rate each stay on what matters on the road, mark how pricey the area was, save the links for next time — and see your favorites glow. It reads your Sojourn stays, and stays private in your browser.
Open Almanac →Waypoint
Line up any set of cities on a single day and drag a block to find a meeting time that works for everyone — no mental math, no 3 a.m. calls.
