Let’s Talk About Cruising

So you want to learn more about cruising? You have come to the right place! My friends and fellow travel writers Ann and Steve Teget have taken over twenty different cruises – all over the world. If you need a question answered, they are just the pair to do it!

Ann and Steve began writing about their travels in 2014 when Ann was diagnosed with two chronic illnesses and needed a hobby to lift her spirits. Since then, their blog, PostcardJar.com, has blossomed into a joy-filled site that inspires readers to live and travel well.

Both native Midwesterners, the Tegets write about travel, food, and healthy living. 

Since 2019, this married couple has lost a combined 200+ pounds and adopted a healthier and more active lifestyle. They now seek destinations and travel experiences that enhance their healthy lifestyle and well-being. 

Ann’s healthy living journey was featured on the cover of Woman’s World Magazine and the “Fearlessly Facing 50 and Beyond” podcast.

This dynamic writing duo was named the 2019 Midwest Network’s Bloggers of the Year. Additionally, the Tegets own and operate a successful Airbnb in Pawhuska, Okla. Their Airbnb, called Postcard Place, has received more than 185 consecutive 5-star reviews and was featured in The Pioneer Woman Magazine.
