Mini bio
How it started.
An Austin native, Haley first traveled overseas to London as a college sophomore. She later studied abroad in London and Glasgow. After six weeks of solo backpacking around Europe, she launched Ready Set Jet Set on Instagram in 2013 to share her travel photography.
Finding her audience.
The Instagram account came before the blog. A few years later, she took Ready Set Jet Set full time and added the website for longer travel stories. In a 2015 interview, she named photographing Coachella and having her images shared by Travel + Leisure among her early proud moments.
Travel with Haley.
Her work now combines destination guides, cruise reviews and unusual places to stay with small group trips for women. Photography remains central: she told VoyageAustin that she photographs her travelers and makes personalized photo books after their trips.
