To call the Traveler Broads “professional” travelers isn’t exactly correct. Professional? Never. But fun? Colorful? Over-the-top? All day, every day. A writer and photographer who met *cough cough* years ago the Broads – known as Jessica Fender and Kerry Maloney on their passports – have visited more than 70 countries collectively. These travel buddies have a knack for finding the best food, taking epic selfies, shopping their faces off and making new besties all over the globe.
