Jessica Ramesch

Jessica Ramesch studied international politics and diplomacy with a full academic scholarship at the University of Richmond. She obtained her degree with honors and went on to work as a writer at the Panama Canal Authority while moonlighting as a teacher of English and GMAT/GRE strategy.

Before joining International Living as Panama editor, Jessica spent four years touring the world with Carnival Cruise Lines. After attaining the rank of second officer and becoming head of shipboard guest relations training, she decided to abandon ships and live the good life like a landlubber. No stranger to “international living,” she has called the U.S., India, and Panama home, and has visited over 25 countries. Jessica loves writing, traveling, great food, and learning new things…especially languages…she speaks Spanish and French fluently, as well as some Italian and Portuguese.
