About —

Photos, stories, travel all done here.

My name is Jenny Sparks, and I've worked, traveled, and eaten my way across the globe, with a special affinity for the Middle East.

Based in Washington DC, I have a background in International Relations and Development having received degrees from American University and the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London.

I’ve worked in Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Egypt and Iraq and have traveled extensively in between. For the past few years I’ve taken photos and created content for the United Nations, American Red Cross, and the International Committee of the Red Cross.

Check out my blog for musings, reflections and a few jokes about travel. I have an undying love for pretty shoes and handmade textiles. Carpets are a passion, though I haven’t yet found one that flies.

I’m available for commissions and consultancies for humanitarian and social justice projects.
