At Curiosity & Courage, we believe in dreaming boldly and taking the necessary steps to make those dreams a reality.

Founded by Jaquette Chardae, a dental hygienist, certified in nutrition, and purpose-driven entrepreneur, Curiosity & Courage was born out of one big question:

How can I help change what’s available along I-95?

As a naturally curious person, I kept asking:
How can I do that? What will it take? Who can I get to help?
How do we build something better for travelers, truckers, and people on the go?

And I knew… change that big would take courage.
That’s when Curiosity & Courage was born.

What started as questions became a mission to build Mahaba Travel Center, the first-of-its-kind wellness travel stop designed to nourish people on the road.
A place with intention. With healthier food, space to move, and a place where travelers feel seen.

The Treat YaSelf journals remind people to slow down, reflect, and invest in themselves.
Every journal purchase helps bring Mahaba to life and lets people know they’re part of a bigger mission.
