A FREE Packing List For You - Inside
|
Hello friend! I just returned from a writing retreat in Scotland... ✨ It was unlike any trip I've ever taken, and I can't wait to share more about that adventure with you in the near future, but for today, I have a little gift for you. Yesterday a new episode of the podcast came out featuring my friend Vince Mazzuca over at Osprey Packs, and we talked about all things packing, travel, and the importance of getting outside and disconnecting. (Listen to it here or watch it on YouTube). In the episode, I mention an adventure packing list that I created (and personally use, all the time), and I want to share it with YOU! Packing for adventure travel is very specific, because you need to make sure you have the right layers for the right weather for the right activities, etc. Collecting the right gear can be daunting, which is why I've tried to make it easy for you. This is the same packing list I provide to all of my JUMP Adventures participants, and it can be adapted to fit any type of adventure. In it I share tips about luggage choice, clothing, and gear, including bullet point lists, and even links to some products I specifically recommend (with inspiring photos from a recent trip!). Check it out and bookmark it so you can use it for your next adventure!
I hope you find it helpful, and I hope you can use it very soon! 💛 Jackie |

Hello and happy May from Montana! (Scroll for a photo of me in my new HOUSE!) I'm here with two resources for you today: There is a happy coincidence in the last two podcast episodes we've published (aside from my opinion that they are both super inspirational...) - both are centered around community AND getting your body moving in the outdoors, IRL. What's not to love?! 52 Hike Challenge - Meet Karla, Founder of 52 Hike Challenge - summarizing this one with this - if you need motivation,...
A friend recently came to me seeking advice regarding my lifestyle around travel. He finds himself "at a bit of a crossroads" in his life and specifically wanted my perspective. My little podcast heart thought, Oh this is going to be good. We should definitely have this conversation, but we should have it out loud for others to hear and potentially benefit from as well. Because I know that nearly all of us hit the "crossroads" at one point or another, or if you're anything like me, you hit it...
Once upon a December of 2017, I set off in a Toyota 4Runner down the length of Chilean Patagonia with a friend to drive the famous Carretera Austral - Chile's "Southern Highway." This "highway" is interrupted by fjords and lakes (and therefore lots of ferries), and dotted with volcanoes, glaciers, coastline, vast expanses of remote landscapes, and jaw-droppingly beautiful national parks. On that trip, I experienced the most freedom I've ever felt in my adult life. Fun Fact: This region of...
