Hi, This email is personal. It’s not about the trips we have coming up. It’s not about the latest episode of the podcast. It is simply a message from me to you, and an invitation. Most of last year was a b*tch. Despite making some well-intended changes to my life and business, I had a really tough year. This year I'm on a new track (largely thanks to taking a sabbatical last summer). Whether you know me in person or through the podcast or IG, or even if you don't know me very well, I invite you to open this link and read the personal update I wrote recently. It's a bit vulnerable, but it’s real, and so am I, so here we are with some new words for 2025. My hope is that you reading my words will reconnect us a bit and shed some light on some changes you may start to notice, even starting with the different approach to this email. I also hope what you read makes you look forward to opening more emails from me, because I’m looking forward to sharing many exciting things with you in the coming months. There are a lot of good things happening around here, so you can expect to hear from me a little more often going forward. That's all 🙂 thank you for being here. Cheers from Montana, Jackie |

Hello from Austin! I'm here for the iHeartPodcast Awards, which they call "the Oscars of podcasting" because (in case you missed the memo a few weeks ago) we were nominated for BEST TRAVEL PODCAST (🤯).

To say that I am SO grateful I decided to show up is an understatement, because... WE. WON. iHeartPodcast Awards Best Travel Podcast: JUMP with Traveling Jackie The...
"I can do hard things. If I just put myself out there, I can do hard things. Being in a group dynamic, going on a guided tour, which is not usually how I travel, and doing this bike adventure... makes me want to go do this again. I just want to go do this again, because I can. I believe in myself so much more than I did... I can do things that I didn't believe I could." - C.K. THAT right there is what we are ALL about around here. That is a real life quote from a real life person just like...
Hello from Montana, where the sun is FINALLY starting to shine again, snow is melting, and I'm counting down the days until my trails are dry once more. (Wishful thinking, winter doesn't end in Montana until June...) In the meantime, I have some fun news for you! In case you missed it, last week we opened our Peru trip for booking. We still have space, AND (as if we didn't already have you at Peru)... we have BONUS GEAR for all participants! Check this out: For ALL JUMP Peru 2025...
