Hi Reader, I've wondered how to broach this subject for months now, but the only thing I keep coming back to is that I've never been one to beat around the bush. So, I'll just say it: I'm creating space for myself to focus on some big goals, which means... I'm taking a break from leading group trips. Allow me to unpack what that means into three short parts: 1. Peru is your last chance to travel WITH me. What this break directly means is that my hiking trip to Peru this Sep 24- Oct 4 is your last chance to travel with me for the foreseeable future. We still have 2 spots left. If you've had it on your bucket list to travel with me, or to travel to Peru, or both, the time is now. This is your not-so-gentle push to take a breath, then take the leap, book the trip, do the thing! This invitation may not ever come back around. Your last day to book Peru is June 24th (unless it sells out first). Don't wait until it's too late.
2. I'm taking a leap of my own, and I'm really excited about what's to come. While it has been my dream-come-true to organize and lead the most incredible adventures ever with the BEST people (this community never cease to amaze me) over these past nearly 10 years (I led my first trip to Patagonia in 2016!), the time has come for me to focus on making some of my other really big dreams come true (because if not me, who? And if not now, when?). I'll share more about those with you when the time is right, but in the meantime, I really appreciate your understanding and continued support. 3. We are adventure travel experts, and JUMP is still here for you! JUMP Adventures is here to stay - it's just going to look a little different going forward. I have spent the past decade curating what I believe to be the BEST adventure experiences with the BEST local partners in some of the most epic destinations around the world (like Patagonia, Jordan, New Zealand, and beyond). Those adventures (and more) are all still available to you, at any time, and with anyone you want to bring with you. At JUMP, we've been organizing and customizing our tried and true adventures for private groups, couples (hello, adventure honeymoon!), and friends, for several years now, allowing our custom participants the flexibility of choosing their own travel buddies, dates, and destinations while still benefiting from the expertise and delivery of the JUMP Adventures experience. We believe so fiercely in the beauty and potential of the adventure itineraries we've created that we couldn't be more excited to continue inviting you to far off places to experience them for yourself, with your people. Check out some of our itineraries below, and stay tuned for more!
Back to what's pressing for today: we have TWO spots left for Peru this September, and June 24th is your LAST DAY to book. If you'd like to join me one last time (at least for now!) in lovely, wild, ancient Peru, you know what to do!
Lastly, even though I feel very optimistic about the new door I'm pushing open, it still means that one is closing, so to honor the door that is closing I will say – you, my community of JUMP people, really are the best. You've been the best part of this beautiful group trip experience for me over the past decade, and I can't be more grateful for everything I've learned from you, the friendships I've found in you, and some of the absolute best moments of my life thus far that I've shared with you. THANK YOU for joining me on this wild adventure, and here's to many more to come! (Just maybe in different ways 🥰). ❤️ Jackie |

Yeah let's go back to that first part in case you missed that story - I not only got to meet Samantha Brown in person a few months ago, but I sat on stage with her and chatted through an interview, both of us as guests, both of us answering questions from the perspective of well-traveled females, can I just say it was wild and thrilling and PINCH ME?! And then... I asked her to be a guest on my podcast, and... SHE GAVE ME HER PHONE NUMBER. 😳 But I digress, she also enthusiastically accepted...
Hello from Montana! I just returned from six whirlwind weeks in Europe, where I spent a week in Albania, then led two JUMP Adventures group trips (a bike & boat in Greece and a multi-sport adventure in Norway), and ended with a week in France, including seeing Ed Sheeran in concert! 🤩 Now I need to sleep for a week... but first, some fun for you: On my last full day in Albania, after road tripping around for a week with a friend, I decided to set myself up on a beautiful balcony (see below!)...
Bonjour from France! Coming to you from my pain au chocolat 🥐 and my seat overlooking the Saône river in Lyon with an update for you about our upcoming trip to Peru this fall (Sep 24-Oct 4): Booking for Peru closes June 24th.
