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: I said we're doing Peru in style, and I meant it! Grab your spot here to jump on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience Peru's gorgeous Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu with me -- AND your brand new backpack and shoes -- before it's gone. As always, reply to this email with any questions! ❤️ Jackie |

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...
Story time: Once upon a November 5, 2011 at sunrise, I was the very first person to enter Machu Picchu through the visitor gates. Once through, I didn't even wait for my travel buddies. I ran down the path until I could see the ruins before me and was met with silence, a misty morning fog, and a wild thrill of being alone in the Lost City of the Incas. I may have happy-hollered and took a bad, sweaty selfie. I turned and went up a short trail that brought me to an overlook, where my people...
