Getting this one thing right can make or break your trip...

Hello from Montana! I'm gearing up for my upcoming adventures to Peru and Chile starting next month, which includes making sure I have what I need BEFORE I travel. Figuring out what to pack for a trip can be hard enough on its own, but one thing people often overlook is choosing exactly the right luggage to pack and carry with you. I've made many mistakes in luggage choice over and over in my past 20+ years of traveling, and I'm here to help you get it right! Because the truth is... Your choice of luggage can make or break a trip. One of the keys to ensuring smooth transportation, happy back & shoulders, and good organization, not to mention great technical support on your adventure activities, is choosing your packing vessels wisely. Comfortable and manageable luggage is SO important. The goal on a trip is to focus on what you're seeing and doing, not being miserable because you packed wrong. And packing begins with luggage. Over the years, I've figured out exactly what luggage combinations works for me, I have my favorites, and I want to share them with you. So I made you this video:
In it, I share:
Here's the quick and dirty cheat sheet for the all the luggage I review in the video - watch the video to find out WHEN I use each one, and stay to the end for specifics on the must-have travel accessories (these are affiliate links, thanks for using them!):
Please leave a comment on the video if you have any questions about these packs I might be able to answer. I hope you find this helpful! ❤️ Jackie P.S. Yes, all of these are Osprey products. I am an Osprey Ambassador, so naturally this is what I use and adore! No, Osprey did not ask me to make this video. ALL of these opinions are my own, as always. |

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...
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...
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!)...
