Road trip in Southern Albania (photos & stories!)
|
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!) with a glass of wine and record an episode about my experience there.
In this episode, alongside details that will help you plan a future trip to Albania, you'll get to hear my stories, which include delicious food, wild landscapes, the kindness of strangers, and how my friend and I got through a rather scary mishap on a steep mountain pass (ever had to call emergency services in a foreign country/language?). Most importantly, I share the number one takeaway I have from gorgeous Albania. I invite you to grab your headphones and pull up a chair on my balcony! (I saved you a seat)
Please let me know how you like this solo, on-the-go style episode! You can reply to this email or leave a comment here - I'd love to hear from you. 🩵 Jackie |

Known locally as Rapa Nui, Easter Island is one of the most remote inhabited islands on the planet. It's also a Chilean territory, and the only way to get there is to fly from Santiago – about a 4.5-hour flight WAY...
Happy September! I hope you had a great summer, mine was gloriously long and slow -- starting with 6 weeks in Europe, and then a couple solid months in Montana full of outdoor adventures, lots of ice hockey, and quality time with quality people. I can feel time speeding up now as I'm heading into my busier travel season, but before we get there, let's take a step back. We've had some incredibly inspiring people join us on the podcast this summer, and I am so impressed by them and the stories...
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...
