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 |

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...
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...
