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 |

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...
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.
