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 my invitation - she is the real deal, she's so kind, she's just as lovely in person as she seems on TV.

And bottom line is - we made this for you!

And, drumroll please... 🥁 ... You can actually WATCH it!

Yep, we have officially begun our journey into fully edited VIDEOS for the podcast, starting with none other than my new friend Samantha Brown in episode 185. Now I can't hide behind the mic anymore or deny just how much I talk with my hands.

Of course you can still listen on your favorite podcast platform, but if you want to see the faces behind the voices, come join us on YouTube! We have fun, I promise.

Be sure to subscribe to my channel (@TravelingJackie) so you don't miss out on new videos - like this one that just came out last week with my friend Jason Moore from Zero to Travel, and guess what - because it's video, it includes PHOTOS from one of my craziest travel stories yet that happened in Norway last month... so. cool.

I'd be super grateful if you hit like on the videos and leave a comment to tell me what you enjoyed about them, these little acts help more than you think! Thanks for supporting me on this new path of the wild adventure that is podcasting. As always, I'm so grateful you are here, and I hope you enjoy the new video episodes.

❤️ Jackie
