I have some happy news today - especially if YOU have ever listened to my podcast JUMP with Traveling Jackie: We’ve been nominated for Best Travel Podcast at the iHeartPodcast Awards 2025!! This nomination is a HUGE honor, as there are only five travel podcasts in the running, and we’re in some pretty esteemed company. Not to mention that it’s iHeartRadio and will be announced live at SXSW in Austin, TX! I’m grateful to YOU for sticking with me and listening to my voice for nearly 11 years now (🤯). This nomination is for ALL of us! And with our recent refresh of the show and new episodes dropping every other week, I can’t help but feel that the timing feels like confirmation on multiple levels that I/we are on the right track again. Regardless of the outcome, we’re celebrating this as a win! If you want to tune in for the big event on March 10th (7pm CT/8pm ET), you will be able to listen and stream live on select iHeartRadio stations, on the iHeartRadio app, as well as on iHeartRadio's YouTube channel. Mark your calendar! As for me, I’ll be in Austin attending the event in-person that evening. 💃🏻 If you live in or will be in Austin then too - please stay tuned because I may schedule a meetup for us on March 11th! (If you are there and have ideas to help me set it up, please reach out!) In the meantime, check out our new podcast trailer (!!) and catch up on recent episodes anywhere you prefer to listen. Thank you for being part of the village it takes to support a podcast. ❤️ Jackie |

Kalimera from a rooftop in Athens, Greece! (The Acropolis is right in front of me, the sun is SHINING so brilliantly, and I'm getting on a boat tomorrow for our island hopping biking adventure from Athens to Corfu, but I digress...) I'll get right to the real reason you opened this email - YES you read that right - we have a massive GIVEAWAY happening right now through May 16th! I've teamed up with Osprey and Oboz Footwear to give away a spot on my JUMP Adventures trip to Peru this September....
Sometimes waiting until the last minute to book a trip is EXACTLY what we need. Because six months ago, heck maybe even last week, you just didn't know that at this very moment in your life you were going to 1000% NEED a getaway to sunny Greece where you can experience... ...memories of every flavor and color and texture - shared belly laughs, thrilling downhill descents in tight formation, quiet conversations with new found friends on the sun deck or walking a forest trail, dancing and...
This very week I’m celebrating 11 years of podcasting. ELEVEN. YEARS. My first three episodes aired on March 27, 2014, and by April 1, 2014, just four days later, the show was listed front and center on iTunes New & Noteworthy, and the rest is history... Considering that this milestone comes in the wake of having just won Best Travel Podcast at this year's iHeartRadio Podcast Awards, I'm feeling all the feels and just want to share this moment with YOU! To mark the occasion, I invited my...
