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 |

Hello from Austin! I'm here for the iHeartPodcast Awards, which they call "the Oscars of podcasting" because (in case you missed the memo a few weeks ago) we were nominated for BEST TRAVEL PODCAST (🤯). You know, it honestly hadn't even occurred to me to attend this event until some of YOU started asking me if I was going to go. To say that I am SO grateful I decided to show up is an understatement, because... WE. WON. iHeartPodcast Awards Best Travel Podcast: JUMP with Traveling Jackie The...
"I can do hard things. If I just put myself out there, I can do hard things. Being in a group dynamic, going on a guided tour, which is not usually how I travel, and doing this bike adventure... makes me want to go do this again. I just want to go do this again, because I can. I believe in myself so much more than I did... I can do things that I didn't believe I could." - C.K. THAT right there is what we are ALL about around here. That is a real life quote from a real life person just like...
Hello from Montana, where the sun is FINALLY starting to shine again, snow is melting, and I'm counting down the days until my trails are dry once more. (Wishful thinking, winter doesn't end in Montana until June...) In the meantime, I have some fun news for you! In case you missed it, last week we opened our Peru trip for booking. We still have space, AND (as if we didn't already have you at Peru)... we have BONUS GEAR for all participants! Check this out: For ALL JUMP Peru 2025...
