Inside Osprey: How to Pack, Travel, and Get Outside with Vince Mazzuca (JUMP 199) Dec 10, 2025

What does it really take to build great adventure gear, and what does packing look like for the people designing it? In this energizing conversation, Jackie sits down with longtime friend and colleague Vince Mazzuca, Osprey's Category Director for Technical Products, to explore how Osprey creates the packs we trust on the trail, on the road, and in the unknown.

Vince shares his journey from growing up between Sacramento and Pittsburgh to becoming a Yakima tech rep traveling from Florida to Maine, to working at Ruffwear, and finally landing at Osprey over a decade ago. After ten years as Osprey's Marketing Director, he recently transitioned into product, working with design teams across Colorado, Vietnam, and Tokyo, and shaping how packs evolve for different global markets.

Jackie and Vince also reflect on years of creative collaboration, including the award-winning Chiloe documentary and the redesign of the Fairview/Farpoint series. They also dig into real-world packing: organization styles, packing cubes vs. chaos, and the layers and essentials they never travel without. Jackie also shares a bonus for listeners: her customizable Adventure Packing List (linked below). And as Vince says, the best pack is the one that gets you out the door. Book the ticket, go explore, and learn as you go.

How Trail Running Transforms Your Travels with Alex Sanchez (JUMP 198) Nov 26, 2025

What if travel could become even more meaningful simply by bringing more of yourself into it?

In this wide-ranging and heartfelt conversation, Jackie sits down with trail runner, storyteller, and adventure-driven creative Alex Sanchez, whom she met on a magical trail-running Day of Adventure in Patagonia during the Adventure Travel World Summit. What started as a chance encounter on a bus turned into a conversation about purpose, community, and the uncommon ways we can build deeper meaning into our travels.

Alex shares how an immersive internship in the Dominican Republic transformed her understanding of connection and set her on a path toward community-centered travel, while she and Jackie explore the power of intention in travel, designing trips around what you love, and why the unplanned moments often matter most. They also dive into Alex’s experience running the Leadville 100, a 100-mile ultramarathon through the Colorado mountains, where she reflects on the emotional depth of the race, the support of her closest friends, and the profound realization that our limits are far more flexible than we think.

Whether you're a seasoned traveler, a runner, or you’re craving more connection in your adventures, Alex reminds us to chase the things that light you up—and to bring your people along for the ride.

The Impacts of Slow Travel by Bike with Ryan Van Duzer (JUMP 197) Nov 12, 2025

What if the key to rediscovering joy, connection, and hope in humanity was as simple as slowing down?

Join Jackie as she sits down with adventurer, filmmaker, and lifelong bike advocate Ryan Van Duzer, whose life on two wheels has become a mission to inspire connection, sustainability, and joy through travel. From his early vow at age eight to never own a car to his incredible ride home from the Peace Corps in Honduras, Ryan's story is a testament to how slow travel can open hearts and minds.

In this conversation, Ryan shares lessons from decades of pedaling across the Americas—from small-town generosity and backyard deer in West Virginia to challenging stereotypes on a recent ride through the Deep South. He and Jackie dive into the power of human connection, the importance of being an ambassador for kindness, and how seeing the world up close reminds us that people everywhere have more in common than we think.

Ryan also discusses his work in bicycle advocacy, raising funds for organizations like People for Bikes, Community Cycles, and Bikepacking Roots to help kids and underrepresented riders discover the freedom of cycling. His message? You don't have to travel far to experience the magic of slow travel—just hop on a bike, explore your own backyard, and rediscover the beauty of moving through the world at human speed.

The Real Treasure of Easter Island / Rapa Nui (JUMP 196 Part 2) Oct 29, 2025

What does it mean to truly belong to Rapa Nui? In this second and final part of Jackie’s immersive Easter Island experience, she sits down with local guide Tokerau to uncover the living culture behind the island’s iconic statues. From ancestry and family stories to the protected laws that keep multinational corporations off the island, this episode reveals how Rapa Nui’s people continue to preserve their identity in one of the most remote communities on Earth.

Tokerau shares personal reflections on what it means to be Rapa Nui—how bloodline defines belonging, how Chilean colonization reshaped life here, and how local efforts continue to protect land, language, and autonomy. Along the way, listeners will hear about the island’s volcanic origins, the ancient Rongorongo script, and the deep linguistic connections between Polynesian cultures like Hawai‘i and Aotearoa.

Through humor, humility, and heartfelt pride, Tokerau reminds us that while the Moai statues may be what bring people to the island, it’s the living culture—the songs, the stories, the language, and the people—that keep its spirit alive.

If Part 1 (Episode 195) explored the Moai and the mysteries of the island’s past, Part 2 celebrates the resilience, respect, and pride of the Rapa Nui people today.

A Tour of the Moais of Easter Island / Rapa Nui (JUMP 195) Oct 15, 2025

What if the stone statues could actually see you? On Rapa Nui, the moai “came alive” only when coral-and-obsidian eyes were set in place—turning carved stone into guardians watching over their people. In this immersive audio tour, Jackie takes you across Easter Island’s windswept platforms, quarries, and coastal vistas to decode the moai: what they meant, how they were moved, and why most face inland. You’ll hear field recordings from the trail, learn why an official guide is essential for 90% of the National Park, and stand (sonically) before Ahu Akivi’s seven moai aligned with the spring equinox and Orion’s Belt. Plus, practical trip tips (plan on 3–4 nights) and a listener perk: 5% off a custom Chile/Argentina itinerary with Eco Chile when you mention JUMP. Don’t miss part two (Ep. 196) for Jackie’s most jaw-dropping find on the island.

After completing the Great Divide Trail, Jada set out to hitchhike 500 miles back to Montana—and along the way, she discovered the power of trust, the kindness of strangers, and the unexpected magic that happens when you leave room for it. In this continuation of her story, Jada shares unforgettable encounters with trail angels, surprising meals with strangers, and the lessons that only long-distance hiking can teach. From trail magic to her mantra of “live so hard, it hurts,” Part 2 of our conversation will inspire you to lean into life, embrace the unknown, and seek out your own adventure.

Maps, Miles, and Meaning – Sherry Ott’s 30-Year Bike Quest (JUMP 190) Aug 06, 2025

She grew up watching her dad walk across the country—literally—from capital to capital. Decades later, Sherry Ott is finishing what he started… by bike. In this episode, Jackie sits down with the travel veteran (and six-time guest!) to talk about her latest quest: a cross-country cycling journey that’s equal parts tribute, personal challenge, and epic adventure.

What began in the 80s with paper maps and pushpins has become “Capital to Capital,” Sherry’s self-filmed docuseries chronicling her ride through rural America. Along the way, she’s faced down busy highways, wild dogs, flat tires, and self-doubt—but also discovered unexpected connection, confidence, and joy in the process.

It’s a story about legacy, learning as you go, and saying yes to something big before you’re ready.

JUMP 165: Jordan is... Nov 30, 2022

Escape to hike the Jordan Trail, sleep under the stars, wander the Wadi Rum desert, visit the ancient city of Petra, and float in the Dead Sea.

A little over four years ago, I took a group of adventurous podcast listeners to Jordan for the first time: to hike the Jordan Trail, sleep under the stars, wander the Wadi Rum desert, visit the ancient city of Petra, and float in the Dead Sea.

It was, unequivocally, the most surprising place I’ve ever visited. And if you know me at all, you know that’s really saying something.

Jordan is like nowhere I have ever been, and as I ramp up to go back in April 2023, I intentionally revisited this magical country through the two podcast episodes I created when I returned home from that original trip. As I transported myself back to 2018, immersing myself in nearly two hours of Jordanian adventure, culture, food, language, and people, not to mention many, many trip highlights and memories (and goats), and SO much laughter, I realized something…

There's no way I couldn't NOT share this Jordan experience with YOU all over again. It's too good, too dreamy, too funny, and simply too delightful on a cloudy winter day to keep only for myself.

So I hopped into my editing software and spliced two amazing episodes about Jordan into one NEW episode, to invite you back with me to this oh-so-special place, right here, right now.

Grab your best travel escape headphones. We're going on a little trip.

BMT 99: "It Seems Impossible Until You Do It." Moving Forward with Erin & Erin Zipperle. Sep 19, 2018

We first met Erin and Erin in episode 52, right after they had sold everything and moved to Austria, with a plan to stay for two years. Three years later, we get to reflect on how this journey has changed their lives and shaped their paths going forward. We talk about the importance of living in the moment, embracing new surroundings, and looking forward and around at life rather than backwards all the time. Everyone who has returned home from travel needs to listen to this episode!

BMT 98: The Hardest Part of Travel is Returning Home: Reflecting with the Bensons Sep 05, 2018

We first met the Bensons, a family of five, in episode 67 when they were preparing to take a giant leap, sell their house, and travel around the world for a year. We caught up with them again halfway through their trip while they were in South America to see what that trip ended up looking like (episode 76). Today, we get to chat with them again, now that they have been back in the US for over a year. This is a hard conversation, and we ask the question, "How do you keep the travel spirit alive at home after a huge adventurous trip has passed?"

Returning "home" is often the hardest part of travel, and not letting go of the life changes, but instead figuring out how to apply them to your new "normal" is the confusing part. Join us today as we reflect on the Benson's family trip and how it's permanently changed their lives, and as we dig into this question, the possibilities and opportunities that surround us, and how to take appropriate action in moving forward and adjusting to a new normal.

BMT 97: Life After Two Years Teaching English Abroad with Maddy Wolfe Aug 22, 2018

As we approach episode 100, I'm bringing back some of our favorite guests from over the years to talk about where they are now. Today we chat with Maddy Wolfe, whom you'll remember from episodes 66 and 77. When we first met her, she was about to graduate college and take a job teaching English in Israel for a year. The second time we talked to her, she was in the middle of her year in Israel, and now, she is on the other side of another year abroad teaching English in Malaysia. Join us today as we chat solo travel, the Fulbright ETA program, loneliness, coming home after two years of teaching English overseas, and what's next for Maddy.

BMT 94: Travel in JORDAN! Jordan Trail, Dead Sea, FOOD, Safety, and MAGIC Jul 11, 2018

Quick link to my Jordan recap.

I have finally checked Jordan off my bucket list! I spent three weeks exploring beautiful Jordan in May 2018, attending an adventure travel conference and then taking a group of YOU with me hiking on the Jordan Trail to Petra. My guest today, Ban Barkawi, is a Jordanian friend of mine whom I met studying abroad in Italy years ago. Listen as Ban and I talk about travel in Jordan, safety, customs, attractions, history, FOOD, and so much more, including:

Five days hiking the Jordan Trail from Dana to Petra (named a world's top multi-day hiking trail by National Geographic)
Camping with the Bedouins in the desert
Feynan Eco Lodge
Jordanian FOOD and local communities
Um Qais (Northern Jordan)
Petra - the Siq, the Monastery, the Treasury, Indiana Jonesing
Wadi Rum - sleeping in Martian Domes, jeep tour in the desert, lamb cooked in the earth
Dead Sea - an experience that you absolutely MUST feel for yourself!

My guest today is my beautiful friend Ban, whom I met studying abroad in Italy when we were just 20 years old. She is Palestinian Jordanian and here to share her insights on living in this beautiful country. We got to meet up in Jordan on my first day there after not seeing each other in 9 years. Some friendships just never change.

Ban Barkawi is a Jordanian multimedia journalist and radio presenter based in Amman, where she hosts a daily morning show at an English-speaking station. Together with the podcasting platform Sowt she produced Eib, a podcast in Arabic that addresses gender-based taboos. In 2013 she produced the award-winning TV documentary Refugees in Business about the livelihood of Syrian refugees in Jordan's Zaatari camp. Ban holds an MA in multimedia broadcast journalism and a BA in news-editorial journalism.

Find Ban on Twitter and Instagram @banbarkawi - feel free to reach out to her if you have any questions about Jordan, she is an amazing human.

BMT 82: South America by Motorcycle with Casey Wong Jul 31, 2017

Casey Wong bought a motorcycle and shipped it to South America, where he proceeded to ride it from Colombia to Argentina, on his own. In Ecuador he ran into a friend of mine, which prompted an introduction to me and eventually a few beers in person as he passed through Bariloche, where I happened to be living in Argentina. With the notorious Patagonian winds, questionable roads, and oncoming winter, I worried about his safety as he continued south. A year later, we get to hear the complete story of Casey's motorcycle adventures through South America, including best resources for traveling motorcyclists, how to ship a bike to South America, logistics and advice for the road, and what Casey always, always kept in stock on his bike, no matter what sort of challenges he faced.
