At age 18, Jackie Nourse chose to pursue travel as a lifestyle and never returned to “normal” as she knew it. Now, over 20 years later, she is the host of the award-winning podcast JUMP with Traveling Jackie, and creator of JUMP Adventures, where she designs experiences and invites her community to take the leap and travel the world together.
She has been an ambassador for brands such as Osprey Packs, Oboz Footwear, Atomic Skis, Four Wheel Campers, BikeTours.com, and Carve Designs, and won an award for Best Documentary Short for her collaboration with Osprey on the short film “Chiloé.” When she’s not traveling internationally, she’s either playing ice hockey in Montana or traveling in her truck camper with her mountain bike in tow. Find her at @travelingjackie and TravelingJackie.com.
I produce multi-media adventure travel & lifestyle content, mainly focused on audio and video for JUMP with Traveling Jackie podcast (awarded Best Travel Podcast 2025 by iHeartRadio). I am looking to partner with adventure tour operators, outdoor brands, destinations, and conferences or event planners for the following:
BRAND AMBASSADOR PARTNERSHIP, PHOTO/VIDEO PROJECTS, PODCAST SPONSORSHIP
It started with a genuine passion for backpacks (#gearnerd) that blossomed into an official ambassadorship and even a short documentary film about me and my story against the backdrop of a place that changed my life. That documentary is called Chiloé and it won Best Documentary Short at a 2021 film festival. Osprey was my first “dream brand” collab; they’ve believed in me and what I’m doing from the start, and the feeling is mutual. Osprey is currently an annual Title Sponsor of my podcast.
BRAND AMBASSADOR PARTNERSHIP, PHOTO/VIDEO PROJECTS, PODCAST SPONSORSHIP
Supporting local businesses matters to me, which is why I originally partnered with Oboz Footwear, an internationally-recognized footwear company with a home base just down the street from mine in Bozeman, Montana. Through a photo & video campaign and a podcast sponsorship that turned into an official, ongoing ambassadorship, this is a collab I’m very proud to be part of, not to mention that my feet absolutely love Oboz shoes. Oboz Footwear is also currently an annual Title Sponsor of my podcast.
PODCAST SPONSORSHIP, TOUR PARTNERSHIP
Todos Santos Eco Adventures (TOSEA) is an adventure operator in Baja California Sur, Mexico. I first met TOSEA in 2015, and we later partnered for a Destination Feature full episode (150) for my podcast. Not only did that episode go on to generate business for them, but I loved the experience so much that I brought my community back with me in 2024 on a JUMP Adventures trip. Founder Bryan Jauregui says, “Working with Jackie on her podcast checks all the boxes: it is super fun, the content is fantastic, and her reach and influence are tremendous. We were incredibly impressed by the beautiful social media posts and programs she created and with what a great relationship she has with her followers. It has been a tremendous return on investment in terms of not only exposure and sales, but the sheer joy of being part of the fun and excitement that define the Traveling Jackie podcast!”
PHOTO/VIDEO PROJECT, TOUR PARTNERSHIP
From trying out a few bike tours myself and creating blog posts, videos, and podcast episodes about them, to eventually hosting four bike trips (and counting!) for my own audience via JUMP Adventures, my work with BikeTours.com was one of my most exciting collaborations to date. Founder Jim Johnson says, “Working with Jackie has been a resounding success for BikeTours.com.”
