I’ve wondered how to broach this subject for months now, but the only thing I keep coming back to is that I’ve never been one to beat around the bush.
So, I’ll just say it:
I’m creating space for myself to focus on some big goals, which means… I’m taking a break from leading group trips.
Yes, JUMP Adventures is changing.
Allow me to unpack what that means into three short parts:
1. Peru is my last organized group trip for now.
What this break directly means is that my hiking trip to Peru this September is the last group trip I’m organizing and leading for the foreseeable future.
2. I’m taking a leap of my own, and I’m really excited about what’s to come.
While it has been my dream-come-true to organize and lead the most incredible adventures ever with the BEST people (this community never cease to amaze me) over these past nearly 10 years (I led my first trip to Patagonia in 2016!), the time has come for me to focus on making some of my other really big dreams come true (because if not me, who? And if not now, when?). I’ll share more about those with you when the time is right, but in the meantime, I really appreciate your understanding and continued support. You can continue to follow along with me on the podcast and IG!
3. We are adventure travel experts, and JUMP is still here for you!
JUMP Adventures is here to stay – it’s just going to look a little different going forward. I have spent the past decade curating what I believe to be the BEST adventure experiences with the BEST local partners in some of the most EPIC destinations around the world (like Patagonia, Jordan, New Zealand, and beyond). Those adventures (and more) are all still available to you, at any time, and with anyone you want to bring with you.
In the form of custom trips – for YOU and YOUR people!
At JUMP, we’ve been organizing and customizing our tried and true adventures for private groups, couples (hello, adventure honeymoon!), and friends, for several years now, allowing our custom participants the flexibility of choosing their own travel buddies, dates, and destinations while still benefiting from the expertise and delivery of the JUMP Adventures experience.
We believe so fiercely in the beauty and potential of the adventure itineraries we’ve created that we couldn’t be more excited to continue inviting you to far off places to experience them for yourself, with your people.
Check out some of our itineraries here!
Lastly, even though I feel very optimistic about the new door I’m pushing open, it still means that one is closing, so to honor the door that is closing I will say – you, my community of JUMP people, really are the best.
You’ve been the greatest part of this beautiful group trip experience for me over the past decade, and I can’t be more grateful for everything I’ve learned from you, the friendships I’ve found in you, and some of the absolute best moments of my life thus far that I’ve shared with you.
THANK YOU for joining me on this wild adventure, and here’s to many more to come! (Just maybe in different ways 🥰).
❤️ Jackie
