Hello podcast listeners and others who have stumbled upon this page!
On June 10th, 2026 a special open mic episode of my podcast will be published, and this resource page accomanies that episode.
I’ve amassed here several stories I’ve written throughout the past decade to document and acknowledge my journey of going from –> fully nomadic –> to testing out Colorado –> to relocating back to Montana –> to living in a truck –> to finally buying a house of my own.
Feel free to leave a comment here or by email or on IG (@travelingjackie) and share any thoughts. I would love to hear from you! Thanks for being here.
