Navigating Life's Journeys: A Conversation with Traveling Jackie

from Rise & Wander by Karla Amador of the 52 Hike Challenge · host Karla Amador

In this Rise and Wander Podcast episode, I interview Traveling Jackie (Jackie Nourse) about her award-winning, long-running travel podcast, her inclusive "adventure-hungry" audience, and how studying abroad and learning multiple languages launched her travel path. We discuss slow, immersive travel, practical tips for beginners (passport, choosing destinations, booking the flight), and the courage to take the first step. Jackie shares how divorce led to years of nomadic solo travel, women's retreats, and lessons on self-support, and she recounts a challenging chapter living in a truck camper during COVID before moving toward buying a home.
