I’m Jackie, founder and host of The Budget-Minded Traveler, an award-winning blog, podcast, and community designed to encourage and equip US-Americans to travel overseas. I also organize and host adventure trips and retreats for my audience, lead mentorship programs for women, and blog about adventure travel and lifestyle at Traveling Jackie. I am a four-time study abroad alum, linguist, polyglot (five languages and counting), and serial expat. When I’m not traveling the world, you can find me exploring the mountain trails and lakes of Montana, my favorite place to call home. I have an All-Around 11’ board and it is one of my happiest places in Big Sky Country.
