Chris and Sara bought a 1988 Land Cruiser Camper and set out just over a year ago with plans to drive it from the US all the way down to Argentina, with their dog Kramer in tow. Today they tell all as we find out what kinds of adventures and major misadventures they got into throughout Central America, and why they now have their sights set in an entirely new direction. Our conversation flows from traveling with a dog, to balancing home life and camper travel, to the chaos and beauty of life on the road, vehicle issues, interacting with locals, the importance of slow travel, and how travel affects us all individually and uniquely through different times of our lives. Chris and Sara are podcast hosts of What No One Tells You and YouTubers who share their travel experiences—the beautiful, the not so great, and even the near death—and how they get through the hard things and keep going with smiles on their faces.

Adventure is stepping out into the unknown, whether that takes us deeper into our backyards or across the world, and we have the choice to say yes to it. Saying yes to adventure sets in motion a path toward strength, resourcefulness, education, and ultimately lessons and momentum to carry us forward. Saying yes to adventure has the power to completely alter our paths. Join Jackie and guest Jordan Campbell — journalist, photographer, humanitarian, and documentary filmmaker — as they discuss the idea of the tao of adventure (essentially the natural course of adventure), what adventure means, and what it looks like to live a life of adventure, ultimately creating the full picture of our stories and ourselves as we pursue the adventures that call to us. This episode’s stories and observations are a bit of a treat for the philosophical mind and will leave you with a personal invitation and challenge to say yes to the adventures that call to YOU.

This episode is one for the books. Eleven years ago this week, Jackie first launched this podcast. Why? Largely because of the advice of Podcast Hall of Fame inductee Lou Mongello, who is here as a guest host today. Listen in as Lou himself picks up the mic and turns it on Jackie, to reflect on and celebrate the past decade-plus of her podcasting journey.

We’re taking a deep dive behind the scenes, starting with how the podcast began, overcoming fears and challenges, building community through travel, finding purpose and fulfillment, balancing passion and business, Jackie’s key to success, and looking ahead to the future.

The timing for this conversation couldn’t be better, as we just won Best Travel Podcast 2025 at the iHeartRadio Podcast Awards. We wouldn’t be here without YOU, so we all have much to revel in today. Thank you for being here.

Pro tip: today’s episode pairs well with something to cheers with!
