Who Am I?

Jackie is a writer, traveler and editor extraordinaire.  She’s also the resident web guru (and by “guru” we mean “novice”).  You might even say she’s a Jack…ie of all trades.  She was well-traveled as a kid, but didn’t really develop a passion for it until after college.  In an extremely cruel bit of irony, Jackie’s passion for traveling is at constant odds with her intense fear of flying, and she’s anxiously awaiting the era of travel by teleportation. When she’s not traveling, Jackie enjoys not being on an airplane, watching sports (especially hockey), and working as an editor for morning radio.  Email her at jackie [at] thejetpacker.com

Bret is a 20-something writer, traveler, hockey fanatic and staring contest runner-up from Southern California.  He helped launch TheJetpacker.com and was the site’s main writer throughout its formative years.  He’s since moved on to bigger and better things, but still appreciates hearing from anyone who likes (or dislikes) his articles. If you’d like to remind him of how unfortunate it is to have the initials “BS,” feel free to e-mail him at bret [at] thejetpacker.com
