“Jackie’s workshops not only challenged me to actually put pen to paper and create, but pushed me to explore myself, my goals, and my drive. I’m producing content I feel good about more regularly than I have in years and feeling more secure in who I am and where I’m going. The women I met on the retreat were so talented and inspiring – I love keeping in touch with them and seeing what they’re pursuing after our shared retreat experiences. I recommend the Pink Pangea travel writing retreat to any woman of any age who has a penchant for exploration and a willingness to try something new!”
-Morgan Fletcher, Venice Retreat

“Thanks to Jaclyn for the awesome Fearless Living Webinar on Monday evening! It was wonderful to hear stories related to travel, writing, and our favorite enemy, self-doubt. So nice to be in the company of fearless women!”
– Anne Castagnaro, Fearless Living Workshop

Over the course of two weeks, under Jaclyn’s guidance, I found new direction for my writing and tackled topics that I haven’t been able to put down on paper until now. I shared my work and became part of a community of writers, whose feedback was invaluable to me. I dove into my fears and created new dreams for what I might do with my writing in the future. I cannot recommend this course highly enough. I’m already sad that it’s over.”
– Katie Kindle, Travel Writing Intensive

now have the motivation and confidence to write and publish, which previously seemed more like a faraway fantasy. I learned that reality is what you create and build for yourself, not something you should wait for or leave for chance to decide.”
– Nechama Winston, Swiss Alps Retreat
