  • Jennie is awesome!

    I found this podcast when planning an Alaska trip was still a dream. I’ve loved listening to Jennie (and sometimes Jay) talk about their experiences in Alaska. Guests on the show are interesting and informative. The only problem is Jennie has taught me that we can’t see it all in one trip. I guess we will have to start thinking about a second! (Also join her on Patreon- the planning club is fun and others will ask questions that you didn’t know you had.)

  • The Best Alaska Traveler Podcast

    Love Jennie’s show. I’ve been tuning in every week for the past year or so to plan our 2026 trip. She’s been extraordinarily helpful with tips and discounts.

  • A Must for Alaska Travel Planning

    Jennie does a wonderful job of not only being incredibly informative, but in providing balanced, complete information to help her listeners make the decisions which best suit their own needs and preferences. She (and Jay) have helped me be better prepared for my 2026 trip, but inspired me to start planning a 2028 one too!

  • Clear information

    I have yet to “test” the information provided in this show; my trip is coming up this spring. But I have been very impressed with the wealth of information provided very clearly. Alaska is a huge topic and she breaks it down very well. I recommend people begin listening well before they start making reservations, if possible.

  • Alaskan Approved

    I have lived in Alaska for over 20 and I listen to Jennie (and Jay) every week. I love to hear about places I have never been, learn from residents and small businesses, and just hear discussions about Alaska. Jennie and Jay have great guests and great travel advice. You won’t go wrong if you use Jennie’s Alaska trip planning and advice.
