This conversation goes far beyond packing tips or destinations. It's about using travel as a mirror for who you are, who you're becoming, and what kind of life actually fits you.Expanded Show NotesAs a lifelong traveler, Kevin McNulty has seen how stepping outside familiar routines can strip away comfort and reveal clarity.

Traveling is a great way to break away from the stresses and obligations of daily life, offering newness and changes in the form of new people, sights, and experiences.

Note: I apologize in advance that the sound gets a little warbly in some places here -- my podcast editor did the best he could, but the wifi kept cutting out in Puerto Rico which messed with our audio. Jen Ruiz from @jenonajetplane is a lawyer turned full-time travel writer and author. She is a 5-time Amazon bestseller, 3-time TEDx speaker and 2-time award winning travel journalist. She documents her adventures on her website, Jen on a Jet Plane. In this episode, Jen and I discuss how to use points and miles to travel to and within Puerto Rico, where she currently resides! This episode is particularly special to me because I actually had my destination wedding in Puerto Rico years ago before I knew about points and miles. We got married in a boutique hotel and one of the most popular ways to book boutique hotels on points is by using Capital One miles.

Usually as a content creator, you're creating blogs, video content, and podcast. But there's multiple avenues to get your content and brand out there. Which all begs the question: have you ever wanted to publish a book? Writing a book is a natural segue for many bloggers, but the journey can seem large and long. In Summer of Live 2019, we talked to two Mediavine influencers who are both published authors: Jen Ruiz of Jen on a Jet Plane and Valerie Stimac of The Space Tourism Guide and Valerie & Valise. Jen and Valerie pack this episode with their honest individual experiences in publishing their own books, and give action-packed tips on how you can get started today. Make sure to tune in! Helpful Resources Jen On A Jet PlaneThe Space Tourism GuideValerie & ValiseBecome A Published Author with Jeffrey Eisner | Mediavine On Air Episode 16The Solo Female Travel BookDark Skies 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QV0CgXjrtC0 Transcript [MUSIC PLAYING] JENNY GUY: Happy Thursday, everybody. It is July 11th, and we are in the Summer of Live. I'm Jenny Guy, Mediavine's marketing manager, and it is our month of beyond blogging. So we are talking about the things that tie to your blogging career but might be a little bit outside just the nuts and bolts of operating your website. But we are here and we are so excited today to be talking about book publishing. And I have two amazing guests. But book publishing can seem like a really natural segue for a lot of bloggers. It's an extension of you sharing that expertise that you're already sharing with your audience-- that's sometimes it-- and then other times, it can be the impetus for people to begin blogging in the first place. We've heard a lot of publishers tell us they're great authors, but they aren't able to quite navigate the system and get published, so they decide to start a blog so they can make use of their expertise and their writing skills. But whatever your experiences with book publishing, I'm here with two guests who are both highly successful publishers. We're really excited to have them-- both on their websites and with their books. So first I have Jen Ruiz. Hello, Jen. Welcome. JENNIFER RUIZ: Hi, Jenny. Thank you. JENNY GUY: Awesome. So she is the Mediavine publisher with the site Jen on a Jet Plane, where she writes about affordable female travel solo-- which I think is so fierce and amazing. She's a frequent conference speaker, and she also has her own TED Talk. No big deal there. And, exciting news, she just told me she is doing another TEDx Talk, which I'll have her tell us about a little bit later. But her current TED Talk that's already available for release is "The Power of Flying Solo," which is advocating for travel as a cure for what ails you. She's also a lawyer and the author of the books You Need a Vacation, which is about how to travel with a full-time job, which we all could use, The Solo Female Travel Book, which is tips and inspiration for women who want to see the world on their own terms-- who doesn't?-- and The Affordable Flight Guide, which is how to find cheap airline tickets and see the world on a budget. That last one I just mentioned, The Affordable Flight Guide, just happens to be a number one Amazon best seller. So she has a few things she's worked on. Jen, welcome, and tell us just real quick, what's going on with you in your life right now? I know that I spilled the beans on your TED Talk, but what else is going on? JENNIFER RUIZ: You did. I just got that notification minutes before logging on today. [INTERPOSING VOICES] JENNIFER RUIZ: Hot off the presses, important news. Otherwise, I have a couple of press trips coming up. I'll be, actually, taking a food trip to Grand Rapids, Michigan next week, which I'm so excited about. I worked out really hard today to try to earn my right to eat all the delicious things next week. I have a big move coming up.

Our guest is lawyer turned travel blogger Jen Ruiz. She challenged herself to do 12 trips in a 12 month time span and actually wound up doing 20 trips, all while employed full time. Her journeys took her to Greece, Argentina, Thailand and Iceland to name a few, and did it all before she turned 30. She has been featured in the Washington Post, ABC News and The Huffington Post as a budget and solo travel expert. She's also a best selling author for her debut book back in 2018, The Affordable Flight Guide: How to Find Cheap Flights and See the World on a Budget. She's gone on to write several more books which we discuss throughout the podcast. Jen's success as a travel guru allowed her to hang up her legal shield. In addition to her travels, Jen is a noted public speaker having appeared on TedX numerous times. Her website Jenonajetplane is chock full of stories on destinations, travel tips, remote workers and more.

Jen Ruiz is a phenomenal travel blogger, travel influencer, content creator, and overall business genius. In this episode, she shares the story of how she decided to take 12 trips in 12 months in the lead up to her 30th birthday and how that decision completely transformed her life and opened up a career in travel blogging, with her now having a lot of success on TikTok. Jen is such an inspirational person, she has such a positive take and approach to life and to business. She is a dreamer, like so many of us are in the travel industry, but she's also incredibly strategic and practical in her approach to growing her business. Jen shares loads of really practical tips and strategies in this conversation. I particularly enjoyed our deep dive into TikTok strategies for travel brands. TikTok is such an important platform nowadays because it's where people are seeing the best return on time investment and overall effort right now. It's been great to chat with Jen about how she's grown on TikTok, the types of posts that she's creating, and some of the challenges of the platform like dealing with haters. TikTok is pretty notorious for being a bit of an uglier platform when it comes to nasty comments, but Jen's take on how best to handle and treat those kinds of comments is just really fascinating and inspiring. I hope you all enjoy this episode, and that you can take away some really practical tips to help grow your own travel business. If you loved this episode, please share it with a friend!

On this episode of the Great Indoors, Matt sits down with Jen Ruiz, the travel blogger and author behind Jen on a Jet Plane. Previously a lawyer, Jen is now a number one Amazon best-selling author, a TED speaker and a key influencer in the travel space. During the episode, Jen shares the story of her career path so far and how she pivoted her brand when the pandemic hit. They also discuss the return to travel now that the world is beginning to reopen, and the aspects of life as we know it that may have shifted permanently.This episode of The Great Indoors was produced by Quill.
Jen and I sat down to go over her wonderful and successful career up to the present day. We discussed her transition from being a lawyer to a full-time travel blogger. She is also an established author. Jen is the founder of 'Jen on a Jet Plane' where her aim is to help people live life on their own terms. This ethos in life also led her to become the founder of; 'People of Puerto Rico,' a non-profit organisation, which aims to help local entrepreneurs establish an online income stream. I discussed with her why it was important to write and tell your story, and in particular, writing that journey down in a form of a book. That ambition and goal led Jen to become the #1 bestselling author on Amazon with books like, 'The Affordable Flight Guide,' 'The Solo Female Travel Book,' and her recent book which reflects the current climate today, '25 Ways to Work From Home.' I spoke to her about some of her journeys, including when she set out to complete 12 trips in 12 months before her 30th birthday and why that time was an important part of her life. That led me to speak to Jen about her past relationships. She was very open about some of her encounters and we spoke about whether travel has had a part to play on perhaps why she hasn't settled down. Jen is also a two-time Readers' Favorite Award winner, a 3-time TEDx speaker and has been featured by The Washington Post, Huffington Post, ABC News, and most recently, Forbes. She was a remarkable individual to get to know, and I thoroughly enjoyed our talk. On a personal note, I felt as though I could relate to her journey with mine and I am sure there will be so many others watching and listening in that will feel the exact same way as well. It's funny sometimes how we can all parallel each other's lives. Jen is definitely heading to the moon. I can't wait to see her achieve more of her goals, as I will be one of her biggest supporters going forward. You can also watch the episode on my YouTube channel (https://youtu.be/xhDU_XNJNyQ).
