Mini bio
How it started.
Jackie is Egyptian and was born and raised in the southern United States. Working for Delta Air Lines in 2012 gave her flight benefits and a reason to explore. When a colleague cancelled a Switzerland trip, she went alone, an experience that changed how she travelled.
Finding her audience.
She started Jou Jou Travels and her Instagram in 2018, then took both more seriously during the pandemic. In her 2023 Niche Pursuits interview, she recalled growing to 100,000 Instagram followers in three months as an early adopter of Reels.
Building a life around travel.
An internal move at CNN helped her relocate to London. She became a full-time blogger in 2023. Her work centres on solo travel and finding colourful architecture, smaller towns and places beyond the busiest tourist stops.
