Hey there, Travellers,
Somehow, it's already the end of July, and we're well and truly in the midst of the summer travel season. The Jack's team is not immune to the summer travel bug, of course; from Ibiza to India, Adelaide to Alberta, Oregon to Orlando, and Tanzania to Tuscany, we've been on family trips, attended weddings and bachelor parties, raced tuk-tuks through the Himalayas, and road-tripped along open highways.
And naturally, the first thing we do when we get back to work is share what we saw along the way. Here's a taster of the snaps we've been sharing with each other: |

But what we really want to hear about, dear readers, are your travels. Whether you've been on a staycation near home, spent a week at your fave beach spot, or set off on a whole new adventure, share your 2026 summer travel spots with us in the comments. And if you're still to go, it's never too late to ask for tips from the Jack's Community.
Happy travels and safe landings, |

"Sometimes, you have to gamble on the clouds."
Twenty-four hours before this shot, the entire valley was a total whiteout. A sudden, heavy snow flurry had rolled in, swallowing the Tiger Nest Monastery whole—you couldn't have seen the cliffside, let alone captured the frame. I’ll be honest: I was genuinely concerned the trip wouldn't yield the visual I had come for.
But here is what went down:
As I stood outside the lodge, waiting for my guide to emerge into the biting morning air, the sky began to break. The heavy, grey weight of the storm started to lift, revealing the monastery clinging to the rock face, exactly as I’d pictured.
It was a stark reminder that even with all the planning in the world, the best shots often come down to patience and just showing up. |
