I caught up with the charismatic Jeff Jenkins, a trailblazer in redefining the narrative of plus-size travel. As a plus-sized content creator and National Geographic adventure host, Jenkins is breaking boundaries and advocating for accessibility in the travel industry. I was captivated by his exhilarating tales from scaling 70-foot rock cliffs to swimming with sharks. His story is a testament to resilience, diversity, and the resolve to redefine the world of travel.

It was thought-provoking hearing about Jeff's superpower - the ability to inject a positive vibe into any situation. His zest for life is infectious and his perspective on stepping beyond one's comfort zone is refreshing. Being the first black, plus-sized content creator on our show, Jeff's upcoming National Geographic show 'Never Say Never with Jeff Jenkins' promises to be a game-changer, as it embarks on an eight-part series of life-transforming adventure challenges. A conversation that was long overdue, and we hope to see more of such diverse representation. 

Our conversation took an interesting turn when Jeff shared his passport stories and insights for fellow plus-sized travelers. From convincing his 60-year-old dad to get a passport to reminiscing about his trip to Japan, Jeff's travel anecdotes are heartwarming and inspiring. He emphasizes how travel changes one's perspective, paving the way to meet different people and experience diverse cultures. Jeff also shares practical tips for plus-sized travelers, encouraging them to explore freely and confidently. His empowering outlook on travel, representation, and accessibility is a beacon of hope for every plus-sized individual yearning to see the world.
