The story

Why I started JakeSpike Wanders

“The best trips aren't the most expensive ones — they're the ones that fit you.”

I'm Jake, a firefighter based in the Denver area with a serious love for getting out and seeing the world. When I'm off shift, I'm usually planning my next trip or out on one myself, whether that's motorbiking through Vietnam, snowboarding in Japan, exploring Africa, or road-tripping through U.S. national parks and the Pacific Northwest.

Travel taught me pretty quickly that the best trips take real legwork. From rugged outdoor adventures and golf trips with buddies to beach resorts, honeymoons, and family getaways, I started JakeSpike Wanders to take those hours of research and logistics off your plate and build trips that fit how you actually like to travel.
