About
Jackson's Story
Hi, my name is Jackson Staudenmaier. Since I was young, I have had a deep passion for history and hiking thanks to my amazing parents. After I graduated from high school, these passions led me to truly discover the wonders of traveling!
Directly after my graduation, my family and I explored the beauty of America's National Parks through an amazing 3 year long road trip. Over those years, I was able to visit 32 of our nation's national parks — along with many other state and national park units — and my goal is to eventually visit all 63!
This road trip really confirmed my love for hiking, and at home I try to hike at least three times a week; when I am traveling, I either plan trips almost entirely around hiking or try to fit in a quick hike around other travel plans.
By the end of this long road trip, my family and I moved to Brevard, NC. Here, I graduated from Florida International University Online with a Bachelor's Degree in History. Through the experiences of earning my degree, I became particularly interested in Roman and Medieval history. This led me to take several trips to Europe to explore the many great museums and historical sites in Italy, France, and Spain (with a quick foray into Morocco).
After one of these trips, I realized how much I truly love traveling and thought about how I could help others experience those same joys. This is led to me becoming a travel advisor and eventually creating my business, Seize Your Travel. I hope I can help you find a trip that makes you fall in love with traveling just as I have!
