For this episode of The All-Around Adventure Podcast, I’m joined by Jen Ruiz, a former attorney turned full-time travel expert, TEDx speaker, author, and the creator of the acclaimed travel blog, Jen on a Jet Plane.
Jen’s journey began in the legal world, where she was on track for a long and successful career as an attorney. But after a period of reflection and solo travel during her final year of law practice. She made a bold decision to leave her firm and pursue a life of adventure. Since then, she’s visited dozens of countries solo, embraced immersive cultural experiences, and built a thriving platform to help others travel more and seek out possibilities.
In this episode, Jen shares the story behind her career shift and what it took to walk away from a stable profession in pursuit of her passion. She talks about the highs and lows of solo female travel, her most memorable cultural experiences, and the unexpected challenges she’s faced along the way. Jen also highlights her bestselling travel books, her inspiring TEDx talks, and how she’s empowering others to see the world on their own terms.
Stay to the end, we have a special surprise guest joining us!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
