FAQs

Q: What is the purpose of Jeanne of the Jungle? Why did you start it?

A: First and foremost, Jeanne of the Jungle’s mission is to provide a comprehensive packing guide, tailored specifically to remote locations like the Costa Rican jungle. I understand that packing for such trips can be a daunting task, which is why I aim to simplify and streamline the process.

Secondly, I leverage my fashion background and keen eye for on-trend styles to help readers discover the best fashion options available on Amazon, and other affiliate partners’ websites, which saves you the time and hassle.

Q: Do companies pay you to endorse their products?

A: No, I never receive money from companies for endorsing their products. I refuse to accept free products, and I abhor the idea of manufacturer-sponsored content. My goal is to provide travelers with comprehensive guidance on what to pack for a jungle excursion, taking into consideration the unique challenges and requirements of such an adventure. To that end, I accept no ads on the site and accept no paid product endorsements.

Q: So how do you make money?

A: The revenue to fund Jeanne of the Jungle comes from the support of readers like you. Here is how readers fund my work:

  • Links to online retailer sites on the products being recommended. If you click on a retailer's link on my site and make any purchase, the retailer will contribute a small percentage of the sale to help support this site. It won't cost you anything extra, and it's a simple way to help fund my site.

Q: What is your motivation and objective?

A: I understand that finding stylish and functional clothing and accessories for remote travel can be challenging, but I’ve done the research for you. My website showcases a carefully curated selection of fashionable items that are not only on trend but also suitable (and needed) for jungle environments. With my assistance, you can focus on enjoying your adventure without the stress of packing and fashion choices.

Q: Do you test the products you endorse?

A: The short answer is No. My website is to provide a platform for sharing suggestions and opinions on various products. Please note that the selections featured on this website are not tested products but rather personal recommendations and viewpoints.

Q: How often do you update/change the products on your site?

A: I add new products to every category on a weekly basis. The new products will be at the tops of the pages, so it will simplify finding the new stuff.
