“For years, we’ve tried to explain the intangible magic of a rafting trip,” says Kam Wixom, Marketing Director at Western River Expeditions. “Ironically, what people fear most—the lack of Wi-Fi—is exactly what transforms their experience. JOMO isn’t just about escaping technology; it’s about rediscovering life.”
Why JOMO is the Ultimate Adventure Upgrade
Digital detox retreats are trending as people seek an antidote to information overload. A 2025 survey found that 72% of Americans feel overwhelmed by constant digital connectivity—and 68% would consider taking a break from screens for mental well-being. Western River Expeditions offers an escape where travelers can swap stress for serenity, endless scrolling for epic scenery and FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) for a far better deal—JOMO.
