Hello,

Please advise which version is correct:
"Jump in to adventure."
or
"Jump into adventure."

I asked my friend from the US about it and she said the first option was correct, but my gut feeling says somethign else, so wanted to confirm.

To add some context - the phrase is used as a sub-heading for our website related to round the world motorbike travel.

Please advise.

I think you mean into.

If I understand you correctly, the idea is to suggest that 'adventure' is a kind of container (like a box, or a swimming pool). So only into is correct.
 
As a fellow moderator I am able to see the reference to your motorcycle business that was (quite rightly) removed by one of my colleagues. Why not use ride instead of jump? Jumping motorcycles is inadvisable unless you are Evel Knievel. :)

Hi,
becasue of the name of our project that I believe I can't mention (I would not call it business, it is rather a hobby) relating to an insect that jumps from one place to another we would like to keep the jumping metaphore (and we also do snowboarding and skiing and jump out of planes, so in our opinion it just fits :) )
My concern was rather related to into vs. in to, especially that the latter one was suggested by a native-speaker when I asked the question...

I see that argument, but I prefer Jump in to adventure. The first two words are what we commonly say when we are encouraging people to jump into something. The second two words say what they will find when they jump in.
