Just Launched! Get My 10-Day Iceland Guide Today!

Published 10 months ago • 1 min read

A year ago, I spent 10 days traveling around Iceland on the famous Ring Road. We saw more glaciers and waterfalls than I'd ever seen before. We experienced untouched lands, soaked in hot springs under the midnight sun, and drove the country's longest F-Road.

It's genuinely one of the most magical places I've ever experienced, and I want you to have a similar experience!

Get My 10-Day Iceland Guide for just $30

I told many of you I was working on an E-Book/Guide, and while it took way longer than I expected, I'm so excited to finally release it.

It's 37 pages full of goodies, including:

  • A map with all my top locations pinned
  • 10% off your camper van (pays for this guide and then some)
  • 10 days of things to do
  • Top hikes and places to see
  • Campgrounds to stay at
  • Tours to take
  • A checklist of things to do

My mission from the beginning was to help people travel to amazing places and get to connect with nature on a deeper level. This comprehensive guide is a big step towards that.

Finally, both of my trips to Iceland were to celebrate the end of cancer treatment. Due to that, this place means a lot to me and has allowed me to get back to what I love to do - exploration and photography.

So, hopefully, after your trip, you'll look back fondly and have more memories than you can count.

PS: I've never sold anything like this before, so if something seems funky or doesn't work well, just shoot me an email. I'll get back to you ASAP!

Happy first day of Spring and the NCAA Tournament. Today, I'm hanging out on the couch, watching copious amounts of basketball, and my perfect bracket is already finished... damn you, Louisville! In more personal news, I returned last night from Michigan after taking a last-minute flight out to see my godmother, who is dying from cancer. My mom and I were supposed to fly out next week, but my godmother's condition is worsening, and we wanted to see her before it was too late. It was a somber...

It took them a while, but the rankings of most visited National Parks have finally been released. The NPS also set a new record in 2024 with the most visitors ever! The top park has remained the same for most people's lives—a testament to how many people live on the East Coast and how accessible GSMNP is. The rest of the list tends to be in the top 10, simply shifting around from year to year. This one will be a short newsletter as I'm still getting back into things after being in Las Vegas...
