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

Published almost 2 years 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 Friday! Jaimie and I are headed camping on the western side of Rocky Mountain National Park this weekend. It'll be our first time in the Grand Lake/Grandby region. Unfortunately, the main hiking trails off Trail Ridge Road are still inaccessible because the road is closed, but we'll make the best of it. Jaime's worked 12 straight days in the hospital, so it'll be a nice chance to unwind and enjoy fresh mountain air. Plus, we haven't car camped in 18 months, so it's much needed!...

Save up to 50% on outdoor gear this week Hi ya'll! I always try to be helpful with this newsletter, and I feel that saving you money is a good thing!

Howdy! We had a weird week in Denver. It dropped 6-8 inches of snow on Wednesday morning, and by the end of the day, it was nearly all melted. And now we have mid-80's coming our way. Talk about whiplash! But it's been much needed to stave off what could have been a TERRIBLE wildfire season. We're no longer in last place for the worst snowpack/winter on record. Congrats to us all. Personally, life's been slow, and I've been enjoying it. I haven't flown in over a month, which sort of seems...
