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

Published over 1 year 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!

Hi ya'll! Happy Monday! Jaimie and I went to Chicago this past weekend for her bridal shower with my side of the family. And then we had a big ol' party to celebrate and catch up. I haven't been back to Chicago in 16 months, and it was nice to see family. I also just found out on Thursday that I'll be heading to Canada next weekend for a whirlwind trip to Churchill. I'm still processing it all. When I say I'm shocked. I'm shocked. This was not on my 2025 bingo card. Can't wait to catch you...

Gorilla Trekking in Rwanda In the early 1900s, mountain gorillas were not known to Europeans. By the 1980s, scientists feared that they would become extinct by the end of the 20th century due to poaching and the capture of baby gorillas for zoos. With that fear, conservation efforts ramped up, and Rwanda's government, along with NGOs, made a concerted effort to protect mountain gorillas from extinction. With numbers as low as 240 in the 1980s, they are now over 1,000. A new census is being...

Hi! It's been a long while. I know. The last time you heard from me, I was en route to Rwanda. That was an incredible trip, which I will discuss in more detail later. But first, my recent Colorado road trip. (Considering most of you are from the US, a trip to Colorado is far easier than one to Rwanda.)
