Everything from my travels, in one place

After seven years of traveling the world and sharing it with millions of you, I'm gathering every stay I truly loved, every tour worth booking, every travel find I swear by and gear I actually use and love — all right here.

a little bit about me

Back in 2019, at 31, I retired from corporate health care. My goal was simple: spend one year island hopping in French Polynesia. Live island paradise scuba diving with whales and sharks. Somehow that one year turned into four. Then I sold my house, bought a Toyota Tacoma and build an overland set up. My dog, Porter and I decided to drive from USA to Ushuaia, Argentina aka the 'end of the world'. Sadly Porter passed away in Colombia from liver cancer. I stored the truck in Colombia, returned and finished the trip in 35 months. I'm back in the US for a few blinks and then I'm off to Spain where I may or maynot buy a sexy Porsche for a grand European adventure.

My current goal is to unpack all I have learned with the hope it inspires you to book your first or next ticket to some place new. If there is something I have missed or a specific topic you would like me to cover, send me a message.
