TRAVEL GUIDES FOR ADVENTURERS
I’m here to help you plan epic adventures.
I’ve spent years traveling in North America, Hawaii, Mexico and Scotland - discovering the best hotels, incredible restaurants and epic hikes.

You’ll find guides to my favorite destinations along with helpful tips and tricks to inspire and help you plan epic adventures of your own.
