Camping on a Beach in Mexico | Baja California Van Life
This is what it was like. :) Baja was such a fun place to spend the winter months.
The journey continues... heading south from San Ignacio in Baja California Sur, we meet our friends in a remote camping spot on the outskirts of the quaint little town of Mulegé. Along the way, we pass volcanoes in the desert, the French mining town of Santa Rosalia, and the "Eiffel Church".
This was a perfect introduction to what the rest of Baja California Sur would have in store for us.

Whale Watching in Guerrero Negro, Oasis Camping in San Ignacio | Van Life Baja California
zhlédnutí 142Před 2 měsíci
Did I mention I love Baja? Halfway down the Baja California peninsula, we (@nic-bec and I!) made it to Guerrero Negro, where we booked a gray whale watching tour with friends Mario's Tours (would recommend!) to go out into the UNESCO-recognized site, Laguna Ojo de Liebre. This lagoon is considered one of the most important breeding areas for the North Pacific Gray Whale, a once-endangered speci...
I Drove to Mexico. Van Life in Baja California Begins

Baja California had been on my list of places I dreamed I taking my van. The opportunity came to cross the border with friends Nic and Bec (@nic-bec ), and this is how it all started. From Mexicali on south, we got our first taste of van life camping in the Mexican desert. This video captures only the first few days of our two month journey across this incredible peninsula.

Exploring Arizona’s Volcanoes Near The Grand Canyon
zhlédnutí 324Před 3 měsíci
600. That's how many volcanoes are between Flagstaff, Arizona and Grand Canyon National Park. This is an active volcanic region called the San Francisco Volcanic Field, filled with cinder cones and lava tubes like I explore in this video. Understandably overshadowed by the presence of the Grand Canyon to the northwest, these volcanoes are still incredibly fascinating to explore and learn about....
How I Explored DEATH VALLEY National Park | From Ancient Lake to Endless Dunes
zhlédnutí 151Před 3 měsíci
Death Valley is a land of extremes. It's the driest, lowest, and hottest place in North America, yet due to record rainfall from Hurricane Hilary in August 2023, the ancient Lake Manly has returned to Badwater Basin. This 'ghost lake' has long been dried up but was once several hundred feet deep during the last Ice Age. The last time Death Valley National Park experienced Lake Manly's return wa...
Solo Backpacking the Grand Canyon for 3 Days
zhlédnutí 1,1KPřed 4 měsíci
Ever wonder what it'd be like to hike down and camp at the bottom of the Grand Canyon? You're in the right place. In December 2023, I hiked the South Kaibab Trail from the South Rim to the Colorado River at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. Spending two nights at the Bright Angel Campground next to the famous Phantom Ranch, I explored some of the inner canyon trails that branch off of the famous ...
I Spent Two Months Alone in the Wilds of Colorado & Utah
zhlédnutí 516Před 4 měsíci
Fall 2023, my solo van life journey continued high in the Colorado Rockies and far into the Utah desert. This past October and November was life-changing, such solitude and beauty found in nature. I didn't know how I wanted to share that creatively with the world... until now. To anyone reading this, I hope you're well. Enjoy seeing these wild wonders through my (and my camera's) eyes :) Thank ...

With warm days and chilly nights, Colorado in September is a beautiful time to explore. I spent three weeks south of I-70 enjoying the beauty that is 'Colorful Colorado'. Van life in the Rocky Mountains. Hiking in the San Juans (perhaps my new favorite mountain range in Colorado), driving the Million Dollar Highway, experiencing the 'Switzerland of America' in Ouray.

At 11-miles round-trip with 2,700' of elevation gain, this popular trail takes you through lush forests along rocky stream beds, through Arch Rock cave, under Alum Cave Bluffs, and ultimately up Mount LeConte's summit where you find the rustic and famous LeConte Lodge.

Cades Cove is vehicle-free every Wednesday from May - September, which creates an amazing opportunity to experience the 11-mile loop in a spectacular way - by bike! And I have never seen so many bears in my life! 🐻 Clingmans Dome, at 6,643', is the highest point in all of Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Tennessee. Sunsets from the top are out-of-this-world - as are its stargazing opport...
Tail of the Dragon & Hiking Shuckstack Fire Tower | Great Smoky Mountains National Park
zhlédnutí 199Před rokem
Welcome to Great Smoky Mountains! If you watched my last video, you saw this whole trip nearly ended early... I'm glad it didn't. On this first day around the park, I explored Tail of the Dragon, one of the most famous scenic drives in Tennessee/North Carolina (and supposedly the USA). It mainly draws sports car/motorcycle enthusiasts, but I took my trusty camper van through the 11-mile, 318-tu...
Adventure & Anxiety | Solo Van Life in the Southern Appalachians
zhlédnutí 172Před rokem
Hi, y'all. So all the videos I'd made up to this point from the van were from my ~15,000 mile, 9-month trip around the western USA in 2022-early 2023. I've since spent over 5 months catching up on all the edits from that time, and this upcoming Southern Appalachians / Great Smoky Mountains series is the first solo van life adventure I've taken since playing catch-up on all my previous videos......
