    Frequently Asked Questions

    FAQs

    Do you accept guest blogs?

    No, I do not accept guest blog posts at this time.

    Can I quote you as an expert source?

    Sure, I'm generally happy to provide a quote as an expert source in your article for topics like travel, hiking, gear, culture, and more.

    I've been referenced or featured by many media outlets including TIME, USA Today, NBC News, BBC Travel, Travel+Leisure, and lots of international tourism bureaus.

    Can I buy drone footage from you?

    Sure, just send me a note letting me know what footage you’re interested in!

    What camera/drone do you use?

    At the moment I use a Fujifilm X-T5 camera and a DJI Mavic 2 Pro drone, although most of the pics on this site were taken with my older X-T2. You can find more info about the rest of my travel gear here.

    How did you start traveling?

    I fell in love with travel during a 2015 hiking trip to the rocky mountains in Colorado.

     

    The next year, I did my first major international trip — a solo road trip across Iceland.

     

    My budget was small, so I slept in the back of a rental car for 1 month while I drove 7,000 kilometers around the entire country, filming all of the scenic places in Iceland.

    What’s your favorite place to travel?

    Bali, of course! That's why it's our second home between travels. Bali is budget friendly, warm, and there's so much to see and do. I also love the people of Bali and that's why I married one of them. 🙂

     

    Outside of Bali, we’ve really enjoyed places like Japan, Egypt, Myanmar, Hawaii, etc. There are very few places we’ve traveled that we didn’t like in some way or another, even in spite of their flaws.

    Where do you book hotels?

    Booking.com is my preference for international travel. Their pricing is more transparent and they usually have the best terms.

    Is it safe to travel the world?

    I come from a very small and conservative town in the US, so I get this question a lot. It's also a question I used to ask myself sometimes when I first started traveling.

     

    Nowadays, the thought doesn't really cross my mind. I don't think a life of world travel is as risky as it may sound on the outside, but even if it is, I'm still okay with that.

     

    I've had plenty of questionable moments in my travels, but I know this: life is meant to be lived. I could never spend my days in an office cubicle. I was given a body, a mind, and a thirst for adventure, and I can't not use it.

     

    If you're afraid to live your life because you might die, then you've already died.

    What do you use for editing photos/videos?

    I use Adobe Lightroom for editing photos, and Adobe Premiere for videos.

    What are your social links?

    You can find me on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and YouTube.
