When we travel we so often get wrapped up in the details of the adventure that we neglect to remember the importance of self care along the way. While the term “self care” has such a broad meaning to so many, the term to me references the overall quality of life experience you can find through adventure and exploration, but at the same time keeping yourself in the best possible shape for the experience itself. For this reason, I wanted to share my personal self care musts fo
When we select a beach destination we might have in mind finding the right pair of sandals. But before you go investing in a cheap pair of flip flops just good enough to hold together along your travel, you might want to make a few considerations before skimping on the sandals. Sandals are all about allowing our feet to breath and be comfortable while also providing easy access to removing. If you are planning on being poolside or on a beach, these are the ideal footwear sele
After a lot of struggle with the actual process of getting to Questival I was very happy to finally get an opportunity to introduce myself to my teammates, a group of amazing Dyrt Rangers who have a varied skill set which would prove to be very exciting for the event. I arrived Thursday afternoon, the first to camp and after being able to catch up on some work. While awaiting the arrival of my teammates I noticed a sign of good luck, a bunny just beside our campsite. For
Love a good hike or thinking about getting into hiking? The boots or shoes might be important but you might also consider a good once over of your feet before taking on a trail… You are probably looking at this article with a puzzled face at that statement, but a trip to the salon for a pedicure or even an at home spa day for your feet might just be beneficial before you take on a challenging outdoor activity like hiking. It really doesn’t matter if you are a man or a woman o
What better place to hike than a wildlife preserve where nature abounds and is protected for all to see and enjoy. But not so often can you find one in your backyard like many Oklahomans do. In Lawton, Oklahoma a preserve designed to protect animals since 1901 offers just the environment for those looking for adventure as hiking and biking amongst some 240 species of birds, 64 reptiles, 36 fish and most notably the American buffalo, Texas Longhorns, prairie dogs, elk a
A huge thanks goes out to everyone today who supports my blog!! I am excited to announce that today I hit 3,000 followers on Facebook, just a little closer to my goals for the blog as a whole. This makes my overall footprint of subscribed outreach just over 6000 (this includes various social medias as well as the blog landing page itself) I would love now to improve the subscriptions to YouTube so that I eventually can finalize the domain name for that and start providing e
California has long since been known for its rich artistic culture. Usually depicted by films of Hollywood, artists from the streets and rich music the state has such an ample footprint that it is slightly surprising that many local residents weren't extremely familiar with one of the greatest labors of artist labor within the state. Salvation Mountain might be a little off the beaten path, just south of Joshua Tree National Park, but the drive itself is quickly forgotten u
When passing through Highway 23 in Arkansas, just outside of Eureka Springs, I recall a placed called Abundant Memories. Here you could go and see a mountain village and learn of the days of old. Much to my surprise the once rustic, village which painted the tale of a typical frontier family has long since passed just as the age for which it depicted, however something else had emerged just across the winding roadside. J.D. and Cathy Harris have found their home to be qui
When traveling, a major misstep of many adventurers is not being prepared for all scenarios. Upon researching many of the local campsites we quickly realized, many modern conveniences are not available for primitive tent camping sites. As a result, I quickly began exploring options for how to power all of our devices along the way so as to not miss any of the vast photo opportunities around every corner of this amazing earth. Learning more about all options for charging d

Everyone needs guidance, and when planning a lengthy or short journey sometimes just being prepared is an asset toward being able to get the most bang for your trip. Over-scheduling can be an issue, but if you allow yourself the knowledge of those things surrounding you without fully mapping out each and every hour it allows you to have the flexibility you need. I personally found that by mapping out the things of interest it allowed me to follow up a bit more on each so as
