In this life, we're presented with about 75 years to accomplish whatever it is that drives our hearts to beat. For my heart, it's wandering as far as my feet will carry me, meeting as many people as possible, and sharing the stories of those two things through digital media. We'll see you out there. ***************************IG: @wanderlovemedia*************************** contact: [email protected]

Four hurricanes in two weeks. Millions of acres burning in the Northwest. World-shattering earthquakes ever year. This isn't how things ought to be. But the climate will keep changing until we do.

I'm ready for some rain. Seeing the beautiful places here go up in flames is painful.

Forest fires are apparently just a normal part of Summer now. 😓

Canada's looking better each day.

We went camping on a beach we went to a few years ago. Last time we were here, the fog and clouds stole the show, literally. This time, we had a better view and a fire. This is known as a "win-win" scenario. (at Ozette Beach)

Way too much to do, nowhere near enough time to do it. • • Being an adult has been the biggest obstacle to my growth, creatively. (at Goat Rocks Wilderness)

No moon, no lights, no clouds. The clearest of night skies.

Preserve the natural world. Saying that used to be apolitical.

Seeing @incubusofficial and @jimmyeatworld tonight with my Stacey! (at White River Amphitheatre)

I so badly want to rant about our world and how incredibly unfair it is for so many. But at some point, words of anger and despair run out of steam and lose their effect. Audiences become desensitized or lose interest, and those whose case I state gain nothing. I myself am not affected to the same extent as my brothers and sisters of color, but that does not mean this isn't my problem. All of us white people bear the same burden of condemning racist and bigoted perspectives as victims of those perspectives. I've said before that silence is complicity. Ignoring the behavior we're witnessing from the KKK, white supremacists, the Alt-Right, and the many masks of white Ethno-Puritanism rising to the streets will not make the problem disappear. Both world wars were fought against this ideology; that one race was superior to another. If you oppose it, make it known - ESPECIALLY if you're white. This is not about free speech. This is about nipping the the venomous ideals of Hitler and Duke in the bud and putting hate and intolerance back in its place and out of American society. Speak up.

Escape the noise. Live well (at Outside)

With all this talk of inevitable war, and of nuclear consequences, and of hot-headed world leaders, escaping to the sanctuary of the rainforest sounds more like a need than a want. (at North Cascades National Park)

Vertigo is when your next step is 800 feet below you. (at Columbia River Gorge)

Mt. Rainier wraps herself in a blanket of fog at sunset, as though preparing for the chill of the night. • It is a magnificent thing to share moments like these from the warmth and comfort of one's own sleeping bag. It's a feeling I aim to repeat as long as my body allows it. (at Tatoosh Wilderness)

After one of the busiest Summers of our lives, and with only a couple months of Summer weekending left, we're spending every spare moment we have in the wilderness. • I've spoken about this at length to anybody who'll listen, but I don't think I'll ever be able to express the emotional and spiritual high I get from being out here. One small part of it stems from how much life is put into great perspective in the wild; where those things deemed "important" by society are dwarfed by the perpetuity of the natural world. Out here, it doesn't matter what color your skin is. It doesn't matter how much money you make, or what degree you do or don't have. Nature doesn't care who's president, or who's at war with whom. Out here, it's all irrelevant. Its been this way since long before humanity showed up, and it will be this way long after we are gone. (at Alpine Lakes Wilderness)
