New Zealand

March 2019

My brother and I spent three weeks traipsing around the two islands getting to know the Kiwis and their small slice of heaven nestled in the South Pacific. Plus, we figured out a loophole to being single on Valentine's Day: fly west and skip the entire day! 😂 We departed SFO at 22:45pm on February 13th and landed on the 15th after crossing the international date line.

Ireland

October 2017

I spent 13 days road-tripping around the Southern half of Ireland with friends. The Irish drive on the left side of the road and don't believe in road shoulders, so driving can be a bit stressful. There are abandoned castles all over the place, and you'll likely stumble upon one you weren't even expecting.

Isle Royale National Park

September 2017

I spent two consecutive summers making the 6 hour voyage across Lake Superior to camp, hike, and explore one of Michigan most remote and magical places.

Iceland

May 2016

Two trips for two weeks each exploring the land of fire and ice. Lots of waterfalls, mountains, and geothermal pools.
