My Month in the Daintree Rainforest, Australia
Long overdue, this is a snippet of my time adventuring in the Daintree Rainforest. A place of natural beauty, simple living, and incredible people, a part of my heart with always stay in the Daintree. Check out some of my other written pieces to get a better feel of this amazing place I fell in […]
August 18, 2019: An Aussie Birthday, a Cougar, and a Bonfire
Background: At this point, I was working in the Daintree Rainforest at an ecolodge. Luke, the youngest of the group, was just turning 19. Sweet and shy, we had a goal of bringing him out on a big night. Well, big by rainforest standards anyway.
Lessons from the Daintree Rainforest
This place has given me a lot to think about. It’s given me a lot to write about, too, but finding the words that even begin to scratch the surface of doing it justice has intimidated me from putting my pen to paper (or finger to keys when it’s typed up later. I’m an old-fashioned […]
Life in the Rainforest… Actually
I had to scrap this piece quite a few times already. Heck, it’ll be shocking if anyone ever gets to see it at this point. Writing about the rainforest has been such a curveball for me because there’s so much more to it than I ever thought there would be.

Snapshot: Milford Sound
Honestly, there aren’t even enough words for me to begin describing how spectacular Milford Sound is. Here are a few pictures to try and do it justice instead.
Kaikoura: Hike, Sea Life, and Reconnect
Nestled into a peninsula on New Zealand’s east coast, Kaikoura is simultaneously more and less than I ever could have asked for. More in its amazing scenery, nature, and ability to me bring back to those core essentials. Less because it did all of this with its beautiful, simple charm which reminds me that sometimes […]
