Every once in a while I stumble upon a product that really changes or improves how I do something. I firmly believe that the Peak Design Capture Pro is one of those products. Photos Courtesy of Peak Design While I was hiking the North Kaibab trail into the Grand Canyon in September I
This Signs of Adventure comes from deep within my photo collection. In January of 2010, along with my Friend John, we made our first winter attempt on the summit of New Hampshire's Mount Washington. While this mountain isn't particularly tall or technically by mountaineering standards, it does offer some pretty epically awful winter conditions. This
Each year, many of us take the last few days of the year to reflect on what we have accomplished, where we missed the mark, and what we would like to achieve in the next year. Resolutions, promises, goals, call them what you will. I simply call mine: "Six Rules for 2014". Nothing too crazy,
For me, 2013 has been quite the year of adventure and travel. I am so very grateful for the places I have seen, the people I have met, and the photos I have taken. These things really have fueled my desire to live and grow. Since this year is rapidly coming to a close, I

This little gathering started a
While I was exploring Iceland earlier this year, we spent a day in the northern town of Akureyri. I had never stayed in a hostel before, so I was especially excited when we decided to stay at Akureyri Backpackers Hostel. The rooms were cheap (about 30 US dollars a night) and the atmosphere was welcoming.
The canyons of the American west offer many variations of color and shape and can propel the imagination into overdrive. While I was touring the western states early this year, I got to see a variety of the different desert scenery from the Grand Canyon to narrow slot canyons and the sheer walls of Zion,
Disney World is a pretty magic place, even to grown up kids like me. I remember the excitement I felt as a child when my parent took me there, and I felt very much of the same excitement when I went back this year. All of the parks at Disney World have a lot of
For years, I have wanted to visit Canyonlands National Park. There is some sort of magical allure to the desert that is undeniable. Utah has always been a place that I loved to visit, especially the area near Moab. I only had a day to spend in Canyonlands, but there is so much that can
