It happens every time I come back to Adelaide or stop traveling for a while. I put away the camera and I stop adventuring. I use the stability of a fixed base and no new travels to pour my energy into catching up on work, having an exercise routine, and some sense of normality to …
The wings have been clipped for many and many of us have had to return to our hometown, our base, our nest. A consistent theme has been surfacing in a number of conversations with people from many countries recently. People are realizing that they have never discovered the gems in their own backyard, take their …
Congratulations we’ve made it to the halfway point of the year. 2020 seems to be a bit more about survival than anything else. Some have struggled more than others through no fault of their own but the overall impact on most people’s finances, movements, jobs, and families has been a net-negative. Looking back on the …
For those that end up here reading my little weekly excerpt, I just want to say that throughout this lockdown I’ve never meant to make a title or my situation seem too dramatic so I hope nothing has come across that way. I’ve actually been pretty mellow throughout and I generally have a pretty decent …
Going with the flow is so much easier said than done, but when you can manage to float with the current instead of fighting upstream everything is easier, even if you feel like you are heading in the wrong direction. I think the beauty of that idea is that what we often understand to be …
Thousands turned out today in the city of Adelaide in solidarity with Minneapolis, justice for George Floyd, and the fight against racism in the U.S.A. It was also an important day to look at life in our own backyard where Indigenous Australians and other minorities also battle against systemic racism and still fight to this …
Motivation comes and goes, energy ebbs and flows but pacing yourself is your ticket to longevity. Knowing how to go hard, hustle, and pour yourself into something is a characteristic. Knowing how long you can sustain that input is experience. Whether it be your physical training or your entrepreneurial efforts, the right pace claims victory …
When I made it back to Adelaide, I was pretty drained. It had been a few straight months of shooting, hiking, adventuring and creating content. It’s always super productive, very enjoyable and you are constantly overwhelmed with amazing people, sights, and opportunities when you live at a fast pace like that. However, it does start …
Lockdown has well and truly passed the point of any novelty if it had any, to begin with. It’s now been almost three months back in Adelaide and life has become somewhat a routine even for me. There are elements of routine that are comforting, practical, and downright enjoyable but the unpredictability of my regular …
Right now, for me, it is impossible not to live in the moment. I simply cannot make any plans beyond a month. This is a concept I’ve unknowingly been training myself to deal with over the last few years. Since 2016 I’ve been learning how to live in the moment. Not in the cliche way …
I am well and truly settled in and locked down in Adelaide at this point, which means you start to create a few patterns, rituals, or habits. I’ve been running and riding a lot but there is one session each week, which stands out from the rest. Each Sunday I’ve been heading off with two …
Every seven days I write ‘The Weekly’ and normally it is wrapping up my travels and adventures over the course of the last week. There have been many times where there are just too many hikes, locations, waterfalls, and activities to even bother listing them all in the weekly. However, now ‘The Weekly’ is functioning …
