Mount Kilimanjaro took a lot out of me but after nine days on safari, it was time to pull on the hiking boots again. This time I was heading up Tanzania’s second-highest mountain, Mount Meru at an altitude of 4,566m. I was curious to see how I handled the altitude given the quick elevation gain …

The last trek on Madeira was tough, damn tough. The Caminho Real 23 had 8500 meters of elevation throughout 180 kilometers of distance. We packed that journey into a week, and carried a heavy pack with camping gear and I carried a lot of photography gear including a drone and multiple lenses. The adventure was …

Long transits around the world are always an interesting time for me. It’s a chance to test your patience throughout four transfers, rules, and all the mayhem airports bring.
