Overlanding the PanAmerican highway in our Landcruiser.
  • 6 years ago, I was stuck in a daydream at my desk. It might’ve been that I’d just seen “Walter Mitty” or it might’ve been fate calling from deep down.. but I jumped on Facebook to see that my brother posted one of those freak plane deals 👉$200 round trip flights to Peru👈 and I clicked. . . I’ve told this story a million times, so you all know where it’s going. All these years later, I’m still here. Sometimes it feels like I never came back from that trip. Never came back to reality. Am I running away? Or stepping into what I’m meant to be? You guys are the wrong people to ask cause I’m sure it’d be a unanimous Keep Going 🙌 ! 🤘! . . . About a month ago, I jumped into a cut out hole in a frozen river. I look back at this photo with intense nostalgia. It might be my fav photo of me ever. If only I could go back to depressed me 6 years ago and show him this picture. Slowly lean over and whisper in my ear how much I got paid for the job (equivalent of 6 mo at that office) . . . . It’s been nearly 4 years of full time jumping into scary places. Nonstop camera slinging, stomach dropping, catching my breath fun. Emphasis on the word: Nonstop. To thrvive into 2020, I need balance. (writing this from the bathtub after a day of construction 💆🏼‍♂️ 🛁 ) . . . Check out @quinsvan for more construction. 🔨 . . . Photo by: @jess.wandering

  • One of the dreamiest swims out there, and the rest of the world thinks so too. Swipe to see the reality of how crowded this place gets. And they say this is the slow season. So to get a shot we wait for a moment between tour busses and still have to edit out a few people. Check the third slide for my Lightroom edit. It took about 15 min to get what I wanted on this one. . . Just cause I know I’m gonna get this question - I don’t sell presets. I don’t use them because I subscribe to the idea that every photo needs something different. Editing is by far my least fav aspect of the job. In my last 100 posts, I’ve had to take out people like this 2 times, so this was one of the tougher and more intricate alterations I’ve done. My average edit time is about a minute. 🏊🏻‍♀️ @jess.wandering

  • Driving in the Yucatan, there’s CENOTE signs everywhere... today that sign led us to someone’s backyard with a hole in the ground that opened up to this 👐

  • It’s been a while since I’ve felt these butterflies behind the wheel. There’s nothing I have to do, but everything I want to do. We got 24 hrs till the first stop. I’ll take this shift, you can get some sleep.
