Since 2008, I've been a full-time travel photographer and international tour organizer, having created and led over 130 five-star-rated international tours in over 30 countries on 7 continents, plus over 100 domestic tours in the U.S.

When not traveling, I can often be found in Chicago, my hometown; however, I've been location-independent (meaning I have no permanent home) for 13+ years and traditionally spend anywhere from 8 - 9 months on the road internationally scouting and leading my tours.

I operate Continental DRIFTER® Experiences (https://ContinentalDRIFTER.co) and I have a YouTube channel under my Continental DRIFTER® brand (http://youtube.com/continentaldrifter).

I'm also the author of a new series titled The Mindful & Intentional Traveler which encourages globetrotters to slow down, connect deeply, and live with curiosity.

It includes:

•           How to Be a Mindful Traveler: Deepening Your Travel Experiences Using the 5+ Senses

•           Travel Activity Book for Adults! GRATITUDES Edition

•           60 AFFIRMATIONS for Travel: Adult Activity Book

•           And the newest, Bucket Lists for Travel: Places to Go Before Your Knees Give Out! (https://tinyurl.com/bucketlistsfortravel)

I love discussing intentional travel, solopreneurship, lifestyle design, and how to build a meaningful second act in life. I'd be honored to join you on your podcast and share stories, lessons, and a few laughs along the way.

Let’s help your audience travel deeper — not wider.
