🦊📸 Wildlife Photography Guide ⬇️ 🛟 Save 4 Later ⭐️

After spending years doing photography across North America, these are some of the biggest wildlife photography lessons I’ve learned.

📍 Favorite wildlife photography locations

⭐️ More detailed location info in the pin comment and on individual slide captions

• Alaska is hands down my favorite destination. Nowhere else comes close for the variety and quality of wildlife.
• Grand Teton National Park is my favorite place in the lower 48. Moose, elk, bighorn sheep, bears, wolves, coyotes, and much more.
• Yellowstone is especially incredible during winter.
• For mountain goats, the North Cascades are hard to beat. Sahale Glacier Camp is one of the best places I’ve ever photographed them.

📸 Biggest wildlife photography tips

• Winter is often the best season. Animals move to lower elevations and are much easier to find.
• Get as low as possible. A low perspective makes wildlife feel much more immersive.
• Use the widest aperture your lens allows to create beautiful background separation.
• Sunrise and sunset almost always produce the best light and wildlife is usually most active around these times.
• Be patient. Let the animal come to you instead of chasing it.
• Rain, snow, fog, or blowing snow can completely transform an image.

If this helped you, save it so you have it before your next wildlife trip, and let me know your favorite wildlife photography destination below!

📍 Arctic fox I photographed just off the Dalton Highway in the Alaskan Arctic, one of the few places you can drive to see Arctic foxes. Amazingly, they are not afraid of humans and so they are some of the easiest animals to photograph.

🚐 Van life has taught me that the best campsites are always free, and the best adventures are the ones you had no idea were going to happen until they were..

CDMX North America’s Best Destination City 🇲🇽 Save to plan ⬇️
📍 Mexico City, Mexico

I genuinely don’t understand why more Americans don’t just fly to Mexico City for a weekend.
You could probably spend less than a major U.S. city, eat way better food, see way more, and have a more interesting trip.

Mexico City might be one of the nicest cities I’ve ever visited: clean, walkable, friendly, and honestly safer feeling than a lot of major American cities I’ve spent time in.
The Greater Mexico City metro has about 22 million people, but somehow still feels easy to explore.

Crazy facts about Mexico City:
📌 The historic center is built on the ruins of Tenochtitlan, the old Aztec capital, and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
📌 The Metro has 12 lines, 195 stations, and rides around 5 pesos. (25 cents)
📌 Mexico City has more museums than almost anywhere on Earth, and the food scene is insane: taco stands, markets, fine dining, street snacks, bakeries, everything.
📌 Chapultepec is basically a giant forest in the middle of one of the biggest cities on Earth.
📌 You can go from malls nicer than almost anything in the U.S. to nearly 13,000 ft volcano landscapes in a few hours.
📌 The city is surrounded by wild volcanic terrain, from Popocatépetl 17,759ft and Iztaccíhuatl 17,103ft to cinder cones swallowed by urban sprawl.

My favorite things to do:
📍 Eat at local restaurants and taco spots.
📍 Visit a massive market and just wander.
📍 Walk the historic center, Roma, Condesa and Coyoacán.
📍 Ride the Metro, because crossing a city this huge for almost nothing still feels unreal.
📍 Visit the insane malls in Polanco or Santa Fe, then get to the outskirts to see local Mexico.
📍 Take the side trip up to Paso de Cortés, where the road climbs close to 13,000 ft between Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl.
📍 Visit Nevado de Toluca if open. I missed it because it was closed, but it looks like another world high in the mountains.
Mexico City is not just a city you “check off.” You could spend months here and still barely scratch the surface.
It might be the best weekend trip in North America.

📍Monterrey - Mexico’s Most Beautiful City🇲🇽🏙️⛰️

If you think Mexico is all beaches + colonial towns… Monterrey will melt your brain.

Crazy facts about Monterrey..
• Greater Monterrey is Mexico’s 2nd-largest metro (5.3M+ people)
• Torre Rise is UNDER CONSTRUCTION at 475.1 m - planned to become the Second tallest building in all of the Americas by roof height.
• Monterrey already has Latin America’s tallest building: T.OP / Torres Obispado 1,001.6 ft (305.3 m)
• Also home to Torre KOI 917 ft (279.1 m) the second tallest building in Mexico

Best part? You can go from glass towers to epic mountain trails in less than 30 minutes.

A postcard from a month of off grid freedom 🚐☀️

Power was the one thing that kept making van life feel less free than it looked.

I reached out to Renogy because when your home, work, food, cameras, lights, and connection all depend on one system, you need power you can actually trust.

When I first dreamed about van life, I pictured waking up wherever I wanted, staying as long as I wanted, and enjoying views no hotel room could compete with.

Then I hit the road and realized power was quietly deciding so much of my life.

Checking the battery percentage.
Planning around the sun.
Choosing campsites based on charging instead of beauty.
Leaving places I wanted to stay longer because I was running low.

After more than two years on the road, I finally upgraded my setup with Renogy, including 720W of shade resistant ShadowFlex solar, a 400W solar blanket, a 60A DC to DC charger, two 300Ah mini lithium batteries and a 3000W inverter.

And honestly, I wish I had done it so much sooner.

Over the last month, I stayed at some of the most beautiful campsites I have ever found. Places my old setup almost definitely would have forced me to leave early.

But this time, I worked, edited, charged cameras, ran the fridge, used lights, stayed connected, and stayed as long as I wanted.

I have not even come close to running out of power once since upgrading.

That is what made this month feel like real off grid freedom.

Not just being able to drive anywhere,
but being able to stay.

When it comes to putting together the perfect off grid power system, Renogy really is your trusted energy solution.

Renogy’s 16th Renogy Day campaign is happening now, so if you are building or upgrading your own off grid setup, this is a great time to start putting together a system that can power your travels and help you stay longer in the places you worked so hard to get to.

Check out Renogy, and DM me if you have questions about what I upgraded and why.

What is the dream campsite you would never want to leave?
