Hi, my name is Jonathan, and I’m a mass communications major at Texas State University. I started this blog as a project for a media class, and I will be bringing you content from my adventures all over the Western Hemisphere.
Exploring new places and cultures has always been my favorite pastime, and I hope to provide you with insight into places that you would otherwise never know about. I love to delve into the aura of new places, to learn their story, to find the local legends and lore that makes them what they are. I love to speak with the elderly and natives of distinct regions who know things you cannot find on the internet and to record it for those who cannot go there. I record it for you, and this is where I am finally beginning to publish these adventures.
I have been lucky enough to cover hundreds of thousands of miles over the years, and I have toted a camera with me the whole way. I will be including these pictures with my posts, and I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I enjoyed taking them.
Along with simply exploring scenic places, I also have a deep fascination with history and getting first hand stories from locals. I have begun conducting interviews with the elderly, and I am just starting to upload them on YouTube. In the near future, I will post links to these interviews in conjunction with videos from my adrenaline junky activities. I realize that sometimes life can get monotonous, and responsibilities can make the daily grind difficult, but I hope to create a little break in that rat race with a small peek into the amazing sights and experiences our world has to offer!
