Hey everyone! In this video, I wanted to take a step back from my usual overlanding and adventure content to share a bit more about myself. I'm going to dive into my personal background, including how I got started with creating overlanding content, what inspired me, and what keeps me motivated.

I'll also talk openly about my full-time job, how I balance my professional life with my passion for exploring the outdoors, and how my career influences my approach to creating content. Plus, I'll share some of my favorite hobbies and interests outside of overlanding that you might find surprising.

Whether you're new here or have been following my adventures for a while, I hope this video helps you get to know me better and understand why I'm so passionate about sharing my journeys with you.

Thanks for checking out the episode, and as always, feel free to share your own experiences in the comments—I’d love to get to know you all better, too!
