Most people don’t know I used to be a Travel Ambassador for a credit card co. The role combined 3 of my biggest passions: Photography, traveling & working the cc points system. I wasn’t paid to travel, but b/c I was earning the majority of my flights, hotels, and transpo via reward points, they hired me to document my journeys around the world. I’ve been to 49 countries, gravitating to outdoor adventures & nature. I’m a hiker, biker, skier, climber, and surfer. /adventure is a home for adrenaline junkies & nature lovers. I’ve been bad about promoting it, but that ends today. I’ll be sharing pics + stories of places I’ve been fortunate to visit. Hopefully others will post theirs too so I can add some new spots to my bucket list. Will also mix in travel tips + gear + cc hacks + other fun stuff. I’ll kick it off tomorrow, but for now, enjoy this pic of the most picturesque football pitch on the planet located in the Lofoten Islands. If you squint really hard maybe you can see us ;)

there’s no sensation more terrifying to me than feeling as if you’re about to drown. i got caught in the strongest rip currents i’ve ever experienced and it sent me into near panic mode. having grown up in the ocean, i knew what to do - swim parallel to the shore until you can find an entry back in - but it was hard to stay rational when i was being sucked out to sea at a rate exponentially faster than i could swim. i went from waist-high water to the middle of a 40-ft. channel in mere seconds. just outside the channel, 6 ft. barrels were draining inches above razor sharp fire reef. not ideal. i made it back safely and in retrospect, perceived danger was far greater than the actual threat. in these situations panic, fear, and a lack of preparation will compound. grateful to have known how to handle this sitch before it got out of hand. [the vid is from a different beach on a much smaller day but it gives you a good feel for how fast the current is sucking out in the foreground]
