Traveling and staying in shape contradict themselves. Think about it. A routine and consistency are how most people get in great shape and maintain their shape. Traveling, on the other hand, is about living in the moment, doing whatever looks the most fun, and trying everything – all without a routine.

That's right, I've been on the road, in the air, and across the seas, traveling non-stop every damn day =D. And while this nomadic lifestyle has its perks, it also comes with ..read more

Insanely easy to set up and super comfortable to sleep in, the Yakima SkyRise Rooftop Tent is a pretty amazing piece of equipment to get for your next big camping trip. We decided to purchase a Yakima SkyRise Rooftop Tent before going on a 30 day Road Trip around the United States.

After consistently using the tent for about two years now, I ..read more

Adding some protein to your coffee is quick, easy, filling and super beneficial for your health. Let me explain. Consuming Protein at breakfast increases the release of satiety hormones, making you feel fuller than a typical breakfast of say, toast and cereal. They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and in a way that is true, but only if you're eating the right food and getting proper macronutrients.
