Who Am I?

Hey, I’m Bryce — a traveler, storyteller, and full-time adventurer who’s logged over 150,000 miles exploring the world’s wildest places.

I’ve lived out of a van in New Zealand, camped under stars from the Southern Alps to the Alaskan wilderness, and chronicled it all with honesty, grit, and faith.

I’m not a travel influencer selling you picture-perfect fantasy — I share the real, raw, and rugged side of adventure that prepares you for the unexpected.

I wrote this guide to help you skip rookie mistakes and experience New Zealand on your terms, whether it’s your first trip or your tenth.

Why This Guide?

This isn’t some generic travel blog or recycled advice.

I’ve called New Zealand home, lived the van life, and tested every trail, hitchhiked every road, slept at every campsite, and driven every road trip route so you don’t have to waste time or money figuring it out yourself.

But don’t just take my word for it!

“Dude I love your writing. It’s like the perfect mix of a casual talk with a close friend and clearly knowing exactly what you’re talking about. Haven’t read through everything yet, but just wanted to let you know I’m loving it.” — TD, 170k Instagram followers
