Charleston → Arctic Circle
So you saw my truck and thought "what's this guy's story?"
Well, here it is.
Why Drive 12,000 Miles to the Middle of Nowhere?
Most people think I'm crazy. "Why the Arctic?" or “Why not just fly?” they ask. Because this isn't about getting somewhere — it's about becoming someone. I used to be the guy who never left his comfort zone, who chose safety over everything else.
Then Life Happened.
A few years back, everything I thought I knew about life got flipped upside down. My father was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer, and given 6 months to live. Not long after, my brother took his own life. Around the same time, I was taken advantage of.
As a result, I spent way too long hiding from the world.
But somewhere along the way, I realized something:
you can't live a meaningful life from inside your comfort zone.
I picked up a camera. I started driving around South Carolina. I naturally started taking solo overnight trips — sleeping in the back seat of my truck in Tennessee. And along the way, I began documenting not just where I went, but what I was thinking and feeling along the way.
The messy, real stuff that happens when you're alone with your thoughts for days at a time.
So I Started Living Differently.
Then I Discovered Something Huge.
When you're honest about struggling to find purpose and meaning, other people recognize that feeling. Now there's a community of tens of thousands who follow these journeys — not for travel tips, but because we're all trying to figure out what a life well-lived actually looks like.
So I’m just here to tell you to make the most of your life, because for many years I did not. And if you don’t quite know what that looks like, spend enough nights alone under the stars, and you might discover not only the purpose you were created for — but the Creator Himself.
This Trip To The Arctic Circle Matters For Many Reasons…
But most importantly, because months on the road and 12,000+ miles alone in a truck gives you a lot of time to think. I'm documenting the real thoughts, the moments of doubt, the breakthroughs that happen when you remove all distractions and just drive toward something that scares you.
