Welcome Fellow Wildlife Adventurers!
Hello! I’m Ben, a traveler, adventurer, and wildlife enthusiast. I was always a huge animal lover while growing up, but didn’t know the experiences that awaited me until I joined the Marine Corps.
Arriving at my first duty station, I immediately deployed to Kenya (along with Uganda, Tanzania, and Somalia). I was immediately enchanted by the boundless beauty. The vast, open spaces stretched endlessly, a canvas of untamed wilderness teeming with life.
The wildlife stirred my spirit, as did the warm and vibrant people. It was here, amidst the symphony of nature and the land, that I discovered a deep and abiding love for Africa and its wild, untamed heart.
When I separated from the military, I had traveled to 32 countries. I swore though, I would return to Africa many more times, and continue to traverse for wildlife in new places.
I’ve now had the privilege of journeying to 91 countries, immersing myself in the wonders of places like Botswana, Nepal, and Peru. Each destination, with its unique landscapes and rich cultures, has deepened my appreciation for the diversity and beauty of our world.
Welcome to my travel blog! My journey into the world of exploration and adventure began with my time in the Marine Corps. It was during these years of service that I developed a deep passion for travel, sparked by the opportunity to experience diverse cultures and landscapes across the globe.
This passion has grown into a love for wildlife and a commitment to conservation. As I’ve traveled, I’ve had the privilege of encountering incredible animals and witnessing the natural beauty of our planet. These experiences have reinforced my belief in the importance of preserving our natural world, not just for us but for future generations.
On this blog, I share my adventures and insights, offering a window into the wonders of nature and the importance of protecting it. Join me as I explore the globe, uncover hidden gems, and advocate for the conservation of our precious wildlife.
Whether you’re a fellow traveler, a nature enthusiast, or someone who loves a good story, I hope you’ll find inspiration and joy in my stories and experiences.
