G’day and welcome!

I was born in the Pacific Northwest where I grew up developing a taste for the outdoors and adventure. When I left the U.S. for the first time in 2007 I was immediately hooked on the idea that there was a whole world to explore, experience and ‘conquer’. I spent the next few years planning my escape and in 2011 I studied abroad in Sevilla, Spain. I then spent two months backpacking around Europe. The next semester I graduated summa cum laude from Boise State University’s business program, and I haven’t even considered slowing down to use my degree.

Since graduating, I have lead four nationwide marketing tours for the Idaho Potato Commission where I was the face and voice for the brand. I created videos, executed the social media campaign, and really just had a kick ass time traveling the country. In between and after the tours, I have been burning my travel fuel by backpacking around Latin America, Europe and Asia. Somewhere along the way I developed a love for shooting and editing video. So now I am sharing my experiences here with you.

I live light and free and am always looking for my next opportunity. I try not to get too bogged down in this game called life. I would love to hear from you and where you are at in life. Never hesitate to reach out with any questions, suggestions or anything else that may suit your fancy.

Cheers,

Ivan the Intrepid
