Hi, 
​I'm Scott a guy that likes to try new things and see new places, be outdoors in nature seeing wildlife and adventure traveling.

M
y personal journey took me from a financially lucrative career in the box (office) that eventually did not align with my heart and life dreams to a life full of freedom, travel and adventure. 

​This led me to found boldlyexplore to inspire people to achieve wellness (physical, mental, spiritual) through wildlfe-nature adventure travel experiences.
 

My dream is to create a community of explorers, who want to get off the couch, step into the wild, improve their health and wellness, and make a positive difference for wildlife and nature preservation along the way.                  
The greatest life changes happen when you get outside your comfort zone.
​Important discoveries within only rise up when you confront difficulty.

I'm passionate about creating authentic photos, video, and stories that help wildlife organizations, eco-lodges, and conservation projects amplify their impact. If you're with a group looking for hands-on volunteering + content creation (room/board + media rights trade, or modest paid packages for larger work), let's talk.
