Planing Your Trip to the West End of Roatan, Honduras

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

If you tell someone you’re headed to Roatan, blank stares and a questioning look are sure to be the immediate response. This little island off the north coast of Honduras in the turquoise Caribbean waters has not found itself on many tourists bucket lists… yet. Roatan has been a scuba divers destination since the early 90s, with more dive sites within 100 yds of the island’s shoreline than I’ve seen anywhere in the world. Lucky for me, my wife, Courtney, had always knew about this little slice of paradise and we planed our diving trip here for 2025! West Bay …

Incredible Natural Hot Springs of São Miguel, Azores

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

I don’t care how many hot springs you may have visited, whether they are in a remote wilderness, or in a fancy hotel, the hot springs in the Azores should be on everyone’s travel list. In just the week we visited São Miguel, the largest island in the Azores, we soaked in 3 very different hot springs. There was the traditional large pool and small soaking tubs of Parque Terra Nostra in the valley of Furnas. Then there were the small pools of Caldeira Velha Hot Springs up in the jungle on the volcanic slope of Volcano Água de Pau. …

Video // Chasing Sun Part 4 in Oregon

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

We are back in the van again, pointing Hoagie west to head off on a month-long road trip through Oregon and Northern California. I signed up for the Downieville Mountain Bike race with some friends at the end of July, so it’s an excuse to extend the trip and see some incredible places we haven’t been to like Crater Lake and the Redwoods! Of course, stopping by some familiar places along the way. The trip was filled with so much fun, a lot of training, more work, but in the end, memories we’ll never forget! While in Oregon, we spent …

Video | Caye Caulker Belize Full Trip!

The island of Caye Caulker, off the coast of Belize, is the dream tropical vacation destination. Filled with endless opportunities to go SCUBA Diving, sport fishing, drink tropical drinks, and even a short ride away from amazing excursions for Horseback Riding and Cave Tubing. This place seems to have it all and cannot recommend it enough! Video from our trip there, albeit, a year later, but better late than never!

What is There To Do in Key West, Florida?

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

Paradise, admittedly, is an overused phrase these days, to which I am absolutely guilty of. A word that has lost its meaning and also means something different to every single person. To some, an ice fishing hut on a frozen lake when it’s -50F outside is paradise, though far from mine idea of a good time. Most others would default the word to a beach with a cold drink as their version of paradise. If you follow Route 1, starting all the way up in Maine, you’ll cross many versions of paradise. But it’s the terminus of Route 1, where …

Visiting the Bentonville, Arkansas Mountain Biking Mecca

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

An amusement park for mountain bikers! That is the best way I can describe my visit to Bentonville, Arkansas. With millions of dollars being funded to develop mountain biking trails and accommodations for bike access, this place is catering to the adventure seeking tourists, as well as real mountain bikers alike. On my first ride here, I looked down at my computer after hitting a few trails, out of breath, and an ear to ear smile, and realized I had only been riding for 13 minutes. With the minimal public space and forests they have near town, Friends of Arkansas …

First Winter Traveling in the Van // From Florida to Arizona

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

What started as an idea on a walk around our neighborhood in the historic winter of 2022/2023, thinking of ways to escape the snow, quickly snowballed into reality. That spring we sold our Tacoma, bought a van, and then spent the next 9 months building it out to prepare for as much travel as we could in 20224. Of course it wasn’t with out it’s challenges and frustrating moments when the build didn’t go quite as planned or the internet wasn’t what we needed it to be. But in the end, it was one hell of an exciting winter. Our …

Finally Finished My Adventure Map

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

Inspired by RoadTripRyan’s adventure map, detailing the locations of all of his experiences in the greater Utah area. I finally decided compile all 400+ posts into a map of my own. For the past ten years, it’s shocking to see all the places I’ve written about in that time. Looking back at my first posts detailing trip to New Orleans and EDM concerts that I’d travel to, all the way to the countless adventures in the mountains around the world. From reviews of hostels in Iceland to reviews of my favorite backcountry skis, the BD Helios 105s. I’d like to …

Endless Pursuit of Trying Everything Once

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

We only get to live this one, short life. Right? Being realistic with myself, even at the less-than ripe young age of 33, I won’t be able to do everything I want, nor see every place in the world. It’s a sad realization, but an honest one at that. Will I climb Mount Everest, race the Leadville 100, or sail around the world? Who knows. Even though I won’t be able to check off all my goals in life, I am damn sure going to try to cross off as many things as possible. As my grandfather used to tell …

Surviving a Heatwave in Mount Shasta, California

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

It’s easy to change a weekend plan to avoid rain, cold temperatures, or whatever the reason. It’s slightly more difficult when you plan a month of travel on the road, and an abnormal heat wave blankets Northern California for two weeks during our trip. During the peaking temperatures, rising over 110 degrees, we found ourselves in the town of Mount Shasta with plans to camp that were quickly dashed and required immediate change of plans. Needless to say, working inside of a van that felt like an oven was a recipe for disaster, but we made the most of it …
