Real Adventure

When depicted in movies, adventures feature an assortment of fantastic action sequences that would immediately kill the protagonist if ever attempted in real life. Movies do this because physical action can be photographed by a camera, but it's bullshit, like this staged photo of me in a submarine at a WWII museum. Real adventures are abstract, psychological journeys better represented by written stories, but which are hampered by privacy, skepticism, memory and more. They are a series of choices, lessons and characters you sleep with along your path to a deeper understanding of yourself. So here are some I can share.

My Travels

All the places I've lived and seen.

Camping in the Arctic Circle

A video about my experience solo-camping in Saariselkä, Finland in 2023.

Saint Petersburg 2021

All the beautiful things that happened when an unhinged American "freak" had to go to a hostile, paranoid Russia during the covid pandemic (and pre-Ukraine war).

Bitcoin Millionaire

I can't even begin to explain what a crazy series of adventures this set off in 2017.

Mushroom Trip II

The time I tripped hard with my actor friend, Randy, in California in 2011.

Mushroom Trip III

The time I spontaneously took Blaiz to Yosemite National Park.

Tokyo 2023

My first trip to Japan.

Roadtrip USA 2010

The time I drove to LA with only a compass. My plan was to head south until I hit water and then turn right.

Cherries & Clover

Shooting this feature film in 2008 was so crazy.

FINGERS Mitchell Cullen - Freedom Rides

This right here is the Spirit of Adventure. Will you answer the call?
