In the first of this possible series I sit down to share a bit about what it's like to live full-time in my Grech van and travel the US and Canada. I also share dive into what it's like to be a full-time wildlife photographer as well. For this episode I'm recording from about 30 minutes outside of Las Vegas in the stunning mountains surrounding the area!
I get asked often about what it's like to live this way and have this job so this is the start to answering more about that to everyone. I start by sharing why I'm doing this video then talk about my current schedule and how we like to approach van life. I share about the challenges of running your own business and how everything falls on you and how that can lead to pressure and stress. I talk about our past week travels heading to the San Francisco area to photograph Grebes and enjoy mountain bike riding as well. I also got to be a part of an online nature photography conference called "Out of Chicago Live!" which was an amazing experience but also added more work to my already busy schedule. Then I ordered a new bike in Vegas so had to head back there to pick it up once it was ready. In between that we headed to Los Angeles to surprise my fiancé Emilie's mom for her birthday. Lastly we planned on heading back to the Grebes in California but the weather had other plans so we last minute changed our plans and headed in the opposite direction!
I hope you enjoy this and please let me know if you have any questions or future topics you would like to hear about in a future episode.
