My Story
How did I
get here?
After 10+ years traveling the world professionally and sharing it with others through blogging, video, and photography on ExpertVagabond.com — I was ready for a new adventure.
Virtual Reality headsets like the Meta Quest & Apple Vision Pro have profoundly changed how you can explore new places from the comfort of your home.
It’s possible to experience far off locations as if you are really there!
After months of hard work learning how to film & edit immersive 8K 3D VR180 videos with spatial audio, I’m excited to share these audio/visual experiences with other VR headset users who would like to enjoy these incredible destinations.
Don’t have a VR headset yet? You can also watch my videos on YouTube VR.
Not everyone can afford the time & expense of frequent international travel — and others are simply physically unable to travel.
Virtual Reality travel experiences are MUCH more immersive and realistic than your typical 2D YouTube video. It’s a really fun way to relax and enjoy a new place!
Enjoy a scenic mountain hike, kayak among icebergs, explore hidden Mayan ruins, or ride a camel through the desert (and much more) from home. The future is NOW!
