Hey friends,
First off—thank you for being here! Whether you’ve followed my journey for a while or you’ve just discovered Time to Xplore, I’m so glad you’ve found your way here. This Patreon is the next step in building a community around curiosity, adventure, and finding ways to keep exploring—no matter the limitations life throws our way.
🌍 Why I Started Time to Xplore
Time to Xplore was born out of something simple: the undeniable urge to get out there and see what the world has to offer. As someone living with disabilities and physical limitations, my path to adventure looks a little different than most. There are challenges, setbacks, and plenty of “I’ll have to figure this out another way” moments—but the fire to explore never goes away.
I started this project because I wanted to show that adventure isn’t about climbing the highest mountain or traveling to the farthest corner of the globe. Sometimes it’s about rediscovering what’s in your own backyard, finding a new trail you’ve never noticed before, or rebuilding a vehicle that gets you a little closer to freedom.
🚙 What You’ll Find Here
Here on Patreon, you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at the world of Time to Xplore—from my ongoing projects (like rebuilding and upgrading my trusty 2000 Ford Explorer, “Nessie X”) to the creative process behind videos, blogs, and podcasts. You’ll also get to see the ups and downs of living this life off-script and on purpose.
This isn’t just about my story—it’s about building a community of people who want to keep exploring, in whatever way they can.
✨ Why Your Support Matters
Your support helps me keep creating honest, trustworthy content without falling into the influencer trap of promoting stuff I don’t believe in. It means more time spent exploring, sharing stories, testing gear, and connecting with all of you.
Together, we can prove that exploration isn’t limited by physical ability, budget, or circumstance—it’s powered by curiosity, creativity, and determination.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. I can’t wait to share what’s next.
Let’s keep asking the question: How do you adventure?
