I am a freelance adventure travel writer and have spent over 10 years writing content for publications like National Geographic Traveler, The Washington Post, USA TODAY, Travel + Leisure, AFAR, and Esquire.

My passion for adventure has taken me to volcanoes in Rwanda searching for silverback gorillas; biking through the rural farmlands of Myanmar; and swimming in the Devil’s Pool at the top of Victoria Falls in Zambia.

I’ve been scuba diving since 2017 and achieved my PADI Master Diver certification in 2023. Some of my favorite dive trips have been exploring the mystical caverns of Tulum; diving with giant manta rays in the Maldives; and being surrounded by great hammerheads in Bimini, Bahamas.

I document my travels on my Instagram account, @AJEveryday which emphasizes active, outdoor, and mostly scuba diving focused content.
