Hi, I’m Harry. I was born in the wilds of Alaska, spent summers as a Wilderness Ranger, and now travel Europe by train, bike, and foot – sharing the beauty of its national and regional nature parks through storytelling, guides, and photography.
My Story
I was born into wildness.
Starting my life out in Alaska, nature wasn’t a weekend escape – it was a way of life. My earliest memories are of towering forests, endless mountains, and the quiet presence of something bigger than all of us.
Although I moved away early on in my life, the need for wilderness, nature and calm stuck with me. When I moved south, the national parks became my playground. Later, working as a Wilderness Ranger in Colorado during my university summers, I learned not just how to love these wild places, but how to protect them.
However, when I moved to Europe everything changed.
I started traveling from one nature park to another, discovering landscapes that felt different from the wide-open spaces of the US West. These parks were smaller, older, more woven into human history – but no less important.
I realized these places needed voices too.
In 2022, I took on a challenge few attempt: walking across Europe, from Amsterdam to Istanbul. Trailblazing my own route through the various landscapes of Europe. Step by step, I crossed mountains, valleys, and forgotten trails, coming face-to-face with wild boars, brown bears, and hearing the lonely howl of wolves at night.
Sharing the journey on TikTok, I gained 180,000 followers and global attention. For a moment, I lived a dream: connecting people to the Earth through raw, unfiltered adventure. But when I reached the Bosphorus, the trail ended. And with it, my sense of direction. I didn’t know what was next.
Life didn’t magically work out after the adventure ended. I moved to Luxembourg, the richest country in the world, but arrived broke, disoriented, and searching for a new mission.
It took time, reflection, humility.
And finally, it clicked: my path had never really changed.
It was always about the wild places.
Today, I’m setting out again – this time with purpose:
🏞️ Documenting Europe’s national and regional parks through film, writing, and photography
📜 Building free, detailed guides so others can experience these places too
