AYAHUASCA REALIZATIONS 🌿 “You died. You almost cried for help. You felt true terror. Pounding heart. Loss of control. Holding on by a fingernail to a speeding train. All alone, facing something, someone, indescribable. What was that? Who was that? You made it. Every trip has an end. You’re ok. It’s ok. You’re safe. I am an insignificant mote, I mean nothing. My existence is an electron in an atom. I will melt into nothing when I die, no, into everything when I die. I asked to see behind the curtain. I cannot understand what is behind the curtain. I am an earthworm being shown the blue prints to a rocket ship. I am incapable of processing even the paper it is printed on. Who was that?… it was “God” All my fears are a plastic wrapper on my life. You wanted true fear? You didn’t know, you poor thing. There is primal fear. Creationary fear. One that spawned in the pond scum with you. It is violent, erratic, vivid, and originates from part of you so deep, you didn’t know it existed. From the creation of man. All of your silly human fears are nothing. Fear of what other people think, fear of not being enough. These are laughable. Dismissible. They are nothing. You create these out of nothing. Let them go. How much would life change if you acted in the face of each one?” – A journal excerpt the morning after dying and seeing god, while curled up in the fetal position on the floor of the jungle. I wanted to go deep. I didn’t understand how deep it can go.

We found a Crystal Skull in the Black Hole of Belize. It’s from a 1000 year old Mayan Sacrifice hidden deep in a cave. Creepy or Cool? Let me know in the comments 💀
10,000 cenotes in Yucatan… and I think we just found a portal to the underworld. Would you jump in? 👹 Exploring the lesser known side of Mexico with @tours_sukun
Became a sea lion for a day in Galapagos. Ate fish, swam in circles, barked at tourists. Would do again 🤙🏻🦭 On set in Ecuador for Uncharted Adventure season 2, my adventure travel TV show on @weatherchannel

Three things I learned the hard way. 🐉
What do people love to watch? It’s Passion. People love watching people love things. The dancer on the street, in the circle with a smile, throwing thier body around to the music. The DJ on stage, pumping their fist, jumping and dancing with the crowd. The person on the screen, vividly speaking about insects, or rocks, or the planets in the sky. Even if it’s seaweed. Even if it’s the dirt between your toes. If they smile, we smile. If they can’t get enough of it, neither can we. As a travel host on TV and YouTube, I follow my passion. Because if people see passion, they can’t help but become passionate too. About nature. About fighting fears. About understanding the world. I always seek people who have passion. The geologist who can’t get enough of volcanoes. How the magma erupts from the top, how the landscape was created. The farmer who milks his goats, making cheese with his grandfathers recipe with meticulous detail. Proud of his craft. Information given the wrong way is forgettable fodder. But said with passion, you can’t look away. You learn. This is my constant quest. Follow the things that light me up like fire, and find those who are already lit ablaze. Passion is the key ingredient in creating great content, and passion is the key ingredient to true happiness. We are creatures of Passion. On set a few weeks ago in Turkey for my Adventure Travel TV show Uncharted Adventure on @weatherchannel. Catch it Saturday nights at 9EST! Thanks to @jacksmithfilm for the photos

Finally Learning to fly 🐉 Some quick clips of jumps 3 and 4 of my sky diving course. It’s wiiiiild up there above the beach. If all goes well 2 or 3 more to go before I can jump solo. Wish me luck! 🤘🏻 Big love to @skydivemex here in Playa del Carmen, and my instructor @hugo_mcfly_othn
