Thanks for stopping by OnBlueUnderCanvas. Whether you have a question about a story, want to share your own adventure, or just feel like saying hello — I'd love to hear from you.
You can also find me sharing photos and travel moments on Instagram, linked from the homepage.
Whether you've followed along through wedding celebrations on the river, family trips down the canyon, or quiet afternoons kayaking with friends, this space has always been about sharing the moments in between. Some of my favorite stories have come from the least planned days — a spontaneous paddleboard launch, a last-minute boat ride with cousins, or a long drive through the outback with the windows down. If something here has reminded you of your own adventure, or sparked a question about a place I've written about, I genuinely want to know.
Travel has a way of teaching you that the best memories rarely follow a script. From the ceremony on the water to the late-night conversations on the dock, from the crowded beaches of Isla Mujeres to the quiet current of a Colorado river, every trip has left something behind. I write these posts partly to remember, and partly because I believe stories are better when they're shared. If you have a favorite destination, a trip you're planning, or a memory that still makes you smile years later, I'd be glad to hear about it.
This site began as a simple way to document the ordinary and the extraordinary — training for a race, watching an eclipse from the desert, standing on a paddleboard at sunrise, or sitting with family in the backyard on a warm June evening. The photographs and words here are honest snapshots of a life lived between home and the wider world. If you've visited before, thank you for coming back. And if this is your first time, I hope something here makes you want to pack a bag, call a friend, and head somewhere new.
