Trying to fit in with the locals. A little behind the scenes of filming #ExpeditionX in Arkansas this past week! Horses one day, cottonmouths the next, 100° heat and air full of mosquitoes everyday 😰 📸 @cdlfilms

We got a taste of the springtime castle life in England while filming out there. What an incredible time to soak in the history and the (occasional) sunshine! My favorite photo is of Atlis next to, as she called it, an ‘astronaut’ just like her. #ExpeditionX @discovery

Fukushima. The earthquake-tsunami-nuclear meltdown tripled disaster that forever impacted the families and land in this region of Japan, on tonight’s season finale #ExpeditionX For our investigation, we were able to access areas that are so radioactive that families won’t be able to return to their homes for decades. There are piles of radioactive dirt all across the region to help the clean up. Abandoned schools nearly untouched in over a decade. Dangerously high radiation zones we had to drive quickly through with a police escort. So much tragedy and untold history— and as our witnesses told us, quite a bit of mystery in the skies as well. Catch it tonight on @discovery @streamonmax

Almost jungle time! Very excited to head back out into the field next month, exploring an area known for hummingbirds and butterflies. As part of my expedition prep, I love trying out new gear and @vivobarefoot hooked me up with their #JungleESC boot— a boot designed alongside experts in the Bornean Jungle— for me to first try out while in the forests of Europe. How did it hold up? It has some detailed features that are very rainforest friendly. The grip feels like you’re a bit of a ninja, I felt like I could walk, climb, run over anything and the sole is puncture resistant. It isn’t waterproof, a feature which may be surprising until you realize that a lot of my time in rainforest I’ll end up crossing (or wading through!) streams, so any boot you are wearing is either flooded (rubber wellies) or completely soaked (leather boots). The Jungle ESC allows you to do this and walk onto dry land as it drains and quick dries your feet. Much preferred to my usual of walking around with rubber boots full of water. #SurvivalEcologicalCollection #VivoBarefoot #ad
Belize 🇧🇿 Incredibly kind people who are passionate about their history and wildlife, and abundant biodiversity everywhere we looked. While filming #ExpeditionX down there I took every opportunity I had to put my camera into action, here’s just a hint of what’s to come. Wearing the @vollebak Graphene T Shirt, black edition 🌿
Welcome to our remote campsite while filming #ExpeditionX in Belize, these are two vipers we saw while doing a safety check for the walk to our one-bucket bathroom we set up for the whole crew. Overall we saw a deadly Fer-de-lance viper about every 25-50ft while hiking into this area, making it the snakiest rainforest I have seen in my life— and I’ve seen a lot of venomous snakes in rainforests! That being said, if you know me you know that means I genuinely loved this place. 10/10 would recommend! Just watch your step, and don’t touch *anything* @discovery @streamonmax
I’ve spent the last several days in the Appalachians of Kentucky— truly stunning forest here with an abundance of wildlife surrounding this old coal mining town my team is based out of for the week. Every morning I have been going for trail runs looking for wildlife, and especially hoping to track down a particular behavior in butterflies common in this area (yes, I have started running with my camera!) Just when I finished my run yesterday I saw a burst of yellow butterflies down the trail and I knew I found it. These are Easter Tiger Swallowtail butterflies exhibiting a behavior known as mud puddling, where male butterflies drink minerals from mud (or scat or dead animals) to create a mating nuptial gift for the female. In the tropics I’m used to seeing this on river edges with a variety of species, but in the US you don’t see it as often so I was thrilled to find it here, and in such vast numbers. Video of the encounter coming soon!

Eastern swallowtail butterflies, aloft and congregating around what is likely some bear pee on the trail. These butterflies drink the minerals from that urine, and with their bright zebra-like stripes and warning coloration there is safety in numbers so they tend to all feed in the same spot. Lucky for us when evolution results in a behavior bringing so many spectacular animals together for us to admire!
