About
Avenue of the Giants
Hi,
My name is Noah.
I’m a self-taught adventure and landscape photographer living on the island of Oʻahu with my miniature dachshund, Eleanor!
Hiking and really my love for being outside has taken me to some of the most beautiful places here at home and around the world.
It has taught me skills beyond hitting a typical trail, which eventually led me to mountaineering, and mountaineering eventually led to an amazing two-week unguided expedition up the highest peak in North America with a really fun group of friends.
At home in Hawaiʻi, I’m always looking for great ways to give back, and I’ve been thrilled by the overwhelming support as I continue to tell others about our native landscapes with my ever-growing native Hawaiian plant post. Working on this post has continually been one of my favorite things about this blog.
I’m always looking for new projects and adventures, and if you would like to work together, please reach out! I’d love to hear from you!
Noah
About This Blog
I pride myself and my work to be my truest and honest opinions.
These are lived experiences, and my content is not, and never will be generated by AI, or another contributor.
Every image on this blog, with the exception of select images taken of me, came from my own camera.
In my experience, I’ve generally found that there are three types of travel writers. First, you have the big guys, with no personal experiences. These are your TripAdvisors and big news outlets that like to write about travel. Second, you have the person or couple with a mix of personal experiences and some recommendations that they didn’t have time for on their trip, so they usually link out to someone else. Finally, there are a few individuals, like myself, who write only about personal experiences and never resort to stock photography.
However, these days we’re entering into a whole new realm of AI-generated content, giving readers the least-authentic recommendations out there. I unfortunately think it’s a shame to see some individuals, including some who are my friends, turn to AI to write their articles.
Be that as it may, a good way to know if you’re reading content like this is to do a reverse image search on Google to see what other websites are using the same image. If you don’t see images of the people living what they’re writing about, it’s pretty safe to assume they were never there.
Overall, I hate to see individual bloggers who once wrote the best kind of content on the internet ruin what was pure for the sake of making more money. However, this is not and never will be me.
I live what I write.
No matter what age, your bucket list should never be complete. Throughout your life, it should change, adapt, and grow as you grow.
