Hey gang! After 5 years of pouring my heart, soul, and countless hours into this project, I'm excited (and relieved) to share I've finished my book, "Jet Lag Junkie: Unfiltered Tales of a Compulsive Wanderer" available September 9th.

For nearly two decades, I've wandered through almost every corner of the globe—chasing adventure, seeking understanding, and confronting some of the deepest challenges within myself. Along the way, I've grappled with severe ADHD, battled imposter syndrome, navigated the complexities of loneliness and body image issues, and explored the ups and downs of finding a partner. But perhaps most importantly, I've been on a journey to discover what it really means to find "home" and I've searched in some unique places to find mine.

This book is a love letter to travel, a reflection on the highs and lows, the laughter and tears, and the incredible experiences that have shaped the last twenty years of adventure travel. But it’s not just a story about travel, it's a story about the struggles we all face and the courage it takes to keep going even when we don't know where we're going.

Book description:
Jeff, an overweight and insecure college student on the verge of dropping out, follows an uncontrollable urge ending up alone nearly 10,000 miles from home weeks after the 2004 Tsunami in South East Asia. Desperate to chase every experience possible, 'Jet Lag Junkie' is the vulnerable and raw journey behind one man's quest to find meaning, belonging, and love amidst an ever-changing backdrop of the most unique places on Earth.

Through deeply personal struggles with severe ADHD, imposter syndrome, anxiety, body image, and burnout, Jeff’s two-decade journey through nearly 100 countries reveals issues seldom discussed in a world that worships perfection and happiness on every screen. Brought to life through adventures from Mount Everest Base Camp in Nepal, being held at gunpoint in Malaysia, being impossibly lost in Bangladesh and detained by military police in Tajikistan, ‘Jet Lag Junkie’ inspires readers to experience life more deeply, and to get a bit uncomfortable while doing it.

Often humorous, always intimate, ‘Jet Lag Junkie’ reveals the compulsive search and painful struggles of growing up. Testing the limits of what Jeff is capable of, how much he is willing to sacrifice before stopping long enough to find someone to enjoy it all with?
