Welcome to The World Pursuit
We’re Cameron & Natasha
On this site, you’ll find our experiences, photography, and informative travel guides from traveling to over 95 countries and all seven continents! We have a passion for traveling, drinking delicious coffee from around the world, hiking, snowboarding, taking photos, and many other things.
We were nomadic for almost four years across six continents and 80 countries. It took us 500 blog posts, thousands of nights in different beds, a few horrible meals, and tons of amazing ones until we chose to base ourselves in the Rockies.
Now we travel for half the year and explore the mountains for the other half. You can see our other website, The Banff Blog, to see what we do at home. We think our lives are rad and want to help our readers live awesome lives, too!
On this website, you’ll find useful travel tips, itineraries, travel videos, and stories from our adventures around the globe. The World Pursuit is where you can find up-to-date information and travel inspiration. This website is about you and helping you in your travels around the world!
All the information we share is FREE!
If you’d like to support our work, we’ve always accepted coffees, or you can shop our recommendations to support our site directly!
Discover Helpful Info & Advice
We aim to bring the world to you and give you the resources to get out and fall in love with travel like we did. Unless otherwise noted, every blog post on this website is written by us and comes from our own experiences.
Writing guides on this website started as a hobby, but it’s now our full-time job! And it’s our job to help you plan and enjoy your trips no matter where they are! The World Pursuit is a product of thousands of hours behind a computer screen, photos taken, and neverending travel research. Unlike many large travel publications, we run this website and everything you see results from our adventures.
We aren’t just regurgitating someone else’s trip; we provide helpful advice based on our own experience. We travel to many destinations repeatedly, so we know we are providing the most accurate information. It’s safe to say we are experts when it comes to travel. Still, some places we are experts in and have spent many months traveling are Greece, Italy, South Africa, Iceland, Japan, and African Safaris (We have been on over 100 safaris!).

The blonde in all these photos? It’s me! I love yoga pants, movies, snowboarding, animals, travel…and sushi – okay, I love many things. My favorite countries to travel to are Greece and Japan, and I have always dreamed of learning to cook in Italy.
Now that we are a little better acquainted let me tell you where this whole travel thing started. I grew up in the center of the mitten state. If you don’t know what I am talking about, take your left hand and put it in front of your face. That is Michigan. I went on many family vacations as a child but never left the country. The wanderlust started when I studied abroad in Australia at 21 years old.
I didn’t know that this experience would change my life. Upon returning, I vowed to take a backpacking trip worldwide to celebrate after college. I worked waiting tables for the rest of my college days, and upon graduation, I had saved up nearly $20,000 to backpack the world. I left on a one-way ticket, met a guy (see below), we started this website, and the rest is history.

Hello. I’m Cameron, and I make up half of this blog. I’m a big music fan, and I don’t discriminate. I could write a list of my favorite artists, but it would likely get out of hand! I have what some would call an addictive personality. We both try to eat, and we’re about 90% vegan, but we can’t shake the sushi and cheese.
I love to cook, and Natasha does the dishes, so I’m always trying out new vegetarian or vegan recipes — I’m not sure who gets the better deal. I’m in this for the photos, food, beaches, mountains, adventure, and excellent hikes. We’ve also got a “healthy” addiction to adventure sports. My passions currently bounce around between mountaineering, snowboarding, mountain biking, and diving.
