Waking up Wild was created to promote the wild and natural places from around the world. Even with the ever increasing modernization and domestication of our planet, there still exists places of rugged and timeless untamed wilderness. Our aim is to bring awareness to all the incredible adventures  that are available to those who wish to experience them and to bring a greater knowledge and understanding of all things wild that exist on this planet.  We hope our experiences, stories, and photographs inspire others to get outdoors and witness the natural world for themselves, creating unforgettable experiences in the process. To experience the natural wonders of this planet is to live how we were meant to live. So get out there and try Waking up Wild!
