Lately I’ve been dealing with burnout both creatively and also as a full-time traveller. But all of that changed when I found myself in the landscape of my dreams ♡

Hey :) I’m Christian Schaffer, and I’ve lived on the road full-time since May 2018. This journey began in 2013 when I left the corporate world to build my career as an outdoor adventure & travel photographer. As a semi-minimalist, I eventually decided to donate/sell most of my belongings and move into my 4x4 Nissan Xterra. After 14 months of SUV living and falling madly in love with the open road - I bought a van and hired a team to build it out. Van life enables me to experience and document the beauty of our natural world on a whole new level, all while having my home and office nearby. My hope is that by sharing my own personal highs and lows along this (sometimes) wild journey, you might be inspired to hit the road or spend more time outdoors. Maybe one day I'll see you out on that open road 🚐
*My van is a 2019 Ram ProMaster 1500 High Roof, 136" WB with 37K miles*

Your photography is amazing, your experiences and real life every day feelings and emotions mirror thoughts that so many cannot even begin to convey. Just to know someone else gets you or you get us is pretty cool. And to top all that off, you're sharing parts of this earth others will probably never see. Thank you for being you, and all that you do for all of us. Cool too to see you met up with Mariah & Flynn recently too.

Yes, sunshine does (and would) make life easier and prioritising makes room for inspiration. Your personal open and expressive narrated videos with epic sceneries and vast landscapes, are now like sunlight here in the Nordics during our dark wintertimes. I always look forward to this immersive experience on a big screen, with great sound - the scenes are like artwork on my bigscreen. They always inspire me - so thank you. As I consider aesthetics always to be (also) about value judgment - both the creators and the recipients - your personal videos (storytelling) brings (that) living substance to what you create, as well as many insights far beyond your pictures.

You will find that out in nature. Best of luck and keep smiling young lady 😊

Beautiful landscape! When White Sands was still a national monument, instead of a national park, you could reserve a backcountry camp spot and stay a night. The majestic sunset followed by a full moon creates a unique experience. White Sands has to be one of the most photogenic places on the planet.

Your videographical storytelling is truly astounding and unique. KZfaq algorithm hasn't found anything similar to recommend. Video feels calming, fancy and even "sugar-coated", but the audio and commentary sparkles just enough realism over it. The viewer can fantasize about this lifestyle and freedom while still considering the benefits of a more grounded lifestyle. For me, it makes me want to explore and enjoy my local nature instead of dreaming of some far-away place somewhere, where things would be better. I'm in awe of this channel.

I will recommend one hike if you ever make it up that way , Lost Lake out of Red River ! There is probably a 14 foot wall of snow blocking the trail in several places now, but there are plenty of hikes out of Santa Fe ! The snow is beautiful . As so many have said , the WORLD STAGE has been difficult for a few years contributing to occasional burnout and mild depression I think for most of us ! As always , beyond beautiful photography !
