I have had the incredible fortune of traveling to some really amazing places with Mike such as the South China Seas, around South Africa and the Amazon on the coast of Brazil. Some of my most inspiring and best moments of my life have been tagging along with Mike on his adventures. Mike is also... read more ›

Behind-the-Scenes Look at My ALS #IceBucketChallenge Shoot [Complete with Gear, Details & Photos]

Hi Friends. Hopefully you saw my #IceBucketChallenge video and donated or participated in the #ALS internet meme (and were able to keep sight of the real target of raising awareness + $$ for ALS!) To be clear we were just goofing from a production standpoint, but since there was some cinematic playfulness and we used a bit of photo tech for my icy challenge, I got a bunch of questions / comments from readers asking... read more ›

Happy to Take on Some Ice Water for the ALS #IceBucketChallenge

I know, I know! I'm two weeks late for the #ALS #icebucketchallenge...I hate being late for an internet meme, but this is obviously way more/bigger/important than a meme... In this case, as you know by now, the world is raising awareness and money for ALS research. I've donated to ALS for not hitting my 24hr mark... and it's never too late for a good cause, so bring on the ice anyway, per the... read more ›

A “Top 10” Life Moment: Video of Dolphin “Super-Pod” Stampede

I've been lucky enough to travel to a lot of far-flung places and I've seen my share of amazing things. But this hour-long event captured in the video above was one of the most beautiful, humbling and amazing things I have ever seen in my entire life.

Mind Blowing Moment: Dolphin Encounter in South Africa

After some initial cheering and howling, no one said a word for the longest time. Silence and awe. Where there had been lively conversation just moments before - there was now only the sound of cameras clicking away and quiet sounds of appreciation. No one, including Mike Horn and the crew of the exploration vessel Pangaea, which has sailed close to 200,000 nautical miles in the last 4 years, had ever seen an... read more ›

The internet tells me that there have beeb 214 shark attacks and 42 fatalities in the past 100 years in the waters of South Africa - and that the area near Capetown... read more ›
