About Me

Clayton Collins

Born and raised in small town Northern California I was raised with an appreciation for life in the outdoors. Within the last five years I have gained quite an affection for traveling all over the North American continent and hope to add central and south America to that list in the future.

Travels so far include every state in the US (with the exception of Hawaii), Canada and Mexico multiple times and recently Costa Rica. So far traveling to the southwest portion of the lower 48 is still my favorite, namely Moab, Utah and surrounding areas.

Future plans include a snow camping trip into the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the spring and a huge road trip to visit friends in Panama at some point.

I am currently employed as a maritime engineer with Lindblad Expeditions on the National Geographic Sea Bird which spends summers in south east Alaska and the winters in southern Baja California.

In my free time I like to work on 4×4 vehicles, mostly Toyota 4×4’s but anything will do. I’ve built several vehicles over the years, from mild to fairly wild, but lately I’ve settled down in my intentions quite a bit.
