About

Aloha, World! My name is Elisa Weiss, a native to the stunning, drizzly Pacific Northwest.

I am an ecologist, photographer, writer, artist, and surfer with a passion for culture, health and conservation. I have been a traveler of all trades in the making for the past 10 years: at any given time, I’ve been found teaching English in China, sailing in New Zealand, researching whales in Hawai’i, surfing in Panama, climbing in the High Sierra and doing humanitarian work in Vietnam.

I’ve made it my goal to always travel with mindfulness.

To learn and grow as I traverse this road of life; no matter how muddy.

This is a place to ignite the purpose of your travels; whether it be seeking surf and good climbing rock, planning a backcountry excursion, working for peace and conservation or just spreading Aloha.

Join me in learning to keep an open mind and open heart while feeding the adventurous soul. As complicated as life can be, I’m aiming to keep it simple: live to learn, learn to live.

Keep wandering this amazing world and take the road less graveled.

  8. Greetings from Australia Elisa,
    I fully understand your love of culture travelling and nature. I share all these as well as trying to manifest, “a love for my fellow neighbour” in the bigger scheme of things. Photography is the medium where I can experience all these things at once. Take great care, and all the best on your wonderful journey.
    God bless
