Son, Brother, Athlete, Artist, Photographer, Writer, Ayla’s Dad.

My name is Travis Wild. I'm lucky enough to share a van with my best friend, ayla. When I’m not building vans (and Ayla is being the perfect Shop doG) We travel all over the USA and Canada taking pictures and making stories.

The backstory

The most frustrating thing to me are molds we tend to force each other into. This is most probably because I’ve never felt comfortable in one but have found parts of me in many different molds. Baseball and Photography, Fraternity and Solo Camping, Lacrosse and Mentoring, Vanlife and Creature Comforts - my interests and experiences are eclectic and I think most people are this way. We tell our stories best like conversations over a campfire, not like ingredient labels on the back single serving packages of processed food. There’s a lot more flow to our selves and our stories.

We’re all shaped by so many things. Here are a few that have shaped me: sports, art, a split home, snowboarding, road trips, group homes, running, reading, homelessness, writing, cancer, Fortune 50 companies, the outdoor industry, consulting, world travel, biking, building, raising Ayla, and owning my own business. If I were to make a timeline it would be packed full of dashes of failure and branches of tangent adventures I’ve let myself go on. There would be exclamation points of fear and joy. Most importantly, there’s a dance between humanity, faith, potential, and me - all reaching out, hands to hold on to, shaking each other awake when needed, and sitting under the stars to wonder
