👋 Hey! It’s me Dani Jonas - and it’s time I re-introduce myself! I am stoked to not only become a Jonas but ‘rebrand’ here on IG as well!
In honor of this, I wanted to share some things about myself so you could get to know me better!
✨I’m 27 years old, born and raised in Indiana, and have lived in Ohio, California and Colorado.
✨ I currently live in Colorado with my husband Ryan and our 23 house plants🪴 & we really want a cat, so that is very likely in our near future 🐈
✨ I studied Communications and Film at Colorado State University with a goal of going into film and TV production.
✨After graduating I worked as a production assistant on Films in Ohio and then later in California once I made that move.
✨ My dream of creating movies shifted to creating content that is more aligned with my soul and my love of adventure and being outdoors 🌎
✨I’ve had some incredible opportunities in this job, like traveling to Mongolia, Brazil and Austria, & working with outdoor brands & tourism boards!
✨Ive loved the idea of travel since I was young and knew it would be a big part of my life.
✨One of my biggest challenges is believing in myself that I can create in a way that positively impacts peoples lives 🙏🏼
✨ My main goal with creating content and sharing my life online is to empower you to be Passionately Curious, and explore the beauty that is all around you. I love trying new things, and constantly advocate against the idea that you just have to stick to one thing!
✨I have a MESSED UP back - like I’m talking Scoliosis, mixed with bulged and herniated discs from being hit by a car and breaking my back. I struggle with chronic pain from this injury and am constantly working against it to live the active lifestyle that I dream of.💪🏼
✨I accept the fact that I’ll never be the best at one thing & I hope that sharing all my experiences & adventures with you help you to feel more confident to try something new 🤘🏼
✨I grew up doing gymnastics, archery, riding horses, and have my HS pole vaulting record.
Let me know your name, where you are from, and why you started following me below! 🫶🏻👋🏼
3000 miles, 12 states, 6 days 11hrs 🏁
This last week I had the honor of documenting @lithkocycling in their Race Across America! In just 6 days I drove from Oceanside, CA to Atlantic City, NJ chasing down these riders to capture this wild journey!
Team Lithko ended up placing:
1st 50+
1st USA Team
3rd overall
I am definitely tired and have a mountain of footage to go through but I would do it again 🫡

The Grand Canyon is WILD.
I am currently on a trip across the US from Oceanside,CA to Atlantic City,NJ documenting a team of cyclist competing in the Race Across America. As we made our way through Arizona I realized we were so close to the Grand Canyon so I took a little detour and man, it did not disappoint!
I am continually blown away by the beauty that the United States holds and this trip is reminding me just how stunning this country is!
Have you been to the Grand Canyon ?

Icelands south coast is absolutely stunning but drive a little further and you are in for a serious treat!
Iceland is known for its stopovers which doesn’t leave much time for the long drive to the east or north coasts but if you have the time it’s worth it to get yourself a van and explore everything you possibly can!

Ocala, Florida was full of surprises! The best surprise being this swimming hole that I came across while driving through Ocala National Forest.
I may have pegged Florida wrong, I’m feeling it’s time to plan a trip back to the south!
Whisky is Better with friends 🥃
And so is doing creative projects for fun. This was not sponsored or gifted. I have been thinking of this concept for a while and finally was able to bring it to life thanks to a couple friends and a bottle of @stranahans
Thank you Jessy, Phil & Ryan for being willing to hangout and help me shoot this.

Mongolia on Film: 2022
Mongolia has been calling my name so I am headed back this fall to hunt with the Eagles 🦅🤘🏼 if anyone is interested in the most incredible trip of your life contact @erikcooperadventurist to see what trip fits your interests best!
Dear Iceland,
Thank you for being a place so full of life and energy. You have reignited a dormant joy inside my heart, and have stoked the flames of a childlike energy that I had missed so much. The colors of your landscape are like nothing I have seen before and your abundance of waterfalls is wild to experience. Thank you for having me and I hope to see you again soon

Cozy Iceland Stays 🇮🇸
Staying at this beautiful farm was a dream come true. It was beautifully decorated and simple. After a long trip around the country it was such a relaxing time cooking a meal, showering and getting to watch the beautiful Icelandic Horses graze the pasture.
I can’t wait to go back and ride one day soon!

I went for adventure casual this trip 🤘🏼
I’m usually pretty committed to only wearing outdoor & adventure gear when I travel but I was really wanting to switch it up and be more comfortable this time. And it paid off.
