Curiosity Fueled Adventures: Welcome to Curious Don!
Discover the science behind the world’s wonders, fuel your curiosity, and seek unforgettable experiences with me, Don.
Meet Don: A Traveler, Learner, and Explorer of the Natural World
Ever since I was a child, I’ve been fascinated by the workings of the universe—both large and small. I created Curious Don as a space to share the wonders I uncover through my travels, science, and exploration.
I’ve explored over 40 countries, dived deep into astrophotography, and embraced the thrill of fossil hunting, geology, and nature hiking. If there’s a story behind a destination, I’m driven to uncover it.
From tracking ancient fossils along England’s south coast to capturing the Milky Way from remote islands, my journeys are driven by a passion for understanding how the world works. These experiences are more than just travel—they’re a quest to unravel the science behind each location, and I invite you to join me in these discoveries.
For the Science Traveler
Curious minds never stop asking questions, and neither do I. Whether you’re peering through a telescope on Mauna Kea or exploring ancient fossils in remote landscapes, the world is full of scientific stories waiting to be told.
Join me as I uncover the science behind the destinations that capture your curiosity. From geology to astronomy, every journey offers a chance to learn.
Imagine standing in awe on Mauna Kea, where not only do you witness breathtaking sunsets, but you also delve into the astronomical research being conducted on the world’s largest telescopes. My travels take us beyond the typical tourist trail—into the heart of scientific discovery, from geology lessons embedded in the Grand Canyon’s layers to paleontological insights gained in remote fossil fields. Each destination is a classroom, offering new learning opportunities for curious minds.
For the Lifelong Learner
Learning is an adventure in itself. Every destination has a lesson to offer, whether it’s the formation of the Grand Canyon or the deep historical roots of Petra. Curious Don is here to guide you through these discoveries, offering insight, resources, and ideas to fuel your own learning.
Dive deeper into my explorations and discover how science and history come together to create remarkable stories.
Every trip is an opportunity to expand our understanding of the world. Whether you’re fascinated by the ancient trade routes that once passed through Petra or intrigued by the tectonic forces that created the Atlantic Ocean, my adventures reveal how science, history, and culture intertwine. Through each story, I hope to ignite your own curiosity and provide insights you can take away to fuel your own lifelong learning journey.

If you live for the thrill of new experiences, this is where you’ll find inspiration. Whether it’s hiking the Alps, kayaking through rugged coastlines, or flying drones over majestic landscapes, I’ll share stories and tips from my most thrilling adventures.
I believe that travel isn’t just about destinations but the moments that take your breath away. Let me show you the world through my lens.
For those who thrive on adrenaline and new experiences, Curious Don offers more than just travel tips—we share the pulse-pounding excitement of real-world adventure.

These aren’t just vacations—they’re immersive experiences that put you in direct contact with the raw, untamed beauty of nature.
Stories from My Adventures
One of the most unforgettable moments of my life was standing atop Mauna Kea’s summit at sunset. As the sun dipped beneath the horizon, casting a golden glow over the world, I felt a wave of awe wash over me. The sight of mountain peaks rising through a sea of clouds below, while stars began to twinkle in the deepening sky above, was nothing short of magical.
It’s moments like these—where science and nature converge—that I live for, and I’m thrilled to share them with you.
From diving in the crystal-clear water of the Philippines to witnessing the Aurora Borealis northern sky, each adventure offers its own set of unforgettable moments. Whether it’s photographing endangered wildlife in the Peru or summiting the active volcanoes of Indonesia, every destination has left its mark on me—and I hope it will inspire you to embark on your own journey of discovery.
