Meet nomad Jack and his 2018 Subaru Outback

He was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York and has lived between New York and California for the majority of his life. He is currently living out his lifelong dream of exploring the country. Jack was an architectural consultant. He designed photographic laboratories and then sold them. He loves photography, exploring new places, and meeting new people. He spent 20 years married to the love of his life and has three beautiful children, Angela 39, Benjamin 37 and Maggie 32, all of whom still live in California. The most difficult period in his life was when his marriage ended and he became estranged from his children. He takes full responsibility for the loss of those relationships. He said, “They should’ve been my main priority and unfortunately, at times, they ended up not being. I miss them every day. Even though we are disconnected right now, I am so incredibly proud of them. I’m proud of who they are, what they’ve become, and what they’ve done with their lives.” As a 21 year old, Jack found that his “happy place” was being on the road. In August of last year, he began this road trip. It started in San Francisco. He made his way up to Victoria Canada and then back to the United States. He crossed the country through the northern states. He said the upper peninsula of Michigan was one of the most beautiful places on his trip so far and also where reality began to set in for him. While in New York, he is visiting his 80-year-old mother. The beginning of next week, he will start heading back to California. When asked what he wanted to tell the world he said, “I’d love to quote Rodney King, “Why can’t we all just get along?” Be who you are and let other people be who they. Don’t be so judgmental of others. Just be nice to each other.” Thank you so much for visiting and safe travels back to the east coast
