This time of year, deep into autumn but not quite winter, the world is physically changing; leaves on trees shift into endless hues of yellow, orange, and red, and the falling temperature brings a chill into the air. It’s a time of metamorphosis, when things from the past begin to shed away, making space for new things to come later on. As the world around us transforms, we can likewise evolve within—shedding old patterns, mindsets and possessions that now prove needless. Instead of clinging to old habits purely for the comfort of knowing what they will yield, we now have time to venture outside of the ordinary, exploring new opportunities and directions we may otherwise never know.

Five years ago, Patrick had the life many of us aspire to, holding a secure, upper-level position at a major consulting company. However, he did not find joy in this daily grind; rather, he felt stuck.

Seeing his coworkers so driven to climb the ladder, Patrick realized that he would never draw their same sense of fulfillment through corporate work. Rather, he found excitement in disconnecting from his routine and reconnecting to the natural world.

His desire to explore the unseen was fueled by his lifelong love of motorcycles, and he made a plan that involved a long term cross-country motorcycle trip that would take him out west. After finding a piece of land across the country that would afford him the freedom to pursue his passions, Patrick took the plunge. With the swoosh of an email, Peter resigned from his prestigious job and dove headfirst into the unknown.

“There’s a risk to changing your life, but there’s a bigger risk in not at least trying” he said.

After his resignation, Patrick fulfilled his plan to take a 6+ month motorcycle trip down to the Southernmost tip of South America and then moved from a city of 1.2 million to the town of Murphy, Idaho where the population is 97. Now, he owns a gun company and quenches his thirst for adventure by completing cross-country motorcycle rides, base jumping, and even paragliding straight into his own backyard. His appetite for exploration pushes him to break boundaries and set new goals, going off route to discover the joy in the unknown.

“I used to ask myself ‘how far can I go?’” He said. “And now I ask myself: ‘where can I get to?’”

***FOR BEST RESULTS, TURN SOUND ON***

We’ve all felt it…trapped by what people think we should do, by artificial connectivity, and by a societal definition of success. And, the need to cut the cord is becoming more prominent and more widespread. The more digitally connected we become, the thirstier most of us get for actual connection – to the land around us and to each other. And, possibly as a result of the digital age, the rebel demographic is becoming both less specific and less predictable.

This is the path that Off Route and Proceed to the Route explores – people breaking free and the benefits therein. We follow people who go left when everyone else would go right, travelers who follow an inner compass rather than a smartphone, and those who continuously turn down the road less travelled. We want to take an intimate look at how this perspective is brought to light, where it leads and when and how it’s valuable.

Proceed to the Route communicates the sense of urgency, conflict and fortitude that comes with the decision to part from convention, as well as our inherent need to cling to it. As a brand, The Off Route series was created to get to the underlying point of the unconventional life for each traveler we document. What does it change? Is this what it means to fully find yourself? Is it an escape? Stay tuned.
