Welcome to Chris Istace Mindful Explorer
Chris left his full time job and traditional career of 2 decades to pursue his passion for the outdoors after a complete lifestyle change and mindset shift. “Mindful Explorer” primarily focuses on gear reviews, trip reports, adventure travel destinations as well as backcountry hiking and mountain biking articles. Articles on sustainable living and environmental awareness as told through Chris’s personal experiences can be found as well.
