Having a cat on my adventures has taken my outings to a whole other level.
-
JJ YOSH: Alright! Here we are, got my kitty on my back, doing a little adventure today.
-
Simon, take a look!
-
Cats love nature, especially Simon. Every time I walk near the door to go outside,
-
he races to the door, he looks up and he gives me this like, short little meow sound. That
-
makes me know that 'Yeah, I am ready to go out.'
-
I think Simon loves the outdoors. Here is a great example right here. I have
-
this, this crate of grass. And look, he decides he wants to lay on the grass. I have been
-
adventuring for the majority of my life. It started way back when I was a little kid,
-
just exploring the creeks in my backyard. But my real outdoor career began in college
-
when I started the excursion club back in 2003 and I realised in that moment that, 'Woah!
-
This is, this was my calling. This was the way that I could help the world and help the
-
earth.' When I graduated college, I thought I need to do this on a bigger scale. Media
-
was the key to be able to influence more people on a much larger scale especially those that
-
maybe are unable to travel as much and see the rest of the world.
-
Simon and I have gone on road trips all across the US, road trips that have been
-
as long as 20 consecutive hours.
-
We have gone to deserts, we have gone to majestic forests and we have even
-
camped in the snow. Simon, wake up!
-
We are hiking. Simon doesn't really want to walk today. He is making me
-
carry him and we are at the ocean right now.
-
I am a person that is all about getting to the top, getting to the destination.
-
Simon loves adventure and having Simon has helped me to embrace more of the journey and
-
really appreciate the moment and appreciate the beauty of Mother Nature.
-
The first time that he went into the water, I was so terrified because I didn't
-
know if he could swim or not and I am thinking to myself, 'I am going to have to jump in and
-
rescue him and how I am going to do this? Is he going to drown?' So it was really
-
terrifying but then when I saw that he immediately got to his instincts and started swimming.
-
That was amazing.
-
I would love to take Simon to a really tropical location and I would like to just
-
kind of take him snorkelling and just, you know, like have you ever seen a cat snorkel
-
before. So, because he loves fish, I just got a fish tank and he loves it. He loves
-
staring at the fish. So, I think taking him somewhere tropical where we can go in and
-
swim with the fish, he would love it.
-
I think Simon introduced me to the wild.
-
Simon, you enjoying the outdoors?
-
He is not much of a talker. Can you get up and say goodbye to everybody? Huh,
-
do you want to say goodbye?
