Hey I’m Jordan Weaver and I’m an outdoor and automotive enthusiast, photographer, and content creator showcasing my passion for outdoor adventures and working on vehicles.
Outdoor adventures and working on vehicles is a huge passion of mine alongside sharing my adventures and products I trust with my photography, YouTube, and blog. Being outdoors is something I truly enjoy and love to encourage others to do the same. I am extremely passionate about overlanding, camping, fishing, hunting, and hiking and love to connect with brands and individuals that feel the same way.
My other major passion is photography which is why I chose to become a professional lifestyle photographer for outdoor and automotive brands. As much as I love this, I also don’t do it full time. My full time career is working as a marketing manager for a truck accessories brand which I love and helps me understand more about the industry and get to fulfill my creative passions of photography, editing, design, and more every day.
FAQs
What camera gear do you use?
For the longest time, I shot all of my photos on my Canon T7 Rebel with a Canon 50mm lens which was a great camera for learning and I even did a lot of professional shoots with. I finally upgraded to the camera I use now which is a Sony A7III with the Sigma 24-70mm lens.
I use this camera for all of my photos now and some video. A lot of the times for video, I still use my iPhone.
Why the name “Overlandaholic”?
At the time when starting on social media, I had just purchased my 2019 Toyota Tacoma and decided I was going to document the build journey. Since then, I have built a community of people interested in my other hobbies and I just showcase a little of it all. The name Overlandaholic was something I just thought of and although I share more than just “Overlanding” I feel like it still fits the stories I tell.
Where do you hit the trails?
I primarily go on the trails in my home state of Arkansas but would love to go out and explore more parts of the world. As for specific trails, I don’t usually give out that information for a couple of reasons.
The first reason is that it’s part of the journey. Getting into overlanding and exploring requires learning how to use your resources and just getting out there. Just giving away trail locations ruins this part of the experience.
The second part is that while a majority of people have good intentions, some just don’t. I believe everyone should respect the trails so that more people and future generations can enjoy them the same way we do. I believe in the Tread Lightly! principles and that you should leave places better than you found them.
