About Us

Divertliving

About Divertliving – Hi, I am Jimmy, I left my career in the military to become a full-time traveler, documenting my memories along the way. Kicked off traveling in September 2017 with $4000 in my savings account and first started publishing my journey. Traveling and being able to work wherever I love ( as long as there are Wi-Fi and coffee)

Currently homeless, live the life out of luggage, travel non-stop, and grow our love along the way.

I am deeply into commercial production, traveling, doing what locals do, and challenging myself daily.

I started a company called Optimum Influence Media that allows me to focus on media production while I’m home from my trips.

Optimum Influence Media is a full-service media company based in Rochester, NY. We specialize in wedding videography and photography across the Finger Lakes and Western New York region. Your special day is just as important to us as it is to you; we capture it through the eyes of your guests, allowing you to soak in every breathtaking moment.

Everything I show you here on Divertliving is to not only show you how the world is such an interesting place to explore, but also inspire you to live the life you love, especially when you dream of traveling.

I hustle on a daily basis across photos – videos and written content, you can also check out more about Divertliving with my video content ( publish almost daily) on YouTube and join with over 200,000+ members there.

I continuously create informational content and provide traveling tips for FREE.

Following along my journey or join along, you can see how it is like traveling and living on the road.

About Divertliving

I’m Jimmy!
My life has changed since I joined the U.S Army and was stationed in South Korea. That was my first time leaving New York and getting a chance to see more of this world. That’s where my passion for traveling and exploring other cultures started to grow. You will often find me waking up at 5 am in the morning and catching the sunrise somewhere; taking photos and capturing the moment through the lens, or initiating a conversation with strangers (i love talking). I am described as a perfectionist and proactive. I have a passion for social media management, filming, cameras, and most tech-related stuff; anything that helps me to share my travel experiences. I focus on photography, running the blog, and handling most of my social media accounts, and editing videos.

The first of many posts from our trip to Costa Ric The first of many posts from our trip to Costa Rica. This was not only a much-needed trip away from the computer but a great opportunity to celebrate my 30th birthday! ⁣
⁣
This was the first trip I have ever been on that I didn’t plan a single thing. I didn’t look at any maps I didn’t care where we went, just wanted to spend some much-needed alone time with @jrherrm. ⁣
⁣
A couple of things we learned….⁣
⁣
 It rains a lot in the rainforest 😂 🌧⁣
⁣
When searching for wildlife, you need to look closely or pay for a guide that has a telescope. ⁣
⁣
Make sure you bring some @western_rise clothes because they are about the only durable and quick-dry clothes that were actually able to dry with the humidity in the rain forest: Discount Code DIVERTLIVING⁣
⁣
Bring an umbrella, Rain jackets won’t cut it.⁣
⁣
When booking a rental car, just expect your price to double from what your reservation says.⁣
⁣
Spend an entire day in the hot springs, but make sure your reservation is made no later than seven days in advance⁣
⁣
Hiking shoes and water shoes are a must⁣

We just arrived in Tel Aviv and I have to say this We just arrived in Tel Aviv and I have to say this is truly one of my favorite cities I have ever visited! Every city and place in the world has positives and negatives and all of these differ by each person. When you research a city or visit a city you have to be open to knowing you will not like everything about each place.⁣
⁣
And that brings me to this point. ⁣
⁣
I hate the Negativity, the constant bad-mouthing of people and places based on a select few. To be honest, if I listened to everything I saw or heard I wouldn't travel anywhere due to rumors or fear. ⁣
⁣
If I have learned anything over the years it’s this, just because you see something on the news or a post on the internet doesn’t mean you should jump to conclusions. Make your own decisions, learn first hand what the people are like what the food is like, and come to your own conclusions. ⁣
⁣
Be open, be accepting, be courteous and be careful what you believe.⁣
⁣
The people in Israel have been nothing but incredible. I really don’t think I had one bad interaction the entire trip and I can’t wait to go back and see more!⁣

Sometimes trusting complete strangers can lead to Sometimes trusting complete strangers can lead to the most rewarding adventures. ⁣
⁣
When it comes to travel and research you can spend hours researching all the best things to do and see but nothing will compare to the suggestions from locals. Almost every place I travel to I always make sure to ask all the locals we interact with what their recommendations are. ⁣
⁣
Today's recommendation led us two hours into the jungle to some pretty incredible caves and waterfalls. ⁣
⁣
I ended up leaving @steveyalo at the cave, this is the last I saw of him the whole trip. I think he may still be there doing Thai chi in the jungle⁣

Have you ever been to a ski resort and not gone sk Have you ever been to a ski resort and not gone skiing!? This is a pretty common thing to do in New York during the month of October. ⁣
⁣
Riding the chairlift up at @bristolmountain this past weekend was amazing, taking in the long ride and just enjoying the company and scenery. It was a great weekend for fall activities. ⁣
⁣
I am currently working on another Puerto Rico Vlog while planning another trip. This trip is to a new continent and three new countries I’ve never been to. Really really excited, any guesses where it will be?⁣

An island I need to see 1000 more times. Some plac An island I need to see 1000 more times. Some places you travel you just want to keep visiting and Puerto Rico is one of these places for me an interesting blend of cultures with an incredibly rich history.⁣
⁣
I have so many friends from the military that are from PR and they always talked about how diverse it is. I can say PR really does have the best of everything, beaches, waterfalls, food, rainforest. You name it, they have it. Bonus - It's only a $250 round trip ticket from NYC 😆⁣
⁣
Honestly, all these @cuts shirts are perfect for this hot island life. This stuff is super lightweight, wrinkle-free, and great for travel! Head over to the link in my Bio for 15% off!⁣
