The Bearded Vagabond
Welcome to The Bearded Vagabond Channel — where travel, local history, and good old-fashioned adventure come together. I’m Rex: explorer, storyteller, and living proof that an unexpected surgery in Rio can inspire a healthier, more adventurous life.
These days, I spend my time wandering scenic trails and visiting places most travelers overlook — often guided by odd finds from Atlas Obscura and similar hidden gem guides — and I rarely go alone. Artemis, my hiking cat named after the Greek goddess of the moon and the hunt, comes along for nearly every step.
Here you’ll find travel vlogs, day hikes, curious bits of history, and lots of real moments with Artemis out on the trail. Expect longer videos, Shorts, and behind-the-scenes glimpses as we explore new places together.
If you enjoy honest travel stories, beautiful trails, and a cat with a mind of her own, hit subscribe and join us. New videos every week — and you can follow Artemis’s adventures at @ArtemisHikes too.
