We had the good fortune of connecting with Felix Gomes and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Felix, we’d love to hear what makes you happy.
Being outdoors, in any capacity, makes me happy. I feel a connection to Nature that I can get nowhere else. The solitude, the wild flora and fauna, the fresh air.
Nothing compares to this.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I am a nature photographer/videographer. I love that, through both of my YouTube channels, “Nomad Outdoors” and “The Roaming Gomes”, I have been able to share my craft throughout the world.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
For Tucson, I would definitely take them to the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum & Saguaro National Park. To eat, I could not resist “Tumerico” and any number of the other vegan/vegetarian restaurant choices that Tucson has in abundance!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My wife, Cindy Wall, RN. Cindy has adopted travel nursing and, through this, we have been able to see the country while living in our RV.
Because of her support, both financially and emotionally, I have been able to build my currently small but growing media firm.
