That’s me, about to head up Mount Rinjani on the island of Lombok in Indonesia.

For eight years, I worked as a reporter, photographer and editor of the Revelstoke Review, a community newspaper and website in a beautiful mountain town in the heart of southern British Columbia. Over that time, I developed a thirst for exploring the mountains, whether it’s on skis, by bike or on my feet.

Here, you will find stories and photographs of my trips and adventures. Last fall, I left Revelstoke and flew to South America to ride my bicycle through the Andes. This website captures stories from that adventure and more. If you are interested in working with me as a freelancer, please e-mail axcooper@gmail.com.
