A new Adventure Travel book by IMAX® Film Producer Mike Day

Readers will find his travel memoir entertaining, educational, and inspirational. He shares adventure travel stories from Iceland to Singapore and takes readers chasing tornadoes, total eclipses, and $30/night motel rooms.

About Mike

Mike Day spent his career in museums inspiring others to learn about and connect with their world. During his museum career in Minnesota he served as executive producer of 15 documentary films made in the world's largest film format—IMAX®—which led him to some of the world’s most interesting places, from the jungles of Costa Rica to tuna auctions in Tokyo. He has come to believe there is no better enrichment experience than travel that pushes us outside of our comfort zones to witness the unfamiliar, explore the unknown, and question our assumptions.

Mike Day kneels down on a jungle path to admire a chimpanzee. He is wearing hiking boots, cargo pants, a khaki shirt, and a blue travelers backpack.
