The Rocky Safari is an adventure travel blog where readers learn how to explore, travel, and design their dream lifestyle. In other words, I write a lot about solo travel, making money online, and being a digital nomad.

My goal is to help people craft their dream lifestyle. For some, that may mean just working remotely. For others, it may mean having a totally location-independent lifestyle free to travel as you please and venture to entirely new places on a whim.

This world is full of surprises and when we open ourselves up to experience them, we embark on journeys we never imagined we’d take.

In the Swahili language, safari means journey!

I hope you’ve learned a thing or two while reading my posts, laughed with me, and been enjoying your time here! Partnerships are the backbone of any successful venture and I take them seriously. I seek to partner with select brands to feature specific destinations, products, and attractions. Ideally, I am seeking destinations and products that have the potential to spark curiosity and exude fun.

Readers refer to me as a bird whisperer and an animal lover (for reasons you can determine from the photos above). I try to showcase animals on my blog whenever I get the chance because they’re another great passion of mine; right alongside travel blogging!

If you’re new to this blog, think of it as a safari or a zoo. This website is a collection of unique experiences for people to share, learn from, and enjoy. Amazing animals, exemplary places, and stellar products.

So who am I, anyway?

Hi there, I’m Rocky Trifari!

I’m the solo traveler, bird whisperer, backpacker, digital nomad, and peculiar INFJ who designed this blog back in 2013.

My goal is to eventually visit every country on Earth. I still have a long way to go before I’m finished, but I’m focused on enjoying the process.

About Me

What Is The Rocky Safari About?

The Rocky Safari teaches people to approach unfamiliar people, places, and things in life with a sense of child-like curiosity. I want my readers to understand what long-term travel as a lifestyle is all about.

I don’t claim to be perfect at traveling; I’m most certainly not. Instagram has plenty of those kinds of picture-perfect travel bloggers. I take a reality-based approach to travel and go places I never thought I’d go with a whole lot less planning than I ever dreamed I’d be comfortable accepting from myself.

Much like a bird attempting to fly for the first time, sometimes you need to just take the leap and trust in the process.

Mistakes happen and I’ve learned that that’s fine. We’re all here in this life to learn, fumble, get back up, and try again. The goal is to learn and get better. I’m doing my best to live my life responsibly, freely, sustainably, and happily. I want to help you do the same.

Travel doesn’t have to be expensive and you certainly don’t need a full-time job in order to be able to do it. The digital nomad lifestyle is achievable to anyone who seeks it if you’re willing to work hard upfront to put in the time and energy required to create a system that can generate streams of massive, passive income.

Whether you want to learn how to travel, how to blog, or how to make money working online, you’ve come to the right place. At The Rocky Safari, you can learn all of that and more.

Oh, and if you like birds too, as I most certainly do, we’ll get along just fine. If not, well, that’s okay too. (I might try to change your mind.)

My goal is to inspire people to explore the world and to embrace long-term travel as a lifestyle by showing readers how to overcome their fears, earn money online, and travel longer on less.

Partnership FAQs


Potentially, yes! In order for me to accept any type of offer of this kind, I have to feel very confident that the proposition is a good fit for my blog’s audience. If your idea is fun and enticing, I think my readers would love it! I greatly prefer to test or sample whenever possible before I offer any type of recommendation to my audience. I always disclose these types of deals to readers. You can send me a detailed proposal with your ideas and we can take things from there.

Email me directly at [email protected] with your ideas for the proposal.

Please email me a proposal that explains your request in detail so we can discuss a collaboration budget. My current rate sheet will be attached to my reply.


The Rocky Safari only works with brands and partners whose values align extremely closely and make sense to partner with. Links upon request typically take the form of a sponsored blog post so please read about my policy on them below.

All decisions are made on a case-by-case basis, but the answer to this is most likely no… if getting a link is your focus. I will consider the value of your offer from the standpoint of my audience. Please understand that this philosophy will guide all of my decisions. If you believe your idea has grounds to work on my website, please send me your proposal by email.

Please do not send me these types of emails. Your message will automatically file itself into a spam folder so please do not send such requests.

Why Work With The Rocky Safari?


I’ve been blogging almost my entire life. Sharing things here has become so normalized for me. I’ve grown increasingly comfortable being open, honest, and vulnerable with my readers over the years. They’ve seen me at my highest of highs and lowest of lows. Comments and emails suggest readers find my content funny, relatable, thoughtful, and personal. I believe they are able to really connect with me and that a lot of my posts resonate with readers.
The Rocky Safari began in 2013 when I was a senior in high school wanting to document my lifelong journey. I stuck with this blog all throughout college, while backpacking, while studying abroad, while traveling on vacations, and even throughout a global pandemic. The Rocky Safari isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. You can rest assured knowing your content will remain on the web for years to come. Monthly readers from The Rocky Safari are primarily based in the United States, but also exist in nearly every country on Earth.
Each month, readers subscribe to various services based off of recommendations made on my website. Promotional travel websites and blogging SaaS (Software as a Service) sales comprise some of my fastest-growing segments.
Every blog adopts some of the persona of its primary author. Mine is no exception. This website isn’t some sort of dry, long-winded, painfully-detailed travel encyclopedia. If you enjoy witty, spontaneous, and cleverly-crafted stories, you’ll probably enjoy the content I write.
Readers typically express an interest in trying things based on recommendations I have made. I have a highly-optimistic and positive personality so I tend to highlight the silver lining in everything. Don’t mistake that for skewing the truth. I always present a full picture. I simply choose to focus on the good things in life. I think readers find my perspective refreshing.
My blogging has evolved A LOT over the years. Between my formal background in a trade school for graphic design as well as knowledge from experience and PRACTICE, I know a ton about blogging now and I get better and better every day. My website has evolved a lot over the years. My writing style has become more developed. I am better at photography than I ever used to be. I believe my new posts really capture the essence of a destination through my form of storytelling.
I pride myself on being honest, transparent, and genuine with my readers. I always provide people with detailed explanations, honest feedback, and recommendations that I seriously believe in. It has to be something I would buy or use myself to earn a place on my website.
I used to struggle a bit with procrastination. I never was the type to miss deadlines, but I thought I thrived under stress and pressure. College taught me to work well under those conditions. Unfortunately, while traveling full-time, I learned how difficult it can be to just rely solely on “crunch time” to get everything done that needs to be finished. From not meeting personal deadlines on time, I began to search for better tools and techniques to help me achieve my goals. I have created a much better system to approach my work-life balance now. I no longer struggle to juggle and complete commitments in a timely manner. I follow through and deliver on all of my promises.

While my philosophy in life is all about having fun with things, you can always trust that my content creation will be addressed in the most professional manner possible.
