Introduction to Lost Trails Adventures
Hi, I’m Jacob Riley. I founded Lost Trails Adventures with the goal of sharing my adventures around the world and showcasing my creative work. My travels reveal the true essence of the world. I discover new places that I had no idea about and sometimes I visit locations that are not known to tourists. The experience of traveling has taught me discipline, responsibility and humanity. They give me inspiration and energy for creativity. While traveling, I have the opportunity to observe, connect and hear the sounds of wildlife. As an adventurer, I spend almost all my time outdoors, even when I sleep in my tent, I feel the life around me.
Lost Trails Adventures opens doors to amazing and undiscovered places around the world, inspiring and attracting all adventure lovers.
With a serious quest to uncover the beauty and inspiration in the world, Lost Trails Adventures offers unique opportunities to discover new horizons.

My view
I see the world as a place of surprise and discovery, inspiring others to join my mission to discover the unexplored places and true treasures of the planet.
My story as a traveler
Traveling is a part of my life. I have loved traveling since I was a child. When I’m on the road I feel at home – the world is my home. In 2012, I started my first big trip around Europe, and the following year (2013) I covered an even greater distance through many historical places in Europe. 2014 was my first Northern Adventure on the Scandinavian Peninsula, where after 49 days of cycling I reached the North Cape – the northernmost cape in Europe that can be reached by car. 2016, my first joint trip and the first transcontinental trip both on the European continent and in Africa. Year after year, I rediscovered the world around me, and together with photography I could capture fond memories of each trip and then present them at a photo exhibition.
My story as a photographer
Sealing the innermost moment is part of my work. I capture with my lens what makes my heart jump, what captivates my soul. Photography has been a part of my life since 2000, when I first took a tape camera. Later I had a digital “soap dish”, and from 2015 to 2018 a digital camera of a higher class. In 2019 I got a digital professional SLR camera – Canon 1300D. After traveling to Scandinavia in 2019, I started plans to return to analog photography. With great enthusiasm I bought full equipment for an amateur photo lab, as well as several cameras for 35 mm and 120 mm tapes. The first few tapes I showed were of poor quality, but the exposure of each pose was correct!
Photography shows us the world in a unique and attractive way. As a landscape photographer, I have always looked for unique places to photograph.
