Mikah Meyer Biography

Road Trip and National Parks expert Mikah Meyer has been named a “Social Media Warrior” by MTV and featured by NPR, The Guardian, Upworthy, and The Today Show among thousands of media outlets globally for his Travel beyond convention. His 3-year, world record road trip to all 419 U.S. National Park Service sites made him the first to experience all parks in a single journey, and also the person with the most recent, comprehensive knowledge of experiencing America's park system. The project garnered over $10 million in earned media coverage (AVE *Meltwater), bestowed Mikah superlatives ranging from a "Best #VanLife Instagram" by Uproxx to a "Sexy Travel Guru" by GayCities, and saw him make history as the First Openly Gay Man Featured in an Outdoors Recreation Campaign (with REI). His work was additionally recognized by NBC as one of their Stonewall #Pride50 "innovators and change-makers" alongside the likes of James Baldwin and Marsha P. Johnson. With an adventure ethos inspired by the loss of his road-trip-loving father to cancer, Mikah not only uses travel to encourage the world in groundbreaking ways, but to take audiences on journeys inspiring them to live "beyond convention."

Mikah's expertise ranges from media partnerships with the US federal government’s news agency to over 150 speaking engagements from New York to New Zealand. Sought after for projects that focus on bringing cultures together, he is equally comfortable hosting on-screen in Iran, penning the first LGBT-focused op-ed for Outside Magazine, or creating multimedia campaigns like his “Rainbow Nation” series of LGBT flag photos with America’s most iconic natural landmarks (Instagram, 69k followers). Combining these skills, Mikah is an inspirational speaker and comedic performer, encouraging others to follow their dreams before it's too late, be comfortable with their unique traits, and use those diverse skills to change the world.

Also an accomplished singer, Mikah has sung professionally with the Washington National Cathedral choirs, the Memphis Symphony and various international ensembles, and has created shows ranging from full-length improvised musicals to educational cabarets. He is currently the Artist-In-Residence at Minnesota's Hennepin Ave United Methodist.  

Following academic studies that named him a Rotary International Ambassadorial Scholar, he has continued that unifying ethos by devoting his life to helping people find common ground, whether in his hometown of Lincoln, Nebraska or on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial completing world records.
