About Us: The Bourn Adventure Story

passport, camera and adventure
Bourn Adventure is a veteran owned and operated business based in Louisiana. We focus on travel, both international and domestic and share those adventures with you via our social media pages and website. We also sell some rad stickers, patches, and t-shirts, if you are into that kind of thing. ​​
Bourn Adventure started as Bakes FJ which was a small business built around our 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser. While owning the FJ, we traveled to all lower 48 states and parts of Canada on several different road trips (some more than 10,000 miles long), attended numerous off-road events, and met thousands of people along the way.

​Our Toyota FJ Cruiser was simply named "The FJ" and gained popularity in the off-road community due to our travels, pictures, and a few silly videos we put out. Sadly, the FJ was totaled in January of 2017 after I put her belly up on a snow-covered road in Oregon.
We were on our way from Washington state to Garden of the Gods park in Colorado when the accident happened. 

It was just Ashlie and I riding in the FJ at the time of the roll over. Luckily, neither one of us were injured and we eventually made it back home to Louisiana with the FJ.

Ashlie and I decided we did not want the roll over to be the end of our story or the end of Bakes FJ. In fact, we wanted to start a new chapter! Bourn Adventure is just that. Since the rebrand, we have expanded our travels, website, and are working on new and exciting places to visit. The name has changed, but the adventure remains the same!

One of the definitions for Bourn is, "a goal or destination." We figured that paired well with our adventurous spirit and desire to share experiences with others. If we can influence just one person to explore the world around them, we accomplished what we set out to do. If someone can not physically take an adventure, then we hope they can see the world through us.

To date, we have traveled about 110,000 miles just on road trips within the United States and many thousands of miles more internationally. Some of our adventures include seeing natural beauty at places like: Grand Canyon National Park, Arches National Park, and Acadia National Park. We have also visited man-made areas like Petra and Jerash (both in Jordan) that date back thousands of years.

Our goal is to continue to grow our collection of places visited across the world and deliver that content to you via our website, social media pages or emails. Although there is a world of information on the internet, it is not always easy to navigate. Our desire is to bring all of our travels, adventures, and experiences together into one, easy to find place, which could help identify locations for a future trip. Our hope is; by using information found on our website it makes your next adventure that much easier to plan, execute, and enjoy.

There is no better time than now to get out there and Capture the Journey as you Explore America and Live Your Freedom!

I just stumbled upon your site after looking up some FJ content and I have to know, are you related to the Bourn family from the NW Illinois area? My dad is Bill Bourn, his father was Eldon Bourn.

Can't wait to learn more about you and probably pick up a ton of swag!

Be well,
