About
My name is Cody Weatherly and I am the Grumpy Traveler
I'm not your typical travel photographer. My adventures span the globe, capturing stunning landscapes, vibrant cultures, and the unpredictable, deeply human moments that make every journey unique.
Through my lens, you'll see breathtaking beauty. Behind the scenes, you'll hear tales of wrong turns, spontaneous discoveries, and travel mishaps that leave you laughing. But my work goes deeper than photography—as a shaman and mindfulness coach, I help people reconnect with themselves and the world around them. Whether I'm guiding you through a sunset shoot, a breathwork session on a mountaintop, or a healing journey, I invite you to experience life with intention, curiosity, and joy.
Because the journey isn't just about where you go—it's about how fully you show up when you get there.

PHOTOGRAPHY & STORYTELLING
I capture the world's beauty and chaos—the stunning landscapes, vibrant cultures, and unexpected moments that make travel unforgettable. My photography tells stories of adventure, connection, and the magic found in both perfect sunsets and beautiful disasters.
Through The Grumpy Traveler podcast, I share the stories behind the images—the mishaps, revelations, and raw honesty of life on the road. And if a photo speaks to you, prints are available for purchase to bring that piece of the journey into your space.
Looking for travel photography, visual storytelling, or someone to document your adventure? Let's create something authentic together.
MINDFULNESS COACHING
I help people bring presence and reflection into every adventure—slowing down, staying grounded, and connecting with the deeper meaning behind each moment.
Through mindfulness practices, we'll explore how to show up fully in your life, whether you're on the road or at home.

This is a title.
I have found that photography and travel go hand in hand, and you don't have to be a master to enjoy it.
2nd Place (and Honestly Shocked)
This year, I entered the 2025 Platte River Photography Competition in Douglas, Wyoming, sponsored by The Enterprise.
Good news—I placed 2nd in the amateur landscape photography category!
After seeing all those incredible images on the walls, I didn't think I had a chance. My photo will be on display at the Wyoming Pioneer Memorial Museum for the next year, which is pretty surreal.
My friend Alyssa Meyers also entered the competition. While she didn't place, her work absolutely earned its spot on that wall—go check it out if you get the chance.
A huge thank you to Artizen Photo Printing for their help with the printing process, and to all of you who've been following along and believing in this work. It means more than you know.
