Adam Popescu

Adam Popescu is a writer in Los Angeles and writes frequently about our changing planet. He loves Alaska. So much so that he once backpacked 60 miles in the Arctic: He was dropped off by a prop plane, didn’t see a single person—or a single tree—for a week, lost a shoe, lost 10 pounds, and didn’t post any photos on social media. It was the best trip of his life.
