Jon Rhodes

Jon Rhodes is an author, traveler, and lifelong adventurer who believes stories can inspire us to live with more curiosity, presence, and joy. His debut children’s book, Bee Present, was written for his niece Zoey and blends mindfulness and philosophy into a simple message for kids and adults alike: slow down, notice the little things, and find wonder in everyday life.

Outside of writing, Jon manages Totally Beaching NMB, his vacation rental property in Cherry Grove, North Myrtle Beach, where he welcomes guests from around the world to experience the beauty of the Carolina coast. A passionate hiker and world traveler, Jon is always seeking out new trails, mountains, and cultures—capturing inspiration along the way. He’s equally dedicated to fitness and functional strength, believing that a healthy body is key to living fully and adventurously at every age.

Whether through books, travel, or community, Jon’s goal is to share experiences that encourage others to be present, stay active, and embrace life as an ongoing journey.
