    Castaway Resort, Koh Lipe Thailand-A True Tropical Hideway

    January 15, 2013 / 3 Comments

    There are some places that you journey to, and once you arrive there, you realize that your whole journey and even your whole life was leading you there.  This is the place you didn’t know you were looking for, the place that was calling your name, the reason why you journeyed down bumpy roads and across oceans to get to. When I arrived at Castaway Resort, I knew that I had found such a place.  I try to look for the out of the way places on this earth, and when I first read about Koh Lipe Island, I was intrigued.  When I started searching on the internet and saw…

    The snorkeling off of the Belize Barrier Reef is the best snorkeling that I’ve ever done in my life. This may be because it is the longest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere and the second longest in the world.  I snorkeled with sharks, stingrays, turtles, and about a million fish!! I highly recommend taking one of the snorkeling trips that are offered. Palapa Bar and Grill-www.thiswaytoparadise.com One of my other favorite experiences was hanging out at the Palapa Bar and Grill.  It is a palapa set out over the water, and gives some amazing views.  You can sit in the  inner tubes, and the wait staff will bring you…

About Me

I am always looking for the perfect escape, the perfect paradise, the kind of place that tosses your cares into the sea. Fortunately, I have discovered many! I created this site to show you where to go and how to get there. My goal is to show you that Paradise is only a plane ticket (or boat ride) away. I have inspired many others to travel and to create a better life. I am available for inspirational speaking, coaching, writing, travel planning, and photography.
