    How To Blog For Money

    January 27, 2014 / 5 Comments

    Many people would like to blog for money, but they don’t know where to start.  I love the freedom that blogging gives me to travel when I want, to work when I want, and to write about something that I’m passionate about.  Since starting my travel blog, I have had a lot of people ask me how they can start their own and make money from it. Here’s how I got started. When I began, I knew nothing about blogging, so I signed up for a course called Superstar Blogging. I learned so much from this course. There are lessons on creating content, advice on getting traffic from social media, and…

    The Best Meal In San Miguel de Allende

    January 13, 2014 / 15 Comments

    I have lived in San Miguel de Allende for four months now and have spent most of my time eating my way through town.  I thought I had tried it all until the morning I went to El Pato for the local dish of mixiotes. If you don’t know what mixiotes are, they are packets of spiced lamb or chicken steamed overnight in a broth in the ground in the leaves of the maguey plant or banana trees.  They are out of this world. I had never had mixiotes before going to El Pato, and now I declare this restaurant to serve the best meal in San Miguel de Allende.…

    How To Travel The World With Mindfulness

    January 6, 2014 / 18 Comments

    Peculiar travel suggestions are dancing lessons from God.-Kurt Vonnegut, Cat’s Cradle How many times have you come back from vacation only to feel like you need a vacation from your vacation?  So many tourists rush around trying to see all the sites at their destination that they completely miss what the place they have traveled to is really about.  One museum or temple starts to look like all the others, and they even start to forget where they are. I used to be this type of tourist, but I have learned from experience that it is much more enjoyable when I travel the world with mindfulness. I started to realize that…

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.
