    January 16, 2017 / 16 Comments

    “Instead of wondering when your next vacation is, maybe you should live a life you don’t need to escape from.”-Seth Godin The latest travel trend, especially among millennials, has been quitting your job to travel the world.

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.
