    13 Reasons To Love Yelapa, Mexico

    April 3, 2018 / 3 Comments

    I have to admit, when I first arrived in Yelapa, Mexico, I wasn’t sure I liked it. I’ll be honest, for me, it doesn’t measure up to my favorite place in Mexico, Zipolite. In Zipolite, you can see both the sun rise and the sun set from the beach, but in Yelapa, at the time of year that I went, I could see neither. There were far too many expats, day trippers from Puerto Vallarta, and lackluster food experiences in Yelapa for my taste. But, then I realized there was a lot of beauty around me, and that to truly enjoy myself, I had to stop comparing it to places…

    Why You Don’t Want To Miss The Enchanting Kauai North Shore

    March 13, 2017 / No Comments

    Kauai is a small island and you might be tempted to book your hotel in a more central area. But I’d highly recommend staying in two different areas of the island on your visit. Why? You don’t want to miss the dramatic Kauai North Shore. Why Stay At The Kauai North Shore Sure, you could just drive to the North Shore and make a day trip of it. But, there’s something incredible about waking up and spending an early morning on the deserted beaches of the Kauai North Shore, not another person in sight. I stayed at the Hanalei Colony Resort, which was an incredible experience. And, I would definitely…

    Zipolite Beach: A Complete Travel Guide

    February 2, 2016 / 30 Comments

    The first time that I visited Zipolite beach on the Oaxaca coast of Mexico, it changed my life. I decided I would sell my house, quit my sales job, and move to Mexico, so that I could travel more. I now live in San Miguel de Allende, no longer own much of anything, and, yes, I travel more. This time when I went to Zipolite, I came to the conclusion that I have to move somewhere where there is a beach. I realized I belong in the ocean. So, after my upcoming travels in May and June, I will be deciding on the next place that I will move to. I am…

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.
