    The Top Portugal Beaches To Visit

    December 16, 2015 / 18 Comments

    When I booked my trip to Portugal, I knew that there was beautiful places to see in Portugal, delicious food to eat, and incredible charm in Lisbon, but I never imagined how glorious the Portugal beaches would be. I think the Portugal beaches are some of the best beaches in Europe. If you’d rather not plan every stop yourself, there are vacation packages to Portugal that combine the coastline with cities like Lisbon and Porto.  If you’re visiting with a group, consider hiring a private coach – BCS Bus for example, offers charter routes that make it easy to connect Portugal’s scattered coastline at your own pace. After visiting if you also wonder…

    Pashupatinath Temple: The One Thing You Must Do In Kathmandu

    September 28, 2015 / 4 Comments

    I had paid a taxi driver a flat fee to take me to the temples of Kathmandu, but he didn’t speak much English. So I knew nothing of what I was about to experience at the sacred Pashupatinath Temple. Smoke rose ominously from the funeral pyres next to the Bagmati river. I watched as a body was placed on one of the pyres to burn. I could feel death all around me, but not just feel it. Ashes touched my skin, the smell of decay mixed with burning spices entered my nose, and I will never forget the cries of those who mourned for the demise of those they loved. But, these weren’t just cries. This was…

    Going To Lake Atitlan Guatemala? You Need This Guide!

    July 13, 2015 / 9 Comments

    Lake Atitlan, Guatemala is considered to be one of the most beautiful lakes in the world. The lake fills the caldera of a volcano, and the volcanic activity has caused three more volcanoes in the caldera. Lake Atitlan is surrounded by several villages, the most popular for tourists to stay at being San Pedro La Laguna and San Marcos. Overall, I found the Lake Atitlan views to be beautiful, but I also found it quite costly to stay there. The cost of food at restaurants was expensive. And, I prefer a beach where I can lie in the sun and swim in the ocean. The lake is not recommended for swimming,…

    There will come a time when all the bad news of this world, all the sadness, and all the pain will become too much. The routine of everyday life will either overwhelm you or bore you or both. The unanswered emails, unreturned phone calls, dirty laundry, and things on the to-do list will pile up, so that it becomes unfathomable that you will ever get through them all. You may have forgotten who you are in the midst of it. You start to think that this is your life. The “doer” becomes your identity. The smallest things set you off, stress you out. You’ve forgotten how to be grateful. You don’t…

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.
