    Mexico

    February 8, 2013 / No Comments

    Oh, Mexico!!  The very word conjures up thoughts of gorgeous beaches, some of the best food I’ve ever tasted, beautiful passionate people, colorful markets, and a place, that everytime I go, I say that I will never leave.  Mexico is definitely a place that I’m not through exploring yet.  Another great thing about Mexico is that it is very affordable.  The price of hotels, food, and transportation is very reasonable.  The bus system in Mexico is extensive and makes it very easy to get from one place to another without spending a fortune.  You can also barter with the taxi drivers on the price before you agree to get in their…

    Thailand

    February 3, 2013 / No Comments

    Thailand is one of those exotic places where all the senses are aroused at once.  The scent of jasmine intoxicates the mind while delicious foods, sizzling on grills and woks, constantly beckon your mouth to taste them.  It can be full of activity, or you can find yourself on a remote beach with nothing but the sound of the ocean waves to lull you to sleep.  Thailand, just the word, causes me to smile and my stomach to growl.  Thailand is also very easy to get around in to see its many different parts.  There is a train that will take you from Bangkok up to the northern areas.  You…

    Costa Rica

    January 18, 2013 / 1 Comment

    I loved the diversity of Costa Rica when I traveled there.  In just two weeks I got to have so many different kinds of experiences and see so many different types of things.  I  got to relax on a deserted beach that was on the edge of a rainforest.  Truly there was nothing like lying on the beach and having scarlet macaws fly over and monkeys playing in the trees behind me.  Hiking through the rainforest was breathtaking with its huge blue butterflies flying by, poison dart frogs, bats, anteaters, sloths, and the unusual coati, which was an animal I didn’t even know existed before my Costa Rican trip.  The…

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.
