    Norwegian Air Review: How My Dreamliner Experience Turned Into A Nightmare

    August 11, 2014 / 22 Comments

    I hate having to write bad reviews, but my Norwegian Air experience was a complete nightmare, and I feel like I owe it to my readers to warn them about flying with Norwegian Air. What especially convinced me that this Norwegian Air review needed to be written was finding out about the many other complaints flooding in about Norwegian Air.  More than 200 complaints have been registered with the Transport Complaints Board alone. The board says they  have never seen this scope of complaints in a single case. I have read about everything from double-billed credit cards, a loss of air-conditioning on International flights, long delays, and false advertising. As if that’s not enough, there’s even…

    6 Things To Do In Sardinia That You Won’t Want To Miss

    July 28, 2014 / 10 Comments

    Sardinia and Sicily are two islands you absolutely shouldn’t miss when you travel to Italy. After seeing these areas, I wonder why so many people choose to go to the overcrowded Cinque Terre when these islands have so much more to offer. Sardinia is just glorious with a lot to see and do. Here are 6 things to do in Sardina that you won’t want to miss:  1.  Neptune’s Grotto Neptune’s Grotto was the most astonishing cave I’ve ever been to. Neptune’s Grotto is near the town of Alghero at the foot of the Capo Caccia cliffs. Whatever you do, don’t take the boat ride here. Part of the beauty was the stunning…

    The Credits: Meet Tinmyint From Yangon, Myanmar

    June 13, 2014 / 7 Comments

    “I love my wife so much. She is not my wife. She is my wife, and my life.  She cooks the curry, and I eat the curry.” Such simple words, but these were the words I most remember Tinmyint, a taxi driver in Yangon, Myanmar speaking to me. He mentioned his wife several times during our time together, and I couldn’t help but think of how few men praised their wives to perfect strangers. We had met under unusual circumstances, Tinmyint and me. I had suffered a long night of food poisoning. The conditions in most of Myanmar are less than sanitary. I had been warned before coming, and had…

Bring to me your frustration, your confusion, your joy and your pains, your certainties and your doubts, and let us sit together awhile. – Jeff Foster As I travel this beautiful world, it is not the beautiful sunrises, beaches, or the food that I that I remember the most.

    Morocco Culture: Experiencing The Moroccan Hammam

    May 2, 2014 / 2 Comments

    This piece is part of the momondo experiences series where I was challenged to visit a hammam in Marrakech. I had heard it could be a brutal experience, but the offer of a massage afterwards led me to accept he challenge. Yes, it was a bit brutal, but also invigorating. This was an experience that left my skin tingling for days.  Thank you momondo for organizing the experience! I lay on a hot marble slab, a slab that was so hot, I was arching my back to avoid as much skin contact as possible. I was scrubbed so violently by a gloved women, that I was pretty sure that all of…

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.
