    What should you do with your car when traveling long-term?

    January 13, 2026 / No Comments

    Long term travel involves plenty of big decisions, but people sometimes overlook home-based decisions in the excitement of planning for far-flung locales. One of the biggest home-based decisions long-term travelers may have to make involves their car. Leaving a vehicle unused for months creates costs, risks, and admin that many people underestimate. Making a decision before leaving can save you a lot of stress later on. Here are some options for your car when you’re traveling long-term: Is keeping the car worth it for a long trip Start by asking yourself whether keeping the car makes sense at all.

    December 11, 2025 / No Comments

    When Work Is Your Identity, What Happens When It Stops? I used to think healing was mostly physical. Get through the surgery, push through physical therapy, rest when needed, and eventually, things return to normal. That’s the script we’re given when we’re hurt — especially when the injury happens at work. But no one really prepares you for what comes after the bandages are off and the cast is gone, when your body is functioning again, but your sense of direction is completely shot.

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.
