    July 30, 2025 / No Comments

    With lower costs and fewer crowds of tourists, the off-peak season is the ideal time to jet off abroad. While you’re less likely to have guaranteed sunshine, temperatures still remain reasonably high, if not perfect. Should you be pondering where to travel during ‘shoulder season’, we’ve carefully curated some of our favourites for a September holiday, from city breaks to long-haul getaways. The Maldives Whenever you visit the Maldives, one thing is for certain: you’re going to experience luxury like never before.

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.
