    Unforgettable Things To Do in Portland, Oregon

    April 1, 2025 / 2 Comments

    I moved back to Portland, Oregon after living in Charleston, SC and St Pete, FL the past four years. Moving back has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It’s not only one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever live, but there are so many things to do in Portland. The nature is everywhere with one of the largest urban forests in the United States, waterfalls and hiking paths just a short drive away, great places to kayak and spend time on the water. Yes, there is a rainy season, but Portland has incredible restaurants, coffee shops, bookstores, and theaters to distract you. If you’re looking for…

    Thinking of Slow Traveling the Caribbean? Don’t Make These Mistakes!

    March 31, 2025 / 2 Comments

    The Caribbean is on the bucket list of many, and why not?  There are world-class resorts, a wide selection of amazing white-sand beaches, and a consistent tropical climate. Plus, the subregion is home to around 7,000 distinct islands. No wonder, it’s an ideal destination for slow travel.  Simply put, slow travel involves unwinding and exploring a place as slowly as possible. According to The Good Trade, it lowers the carbon footprint of your trip while giving you a more mindful connection to the destination you’re visiting.  If you’re thinking about slow traveling the Caribbean, you’re in for a completely different experience. Instead of bouncing between all-inclusive resorts, you’ll have time…

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.
