    The Best Things To Do In Savannah

    March 19, 2021 / 1 Comment

    I recently visited Savannah, Georgia, on a weekend trip from where I live in Charleston, SC, and was very impressed with the Southern charm of the city. While I think there are more things to do in Charleston, (and the food is better here) Savannah is still a beautiful city and I enjoyed my time there. Savannah is full of history and beautiful architecture, and it’s definitely worth a visit. Here are my suggestions for the best things to do in Savannah. The Best Things To Do In Savannah 1. Visit The Farmer’s Market In Forsyth Park Forsyth Park is a delight to walk through at any time, though I…

    Best Beaches in St Maarten/St Martin

    January 1, 2021 / 3 Comments

    There are over 37 beaches on the island of St Maarten/St Martin, and while I didn’t make it to all of them on my trip, the ones I did go to were stunning. The beaches in St Maarten/St Martin are some of the bluest and clearest you will ever see. I will say, while I did enjoy the beaches of St Martin, it wasn’t my favorite place to visit. The water may not be as blue, but I still prefer the untamed beach of Zipolite on the Oaxacan coast in Mexico where you can see the sun rise and set on the same beach. I also prefer waves that I…

    The Sequoia National Park & King’s Canyon Travel Guide

    August 20, 2019 / 2 Comments

    If you’re looking for a less crowded alternative to the Yosemite Valley, I highly suggest visiting Sequoia National Park and King’s Canyon. The towering sequoias are stunning, and King’s Canyon’s views and waterfalls will take your breath away. This Sequoia National Park & King’s Canyon Travel Guide will help you get the best out of your visit there, and highlights the scenery and hikes that you won’t want to miss. Best Time to Visit Sequoia National Park & King’s Canyon I recommend visiting from Spring-Fall as the road through King’s Canyon is closed in winter. For me, King’s Canyon was the highlight of the trip, so definitely include that in…

    Bali Bliss: Unique Things To Do In Ubud

    July 1, 2019 / No Comments

    Ubud, just an hour away from the airport in Bali, is most people’s favorite place to base themselves on a trip to Bali. However, it can be very easy to heed the call of “transport?” and get caught up in leaving Ubud every day. While, I highly recommend seeing the sights around Ubud, you’re missing out if you don’t take at least a few days to explore this cultural heart of Bali. Spending time in Ubud instead of doing a tour every day is also a great way to make sure you come back from your vacation rested and relaxed rather than feeling like you spent every day in a…

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.
