    Skip the Hotel, Skip the Villa: The French Summer Luxury Everyone Overlooks

    July 7, 2026 / No Comments

    The first light of day on a still lake. A château, French for castle, is reflected in the water, whilst a solitary canoe slowly cuts through the water. Someone is up before the other visitors. It is a French summer morning that those who have booked an ordinary hotel room or rented a cheap villa will never experience. The Holiday You Didn’t Know You Were Missing A hotel imposes its own rhythm on you. Breakfast is served before you’ve even fully woken up. Your room could be any one of the forty rooms down the corridor, and the keycard stops working at 10 am sharp. Renting a villa, on the…

From Lake Tahoe to Santa Barbara to wine country, California’s seasonal home markets each come with their own climate, access, and logistics considerations. Set up that planning the property and planning the logistics of getting there are equally important parts of the process. Planning a Summer House in California for Seasonal Living California’s seasonal home markets vary dramatically by region; coastal towns like Santa Barbara and Carmel, mountain destinations like Lake Tahoe, and inland wine country like Napa each offer a different version of a…

    Trade the Beach for the Mountains: Why An Everest Base Camp Trek Is Worth the Journey

    July 2, 2026 / No Comments

    Why Every Beach Lover Should Trek to Everest Base Camp Once I have built most of my life around the sea. Warm water, slow mornings, sand that never asks anything of me. So when a friend suggested I trade the coast for the Himalayas and trek to Everest Base Camp, I laughed. Me? In a puffy jacket, at 17,000 feet, nowhere near an ocean? I went anyway. And it turned out to be the best escape I have ever taken. If you are a beach person, too, stay with me. Because I think the same thing that pulls you toward a quiet island is waiting for you in the mountains.…

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.
