    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.

    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…

    Where To Travel In The USA Based On Your Personality Type

    February 21, 2019 / 7 Comments

    If you’ve never been to the USA, deciding exactly where in the United States to travel to is overwhelming. So, here are my recommendations on where to travel based on your personality type: 1.  The Surfer For surfers and beach lovers, you absolutely must go to Maui, Hawaii. Maui has some of the most gorgeous beaches in the world.  The water is warm year round, and the island is small enough that it’s easy to get to any beach in a short amount of time. Maui is also one of the top destinations for windsurfing and kite boarding. If you go from November-May, there’s a great chance you will also get to see…

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.
