    7 Spiritual Ways To Experience Bali

    April 1, 2019 / 2 Comments

    Anyone who has read Eat Pray Love knows about the spiritual side of Bali. If you travel to Bali, you can’t help but feel the spirituality that is present there. Bali is a sacred place where people often find answers to questions that they have been asking and learn more about themselves. The people who live there are much more in touch with their spiritual side. They spend their days creating offerings, giving thanks and prayers, and by doing everything in a mindful way. Here are seven spiritual ways to experience Bali: 7 Spiritual Ways To Experience Bali 1.  The Healers Bali’s traditional healers are called balians and they will help heal…

    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…

    Oregon Waterfall Hikes: Mosier Creek Falls and Mosier Plateau

    November 12, 2018 / 2 Comments

    I hiked Mosier Creek Falls in the spring. There was nothing like climbing above the rim of Mosier Creek Gorge while wildflowers surrounded my every step. As far as Oregon waterfall hikes go, this is an easy one with stunning views the entire way. This is a great hike to do if you’re on the way out to Rowena Crest to see the wildflowers there. The hike to the two-tiered waterfall is only 1/2 mile, but I highly recommend continuing on the rest of the hike which takes you to Mosier Plateau. Mosier Creek Falls is about 100 feet tall, and in the summer, it’s even possible to swim in…

    Washington Hikes: The Columbia Gorge Labyrinth Has It All

    October 29, 2018 / 2 Comments

    The Labyrinth hike, in the Columbia Gorge, is one of my absolute favorite Washington hikes. On this hike, in the Catherine Creek area, you get it all. A few waterfalls, a stunning view of the Columbia Gorge and Mt. Hood, basalt outcroppings, and wildflowers in the Spring. Plus, the crowds are smaller than you will find at the neighboring Coyote Wall hike. The Labyrinth is the name for the area between Coyote Walland the Rowland Basin. You can even take your dog on this hike! Note that dogs must be on a leash from December 1st to June 30th. The only downsides to this hike is there is a lot of poison…

    Hawaii Hikes: The Makapu’u Lighthouse Trail

    October 16, 2018 / No Comments

    If you’re looking for an easy hike in Hawaii with gorgeous views, then make sure to hike the Makapu’u Lighthouse trail (Kaiwi Scenic Shoreline). While, you won’t find seclusion on this trail, it’s still a hike that’s definitely worth doing. The lighthouse isn’t really the main reason to do this hike. You will only see it from a distance. The reason to do the Makapu’u Lighthouse Trail is for the incredible vistas that you start seeing before you even reach the top. Also, the entire path is paved, so this makes it great for strollers or those who are in wheelchairs. The hike is only two miles round trip, so it’s…

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.
