    Why You Don’t Want To Miss The Colorful Melissani Cave In Greece

    November 21, 2016 / 3 Comments

    Melissani Cave is a place you absolutely don’t want to miss on your trip to Greece. Also known as Melissani Lake, it’s on the island of Kefalonia. And after seeing a picture of it on Pinterest, I knew I just had to go. Melissani Cave is closest to Sami town and Agia Efimia, where I stayed. I’ve never seen water so many shades of blue in a cave. And, the light that filters in the opening of the cave creates water so clear that it sparkles. Board a boat and enjoy seeing the two chambers of this underground lake. Part of the lake has the sun streaming in, and the…

    October 27, 2016 / 3 Comments

    10 Reasons You Should Visit Zakynthos Instead Of Santorini

    September 13, 2016 / 5 Comments

      The first time I visited Greece, I did what just about every other tourist to Greece does. I went to Santorini. And Santorini was beautiful, but how I wish someone had told me about Zakynthos (also called Zante), one of the Ionian islands. There really is no place in the world like it. A lush green island with clear turquoise waters, sandy beaches, and towering limestone cliffs. Zakynthos really does have it all and caused me to love Greece all that much more. Here are my reasons to choose Zakynthos over Santorini. 10 Reasons You Should Visit Zakynthos Instead Of Santorini 1. The Greek Hospitality Prevails Here I have visited…

    Why Mallorca Stole My Heart

    August 31, 2016 / 2 Comments

    Mallorca is timeless. It’s romantic. Mallorca is Spain. Chilled glasses of white wine beckon you to sit in tiny villages doing nothing And after the wine there are the tapas which make your tongue feel more alive than it has in a long while Each day seems to linger So long that you notice the flowers Have time to pet a stranger’s dog And startle the sheep You will come to know what blue really is The coastline will make you feel like you are in a dream Everywhere you turn  You will feel like Mallorca loves you back There are views that just don’t stop once Mallorca stares into the window of your heart you just…

    19 Photos That Will Have You Booking A Trip To The Na Pali Coast

    June 13, 2016 / 6 Comments

    The Na Pali Coast located in Kauai, Hawaii is one of the most beautiful spots in the world. The only way to see these beautiful cliffs are by boat, helicopter, or hiking them. I recently took the Niihau + Napali Super Tour with Holo Holo Charters, and I am in awe at the gorgeous scenery that I saw. Our day started with a rainbow and a safety briefing from the awesome crew who gave incredible service and took extreme care of our safety the entire day. From the minute the boat started sailing, we had spinner dolphins surround our boat which made the day special from the very beginning. The boat slowed down…

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.
