    Trapped In Asia: How It Took Me 2 Credit Cards, 5 ATM Machines, 4 Travel Agents, And A Bike Ride Through Horse Dung To Buy A Plane Ticket

    March 10, 2013 / No Comments

    First of all, know that Singapore is a great place to open a liaison office if you’re thinking of opening a business there, so make sure to do some research before you do so. All I wanted to do was to buy a ticket from Bali to Ambon and then to the Kei Islands, the next stop on this amazing journey through Indonesia. Pretty simple, right? But it took me four days to do this. Because I am the type of person who likes to get the best possible deal, I checked on the internet first. But, I know the travel agents in Asia often offer better deals than the…

    Belize Barrier Reef, Ambergris Caye

    January 20, 2013 / 6 Comments

    If you are looking for a beach escape where you can relax, be transported to a place that tropical dreams are made of, and taste of foods that are absurdly delicious,  then Ambergris Caye is your place!  The pace is slow, the people are laid back and friendly,  and when you go, you will quickly feel like you don’t have a care in the world.  The people drive down the streets in golf carts instead of cars, ride their bikes, or just walk.  There is a central town area where there is a lot of activity going on, so there is always something to do. The snorkeling off of the Belize…

    The snorkeling off of the Belize Barrier Reef is the best snorkeling that I’ve ever done in my life. This may be because it is the longest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere and the second longest in the world.  I snorkeled with sharks, stingrays, turtles, and about a million fish!! I highly recommend taking one of the snorkeling trips that are offered. Palapa Bar and Grill-www.thiswaytoparadise.com One of my other favorite experiences was hanging out at the Palapa Bar and Grill.  It is a palapa set out over the water, and gives some amazing views.  You can sit in the  inner tubes, and the wait staff will bring you…

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.
