    Planning the Ultimate Ski Holiday

    August 7, 2025 / No Comments

    Planning the ultimate ski holiday isn’t as simple as throwing gear in a bag and hitting the slopes. The truth is, pre-departure preparations matter. There’s always a debate over resorts and whether or not to buy new gear, and don’t even get us started on the difficulties of choosing a snow-sure destination! There are plenty of tricks to learn, from choosing Val Thorens ski holidays (for their high-altitude and reliable snow) to maximizing slope-time by avoiding peak crowds. Here’s how to rise to the occasion and the strategies for planning the ultimate ski getaway. Book the Best Time to Avoid Peak Crowds Nobody likes crowds. Extroverts might tolerate busyness, but eventually, when it…

    From Dolphins To Fish Tacos: The Best Things To Do In Loreto

    August 5, 2025 / 1 Comment

    I just returned from Loreto, Mexico, and while I can’t say it was my favorite place in Mexico, it still had its charms. Zipolite still gets my vote for being the most charming. A lot of people love Loreto because it’s not touristy, which I appreciated. But, it’s also a struggle to find things to do there, which is why there is a lack of crowds. Loreto is located on the coast of Baja California Sur, on the sea of Cortez, and is a sleepy fishing village. I didn’t find the beaches of Loreto to be that nice. You definitely had to get on a boat tour or drive about…

    The most exciting off-peak holiday destinations for 2025

    July 30, 2025 / No Comments

    With lower costs and fewer crowds of tourists, the off-peak season is the ideal time to jet off abroad. While you’re less likely to have guaranteed sunshine, temperatures still remain reasonably high, if not perfect. Should you be pondering where to travel during ‘shoulder season’, we’ve carefully curated some of our favourites for a September holiday, from city breaks to long-haul getaways. The Maldives Whenever you visit the Maldives, one thing is for certain: you’re going to experience luxury like never before. However, with fewer guests at the resorts, you’ve got the option of having personal butlers and overwater villas, to name but a few. While there are higher chances…

    Where to Stay and Play in Monte Carlo

    July 25, 2025 / No Comments

    Monte Carlo. Just the name conjures up an atmosphere of elegance that never goes out of style. Nestled between the Alps and the Mediterranean, this sleek slice of Monaco has long been the poster child for Riviera glamour. But, while it’s famous for superyachts and sports cars, you don’t need a high-roller budget to experience Monte Carlo and all her charm.  Yes, the streets are lined with five-star hotels and haute couture boutiques, but with a few savvy choices, you can stay in the heart of the action without having to break the bank. Curious? Well, keep reading for the lowdown on where to stay and what to do for…

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.
