    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.

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…

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.
