Being Circled By Sharks-My Adventures In Raja Ampat
Papua. Raja Ampat. Just the names of these places conjured up dreams of adventure, the unknown, the unexplored. When I found out that it was home to some of the best marine life and the best diving and snorkeling in the world I knew that I had to go. I am here now on this jungle beach, a saw-toothed palmetto plant that is taller than me towering over me, the waves gently lapping on the shore at my feet. Getting here was quite an experience, although not as hard as some of the other remote places that I’ve been in this world. I flew to Sorong where I took a…

Ambergris Caye
If you are looking for a beach escape where you can relax, be transported to a place that tropical dreams are made of, and enjoy food that is 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…

Los Colibris Casitas
Todos Santos, Mexico was one of those charming places that captivated me the minute I arrived. If you stay at Los Colibris Casitas, you will never want to leave. I stayed in the La Chucha Casista and was captivated by the stunning view, the rooftop terrace, but more than anything by the genuine hospitality of Bryan and Sergio.

They gave me all kinds of advice about where to eat and what to do while I was there.…

Ambergris Caye, 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…
