Welcome! 

If you are new to This Way To Paradise, let me give you a tour. I mainly write about beaches and islands, as those are my favorite spots to travel to, but I also write about the hidden Paradises of the world that aren’t always near a beach or island.

I also tend to write a lot about my own thoughts when I travel because travel has changed me in many ways I never thought it would. I want to share the things I’m learning with hopes to inspire and encourage you.
