    Why You Don’t Want To Miss The Enchanting Kauai North Shore

    March 13, 2017 / No Comments

    Kauai is a small island and you might be tempted to book your hotel in a more central area. But I’d highly recommend staying in two different areas of the island on your visit. Why? You don’t want to miss the dramatic Kauai North Shore. Why Stay At The Kauai North Shore Sure, you could just drive to the North Shore and make a day trip of it. But, there’s something incredible about waking up and spending an early morning on the deserted beaches of the Kauai North Shore, not another person in sight. I stayed at the Hanalei Colony Resort, which was an incredible experience. And, I would definitely…

    19 Photos That Will Have You Booking A Trip To The Na Pali Coast

    June 13, 2016 / 6 Comments

    The Na Pali Coast located in Kauai, Hawaii is one of the most beautiful spots in the world. The only way to see these beautiful cliffs are by boat, helicopter, or hiking them. I recently took the Niihau + Napali Super Tour with Holo Holo Charters, and I am in awe at the gorgeous scenery that I saw. Our day started with a rainbow and a safety briefing from the awesome crew who gave incredible service and took extreme care of our safety the entire day. From the minute the boat started sailing, we had spinner dolphins surround our boat which made the day special from the very beginning. The boat slowed down…

    The Fern Grotto Inn: Kauai Cottages To Make You Sigh

    June 12, 2016 / No Comments

    While visiting Kauai, along with staying on the North shore on the beach, I also stayed at the quaint Fern Grotto Inn. I absolutely adored it. First of all, I love cottages, and at Fern Grotto Inn, I had my own cottage, staying in Canal Cottage A. It was such a wonderful alternative to staying in a big resort or a hotel. I also am so glad I got to stay near the Fern Grotto and the town of Kapaa (on the East side of the island) for a few nights, as there was such beautiful nature in the area, and Kapaa is full of wonderful restaurants to dine at.…

    Where To Stay In Kauai: Hanalei Colony Resort

    June 10, 2016 / 1 Comment

    From the minute I walked into my condo at the Hanalei Colony Resort, I was in awe. The ocean waves crashed upon the shore just steps from my door. The tradewinds blew through my room reminding me that I was indeed in Hawaii. If you’re wondering where to stay in Kauai, and you are looking for a condo, you can’t do better than the Hanalei Colony Resort. Where To Stay In Kauai: Hanalei Colony Resort The tropical, Hawaiian-style furnishings are beautiful, the bed comfortable and inviting. There was also a second bedroom with a twin daybed and a second bathroom, so there is a lot of room in the 850-square foot condo.…

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.
