    Why Mallorca Stole My Heart

    August 31, 2016 / 2 Comments

    Mallorca is timeless. It’s romantic. Mallorca is Spain. Chilled glasses of white wine beckon you to sit in tiny villages doing nothing And after the wine there are the tapas which make your tongue feel more alive than it has in a long while Each day seems to linger So long that you notice the flowers Have time to pet a stranger’s dog And startle the sheep You will come to know what blue really is The coastline will make you feel like you are in a dream Everywhere you turn  You will feel like Mallorca loves you back There are views that just don’t stop once Mallorca stares into the window of your heart you just…

    What It’s Like To Stay In A Travelopo Mallorca Villa

    May 13, 2016 / 4 Comments

    Travelopo  asked me to review one of their villas in Mallorca, an opportunity I couldn’t turn down. I’ve rented apartments while traveling but never an entire villa, and I have to say there were a lot of perks to having a villa for the week. The best part was that there were three bedrooms so I was able to invite a few friends to join me. We stayed in Villa Nico, a very traditional Spanish-style house. My Experience Staying In A Travelopo Mallorca Villa My favorite part was having our own pool. The setting outside was just gorgeous with towering hills, plenty of flowers and plants surrounding us, and it felt very…

    10 Reasons Why Ibiza Is The World’s Utopia (#4 Will Take Your Breath Away)

    April 29, 2014 / 63 Comments

    Pssstttt… I’m going to let you in on a secret. Ibiza is so much more than Amnesia, Space, and Pacha. (In case you’ve been under a rock, these are some of the most famous nightclubs in the world). In fact, these clubs are only open three months out of each year. After visiting Ibiza twice, I am convinced that Ibiza really is the world’s utopia. You don’t often find the mix of all that Ibiza has to offer in one place, but Ibiza has them all. Ibiza is such an amazing place, I would consider living there. If you would like to relocate to Ibiza, know that the island has a…

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.
