    Why You Don’t Want To Miss The Colorful Melissani Cave In Greece

    November 21, 2016 / 3 Comments

    Melissani Cave is a place you absolutely don’t want to miss on your trip to Greece. Also known as Melissani Lake, it’s on the island of Kefalonia. And after seeing a picture of it on Pinterest, I knew I just had to go. Melissani Cave is closest to Sami town and Agia Efimia, where I stayed. I’ve never seen water so many shades of blue in a cave. And, the light that filters in the opening of the cave creates water so clear that it sparkles. Board a boat and enjoy seeing the two chambers of this underground lake. Part of the lake has the sun streaming in, and the…

    October 27, 2016 / 3 Comments

    The hardest part of traveling for me is finding reliable Wi-Fi.

    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…

    NINETEEN-A Stylish Brighton Guesthouse In England

    June 5, 2016 / No Comments

    I thought it was the best decision ever to stay in Brighton rather than make the trek to London for a recent flight leaving from Gatwick Airport. It was an even better decision to stay at NINETEEN,  a 7 bedroom luxury B&B in the heart of Brighton. I was greeted by the very hospitable Mark and Arif, who made me feel right at home as soon as I walked into the charming Victorian townhouse. The Superior King Room At NINETEEN Brighton Guesthouse The first thing I noticed about the Superior King room was all of the light pouring in. I love rooms that get lots of light. It gave the room…

    5 Reasons I Was Delighted By The Blue Lagoon

    May 12, 2016 / No Comments

    Before going to Iceland, I heard lots of reasons why I should and shouldn’t visit the Blue Lagoon. It’s been on my bucket list for a long time, so I didn’t listen to the naysayers. I knew it was a place I had to visit. I’m so glad I did. 5 Reasons Why The Blue Lagoon Delighted Me 1. The Scenery Was As Otherwordly As It Looked In The Pictures Many times I’ve arrived at destinations that were on my bucket list, only to find them disappointing or not at all like I was expecting. I went to the Blue Lagoon in the afternoon, and I didn’t find it very crowded…

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.
