Ever Stay Where the Locals Stay?
Many of us always eat with the locals for that authentic experience, but did you ever consider staying where the locals stay?
Sunset Sunday – The Black Sands of Bali
The Black Sand Sunset in Bali Bali. The destination seems to evoke the traveler’s image of a paradise. Yes, and with good reason. On the island where author Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love) found her love, there is certainly much to love; the landscapes, the culture, the jungle, the beaches, and yes the sunsets. Tanah […]
First Stop – Punta Laguna, Riviera Maya
The first scheduled stop on my day’s tour, Punta Laguna, did not excite me. I’ll admit it. My initial thought – skip it. I looked ahead. I thought, let’s head straight to the ancient ruins of Coba and spend more time understanding the mystique and magic of the Mayans.
Sunset Sunday – Santa Teresa-Mal Pais, Costa Rica
Often I review some of my old photos and journals when reminded of an adventure. And this Thanksgiving weekend, thankful for all my travels, I decided to look back to the adventure that changed the course of my future. An adventure where I actually spent a Thanksgiving searching for a slice of Turkey to go with my beans and rice. This weekend I looked back to the first leg of my travel sabbatical ….
Sunset Sunday – Walking the Brooklyn Bridge, New York

The Perfect Place to Daydream, Riviera Maya.
Often times, when in Mexico conversation commences about other Mexican destinations. Comparisons – yes, but also (and mostly) about how we all appreciate the country, the culture and the cuisine. I found myself talking about the Riviera Maya yesterday, and as much as I enjoy the adventure of exploring the cenotes, discovering my senses, eating […]
Sunset Sunday – Charleston, South Carolina
The charm of Charleston magnifies when you walk the city. Whether you follow its revolutionary roots, its Civil War Story, or just meander to enjoy its historic homes at some point you will find yourself down along the battery. And I recommend you find yourself there at sunset. On the waterfront, you walk among monuments […]
The Cliff Divers of Mazatlán
The van pulled over and we climbed out of the vehicle into a sea of friendly merchants. With tourists stopping by all day, the vendors set up and greet you with ‘buen precio and muy barato” (good prices and very cheap). Only after you navigate through the wood carvings, silver souvenirs, and the other assorted […]
