INTO THE KINGDOM OF BHUTAN [VIDEO]

Tiger's Nest Monastery in Bhutan

Come with us on a magical journey, over the mountains and through the monasteries, to one of the most amazing places on this planet – The Kingdom of Bhutan! As I mentioned in the previous post, Clint from Triphackr.com and I spent a week exploring Bhutan with Yeoong Tours & Travels back in late April, and […]

The Perfect Road Trip in Florianopolis

Florianopolis Road Trip

With all the hype around Rio de Janeiro and its beautiful beaches, it’s easy to overlook the other hot spots around Brazil. I get it; many tourists want to see the most popular places within a particular country, and don’t have time for much else. But let me just tell you; if you go to […]

Amazon Rainforest Adventures

Amazon River Caiman Hunting

There are certain places on this planet that seem almost like fiction. Unreachable destinations that you expect to only see in story books and documentaries. The Amazon Rainforest in northern Brazil was one of those places for me. So when I had the opportunity to come to Brazil, I wasn’t going to miss the chance […]

Best Beaches in Florianopolis Brazil

Best Beaches in Florianopolis

Let me take you on a journey across an island with over 4o beaches, as I spend a long weekend tracking down the very best. Florianopolis (or Floripa as it’s known) is a large island and capital of the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina in Southern Brazil. It’s a very popular spot for Brazilian holidays and […]

A Paraty Boat Party

Paraty Boat Tours

The only reasonable follow up I could think of after a full day of playing in waterfalls was island hopping around Paraty. Just a short walk through the beautiful colonial village and you arrive at Paraty’s main harbor where colorful boats lineup for daily expeditions. Sailing the Bay Islands on a Budget-Friendly Boat Tour For less […]

Exploring Arraial do Cabo

Arraial do Cabo Harbor

The land of hidden gems. That’s officially the new slogan of Brazil. I haven’t told the secretary of tourism yet but he’ll understand. It seems like around every turn, in every region, there’s a “can’t miss” place that locals rave about. It’s a beach, park, waterfall, neighborhood, etc. that you just don’t hear from until you’re within range. […]

A Mind Blowing Travel Moment

Bioluminescent Bay of Vieques Island, Puerto Rico

The Journey Begins It was just after 11 p.m. when our inebriated guide maneuvered his beat-up Jeep Wrangler through the pitch-black dirt roads of Vieques Island.  From the back seat, I was tiptoeing that fine line between having faith and being responsible. Just a few hours prior, I was researching bio bay tours from a […]

San Juan Nightlife Guide

The Best Bars in San Juan Puerto Rico

The capital city of Puerto Rico is the gateway to all things adventurous on the island. From zip-lining through rainforests to surfing along endless coastlines, your daily activities are covered with just a rental car and a road map. The real question I have, however, is: “How are you going to spend your evenings while […]

Top Things To Do in Key Largo

Best Things to do in Key Largo

I write this post from a hammock overlooking the Florida Bay. There’s a boat coming into the Harbor that looks like it’s seen better days. I wonder what life would be like if I lived on a boat? I could get a cool flag and a sexy deckhand and a diving board. I’m sorry if […]

The Pool Parties of South Beach Miami

The Best Pool Parties in Miami

Along with pulled pork and Rihanna playlists, pool parties are one of my life’s great passions. I live for hot summer days with friends, cocktails, music and lots of bikinis (admiring not modeling). I have been fortunate enough to experience some of this country’s most incredible pool parties in Los Angeles, San Diego and Las […]
