San Juan Nightlife Guide
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
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
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 […]
How Locals Cool Off in Guatemala
On the pacific coast of Guatemala there is a place as magical as any fairytale you’ve ever read. Where the water flows like wine and the smiles are contagious. The name is Xocomil, and the game is water slides. Guatemala’s largest (and I think only) water park is a grueling three and a half hour […]
The Juice is Worth the Squeeze in Semuc Champey
Every now and then certain situations arise that make me question this life of travel. In this particular instance, it was a hellish seven-hour drive in the back of a stuffy shuttle bus from Rio Dulce to Lanquin, Guatemala. As if roadside construction, massive potholes and tropical climate weren’t enough, my beautiful co-pilot came down […]
A Sweet Spot along Rio Dulce
From Antigua, we snagged a shuttle into Guatemala City where we jumped on a bus heading for Rio Dulce. Fortunately, we made the seven-hour trek up to the Caribbean Coast in a comfortable cross-country liner, rather than the typical chicken buses I’d been accustomed to while traveling within Guatemala. As soon as we stepped off […]

The big city of dreams never disappoints when it comes to entertaining guests and this past weekend was no exception.

Salar de Uyuni Tour
If you know me and anything about this site, then you know a 4-day tour would drive me absolutely insane if I didn’t mix things up a bit along the way. Luckily for me and my partner in crime Kiersten, the other 9 people in our Salar de Uyuni tour group were up for it. […]
The Great Adventure to Mars
Okay so maybe Mars wasn’t in the cards, but the next best thing was Salar de Uyuni in Southwest Bolivia. The incredible scenery, diverse landscapes and remote surroundings make you question what planet you’re really on! Last month, I decided to leave the world we knew behind to venture off on a 4-day, 4×4 tour in […]
