The Next Travel Adventure Awaits
When I created my five-year travel plan (five years ago), Brazil was supposed to be the final trip. I thought working at the World Cup and living in Rio de Janeiro would be the perfect climax to all my Latin America adventures. From there, I’d return to the States, start the next business, find a […]

A Mind Blowing Travel Moment
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 […]
A Puerto Rican Dance Party
Puerto Rico makes me want to dance. Don Omar’s “Danza Kuduro” makes me want to dance. So, I flew down to San Juan, Puerto Rico, pressed play on my walkman and let the good times roll! This is what happened. A huge thank you to the San Juan Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino for hosting […]
