When I was invited to stay at the Villa del Palmar Beach Resort & Spa at the Islands of Loreto in Danzante Bay just south of Loreto for nearly a week with a team of writers, you can imagine — I JUMPED at the chance! I can’t wait to share the summary of this amazing experience and what…
In 1985, my father took my brother and I to live in the South of Spain. As a bilingual educator, he was able to take a sabbatical to perfect his language craft. He visited all the cities in the south and landed us in Nerja, a small beach town on the Costa del Sol, just over 35 miles east of…

Imagine an entire community of people where no alcohol is consumed and no animals are eaten…Just for a moment, can you even picture it?

And finally, the last post to fill in the final gaps of my adventures while traveling Israel earlier this month. It was quite a challenge to figure out the best way to summarize it all. When I first came home I was in the clouds over it all and it took well over a week for me to feel…
In early February I got this crazy message from a PR firm that represents the Israel Ministry of Tourism. They wanted to know if I was interested in Traveling through Israel and run and write about the Jerusalem Marathon. After about 3 minutes of thinking, I wrote right back and said yes! In short, the trip was like a…
Two weeks ago I set out on a little last minute adventure. The most meaningful part of that adventure was one singular Philippine Sunset and how it changed my perspective forever. This grand adventure wasn’t completely out of character for me, but it was a bit of a stretch as well. I wrote this post about Challenging yourself in…
If you’ve been to the Philippines, you’ve had a Mango Shake. It’s an awesome little local treat that you are greeted with at hotels. You can also pick up just about anywhere for as little as 70 PHP (about $1.6 USD) on the beach. I’m willing to bet if you ventured off the beaten path…
