Does the thought of solo travel leave you feeling a bit anxious? What if, instead of focusing on feelings of loneliness and awkward conversations with strangers, you focused on the idea of the Solo Travel Splurge? In other words looking at all the ways, both big and small, that you can enjoy being on your own… Read more
A couple of weeks ago I sent an email to my mailing list called “5 Reasons to Visit Jordan”. (Side Note: What? You’re not on my mailing list yet? You can fix that problem by signing up here). It was a tantalizing list of things you will get to do and see if you join me… Read more
Everyone’s favorite question for a traveler is Where are you going next. That is also the most dreaded question when you don’t know the answer to that question. *Sigh!* If I had my way, I’d have at least one trip a month planned for the entire year, but this year I find myself looking at the… Read more
If you read this blog regularly, you no doubt have seen mention of my desire to “escape the cubicle”. Getting out of the office either through telecommuting or entrepreneurship (or discovering that trust fund that you KNOW your mother is hiding from you) figures regularly in my posts.

I started off 2016 with the expectation of visiting perhaps 4 foreign countries (which is my minimum travel goal every year). But when I was making those plans, I did not… Read more
Picture this: sleepless, red-eye flight followed by a 3 hour layover and then another 2 hour flight. Tired, in need of a shower, some food and most importantly in need of a beach. You land in Curaçao, your island paradise for the next week, and you can already feel the sand in your toes and a fruity, tropical drink… Read more
Is this post going to be a list of the lovely places I’ve traveled to recently? No,…not really. The question “Where Have I Been” is really more for this blog. Where has it been for the last nine months? Well, as I told fellow travel bloggers at a conference a few weeks ago, this little blog… Read more
For anyone still dealing with the affects of winter weather (grey snow, salt covered boots, rising heating bills) it may seem a bit strange for someone who already has warm weather and a beach to pick up and travel across the country for … more warm weather and more beaches.
