There is a famous song in the 90's by TLC which advised not to chase waterfalls, but to stick with the rivers and lakes that you are used to. But what if you could have it all? I believe that we should chase waterfalls, metaphorically and physically. If we don't chase after waterfalls to places and dreams we aspire for, then how would we ever reach paradise? I set out on a journey to Dominican Republic in June for the first time to a … [Read more...]
Nine Reasons to Visit the Azores Now
Name the group of nine European islands merely four-and-a-half hours from Boston Logan Airport. Stumped? You are not alone. Most of America has never heard of the Azores, couldn't locate them on a map, and wouldn't know what part of Europe claims them as countrymen. For the few who do know of the Atlantic eden 900 miles west of Portugal, this Zion is a cherished gift and a dichotomous burden. On one hand, the beauty and virginal nature of the … [Read more...]

Valencia: The BEST Paella
It’s hard for me not to be emotional when writing about my time in Valencia. I’m not sure exactly what is was about the city but it seems to have enchanted me. I was and still am, captivated by all it had to offer. I think naively I’d always seen Spain as a cheap holiday destination rather than somewhere to explore in more depth. I considered places further away more exciting and intriguing but to this day, Valencia remains one of my favourite … [Read more...]

Introverted Travelling
As I was wading the fetid swamp of high school adolescence, I didn’t have many friends. I was teased and, not being a large boy, pushed around occasionally. I was also fairly bright, though not necessarily the brightest, and I found fart jokes or pinging bras by the high school boys to be crass and mundane. The jokes I found funny either soared over the low brows of my peers, or possibly were completely devoid of humour. I prefer to believe the … [Read more...]

I've come up with a few ways we like to eat healthy on a road trip that also saves you time and money. Side note: Can I just tell you I love driving versus flying? I know you can bring your own food (within reason) to the airport. But I much prefer to have a cooler full of my own food or be able to … [Read more...]
Malibu Rocky Oaks Estate Vineyards
High on a hillside, a modern Tuscan-style villa claims expansive views all the way to the Pacific Ocean. Following the steep drive up from Kanan Rd. you see some small vineyards on either side. You can also arrive at the villa by air as it has its own heliport. What I saw of the inside of the villa was sparsely furnished, with spacious rooms. Most rooms were closed off due to the event underway when I was there. It was a gorgeous late winter … [Read more...]
Part Three: Sweet, Sweet Santiago de Cuba
In between our two ports of call, Havana and Santiago de Cuba, we had another day at sea. This is a great opportunity for passengers to relax and reinvigorate for the next port. We participated in an Introduction to Santiago de Cuba seminar. While I didn’t learn that much about the city, I realized there would be plenty of that the following day in Santiago de Cuba, and instead we simply got an overview of what to expect from the day ahead. … [Read more...]
