A stay here is for the discerning traveler who highly values an intimate setting (4 acres total) combined with appealing natural surroundings, the utmost privacy and a property that maintains a beautiful silence. This clifftop location features merely eight villas and bungalows. The villas are more spacious then the bungalows; each villa comes with its own plunge pool. But all come with excellent views. Appropriately there is a secret beach at … [Read more...]
The Best Santa Cruz Beaches
California is well known for its awesome weather, beloved beaches, and monster waves. Originally known as the Grizzly Bear State but the bear population went extinct due to hunting and human activity, the state is now commonly known as the Golden State. The sun is what makes California so epic and especially the beaches of Santa Cruz. There is a stunning array of beaches in Santa Cruz, you would be hard pressed to visit them all in one day … [Read more...]
Bouncing from Island to Island in the Caribbean
I began my day in Anguilla, then hopped on a ferry to Sint Marteen and with a few hours to kill between flights I headed over to the nearby Maho Beach for some #planespotting. This is one of the more famous airports because this tiny sliver of sand is situated right next to the edge of the runway - framed on one end by aquamarine waters and landing planes on the other end. I arrived in the late morning - and the beach was fairly empty. I was … [Read more...]
Exploring the Skies above Eastern Thailand
After connecting online with a fellow travel blogger - Thor Winther, of Winther Worldwide, some months ago, I was pleasantly surprised when he told me he had purchased a flight from Copenhagen to Bangkok and was interested in meeting up. Timing worked out so that he was able to visit our village several hours east of Bangkok. The last time I touched our drone was on Koh Tachai Island in Southern Thailand - after takeoff on the silky white … [Read more...]
Maho Beach, Sint Maarten – October 2016
This tiny sliver of sand is located at one end of the runways at Princess Juliana Airport. Considered on it's own it would be another fine example of Caribbean turquoise waters framed by smooth sand. But based on it's unique location to this airport, it has become somewhat legendary in the circles of plane spotters. And the reason for this is one can stand directly on the beach and look up in awe at jets passing extremely close overhead (often … [Read more...]
Sand Dunes and Sunset Kiteboarding in Jericoacoara
Jericoacoara - Think sand dunes, warm water, strong winds, and epic kiteboarding sessions. Oh, and a cold Caipirinha while watching the sunset from the sand dunes after a hard day... What used to be a small fishing village has long become a mecca for wind water sports such as kiteboarding and windsurfing. Located 300 km west of Fortaleza, Jericoacoara, or Jeri as it is commonly known, is a great place to experience windy activities but also to … [Read more...]
Chasing Waterfalls in Samana
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...]
Tori James, Adventurer and Speaker
I briefly met Tori earlier this year at a travel blogging conference (Traverse) 16 in Cardiff, Wales where she gave the opening welcome speech. Her adventures are nothing short of amazing, reaching the summit of Mt. Everest at age 25, participating in the first ever all-female team in a 360 mile race to the Magnetic North Pole (successfully reaching the pole), and significant cycling, kayaking and other outdoor adventure feats. She is an … [Read more...]
A Grand Venue for Country Tunes
Even if you’re not a fan of the style, there’s something about live country music in the actual country that makes it vastly entertaining. I’m not into country music, but last summer, atop a nearly 10,000-foot mountain under a Colorado sky bluer than any I’d ever seen before, with snow-dotted southern Rocky Mountains on the horizon and nothing but fresh air and great tunes all around, I converted in a hurry. At least for that day. The … [Read more...]
My Guide to the Algarve

With its incredible red-cliffed coastline and beautiful, quaint little towns and villages, the Algarve has all the ingredients of the perfect relaxing holiday that you should be dying to go on. Where to stay Resorts are the accommodation of choice in the … [Read more...]
