I booked 3 weeks on the big island of Hawaii towards the end of the global pandemic of 2020-2021. For a ridiculously low price of a $248 RT flight, I didn’t even think twice about booking. My first week I rented a car and toured the island. From sun up to sun down, I exploredContinue reading “Hawaiian Zen”

I love being the underdog. No expectations. When you work at the flagship location, you have more opportunities and new technology to take advantage of. I knew when this worldwide competition was floated by our leadership team that we could do something special. We had a killer team that we were beginning to put togetherContinue reading “Let’s Move for a Better World”

5 years ago the humidity was scorching as we started our trek to the Lost City. Three strenuous days deep in the jungle to reach a tiered paradise. Revered as one of the best treks in the world, it is relatively unknown to most travelers. So I of course had to take on the challenge.Continue reading “Lost City trek Colombia 🇨🇴”

Have you ever been a band groupie? I didn’t think that was in me. BUT I admit in the early 2000s I was smitten with the local Orlando band Vonray. Did you ever feel music deep within your soul like the lyrics where talking just to you? I was totally enthralled with their vibe andContinue reading “Vonray Band Groupie”

It’s hard to choose but I believe this was my fav cruise of all time. And it happened very last minute. In the early years of Disney Cruise Line, cast members could book at severely discounted rates if you could travel within little notice because they would rather fill the empty rooms vs have themContinue reading “Panama Canal Cruisin’”

I’ve become a master at planning last minute getaways and this one was a classic. Denver is an easy direct flight option for an adventure junkie. Added bonus – I get to visit my college roommate’s beautiful family. For a quick weekend, I knew I needed to get back to Garden of the Gods nearContinue reading “Garden of the Gods CO”

As I begin my third (and final) career, I find myself digging deep to mentally prepare for this new beginning. How do I merge the awesome learnings from previous roles to make this experience all positive? How has my style and approach evolved? I’m a big believer in getting just a little better every dayContinue reading “Reinvent Yourself”

How will you remember years 2020 and 2021? My whirlwind was filled with self discovery and gaining back control of my life. I dug really deep and reclaimed my sense of purpose. I actually accomplished everything I had set out to do on my massive wanderlust list and exploded even beyond my wildest dreams. IContinue reading “My nomad year of dreams August 20, 2020 – June 30, 2021”

I am often asked how I had the means to resign from a great job, rent out out my house, buy a one way flight and just take off by myself to embrace the unknown. My answer is always more geared towards mustering up the courage to go for it vs. worrying about money. AdventureContinue reading “Mid-Life Gap Year”

That 3:55am wake up call was brutal…. Twenty five minutes later, we were jumping into the wicker basket of a massive hot air balloon with fire scorching the top of our heads. The pre-dawn twilight glow was just starting to show the silhouettes of a sea of other like minded travelers all anxious to liftContinue reading “Cappadocia hot air 🎈”
