Croatia, an Adriatic Beauty
You might think all this beauty, history, and Hollywood appeal might come with a hefty price tag, but arguably the best part about traveling to Croatia is how budget-friendly it is. As it was part of Yugoslavia until 1991, the country has stayed off the beaten path for many travelers, making it an often overlooked vacation option.
Koh Yao Yai, where the pace of life is slower
Koh Yao Noi and Koh Yao Yai are Thai islands in the Andaman Sea, halfway between Phuket and Krabi. Koh Yao Yai is the bigger of the two islands but it sees fewer tourists than Koh Yao Noi.
Phuket, Thailand - A beauty in the Andaman Sea
Phuket, the largest island in Thailand and one of Southeast Asia’s premier tourist destinations is located in the Andaman Sea in southern Thailand. Phuket is the most well-known of Thailand’s islands, covered with rainforests, mountains, spicy Thai cuisine, and blue waters rolling up to golden sand beaches lined with palm trees.
Costa Rica - Tortuguero and the Caribbean Southern Coast - Pura Vida!
The Caribbean side of Costa Rica is different from the rest of the country. With a blend of Afro-Caribbean roots, predominantly Jamaican and Latino, the area offers a unique taste of Costa Rica found nowhere else in the country.
Costa Rica, Osa Peninsula - Wild and full of wildlife. Pura Vida!
The Osa Peninsula is one of Costa Rica’s best destinations for an authentic nature & wildlife experience. One of the most untouched areas of Costa Rica is the Osa Peninsula, in the SW part of the country, bordering the Pacific Ocean to the west and Golfo Dulce to the East.
Costa Rica - The Northern Zone - Volcanoes, Lakes, Mountains, and a Cloud Forest! Pura Vida!
In Northern Costa Rica you’ll find a vast countryside with miles of plantations, cattle pastures, and cowboys. The Northern Zone is the agricultural center of Costa Rica, however, it’s a great place to visit for adventure seekers and nature lovers.
Costa Rica - Guanacaste. Beaches, surfing, relaxing. Pura Vida!
Back in the day, the northwest corner of Costa Rica was a part of Nicaragua. Now, the Guanacaste area of Costa Rica has a slightly different personality than the rest of the country. Guanacaste is a tropical paradise with amazing beaches, beautiful mountain ranges, biodiverse parkland, wildlife, and a number of volcanoes.
Costa Rica - Central Pacific Coast - Rainforests, beaches, and wildlife! Pura Vida!
The Central Pacific coast is a beautiful area with cloud-covered mountains, rainforests, palm tree-lined beaches, and incredible places to explore. The area is generally lush and green with jaw-dropping views and plenty of wildlife in the forests. Pura Vida!
Costa Rica - Pura Vida!
Pura Vida! You’ll hear Pura Vida a lot in Costa Rica – as a greeting, as a thank you and in other ways. Roughly translated, it means Pure Life.
Maui, The Valley Isle
There is so much that we love about Maui. Humpback whale season (January through March), sunrise at Haleakala, bike riding down from Haleakala to Paia, great restaurants (Mama’s Fish House, Paia Fish Market, MonkeyPod Kitchen & Duke’s), fun shopping, quaint little towns, great sights under the water (Mala Pier, Molokini crater, Lanai cathedrals.), the road to Hana, breweries, distilleries and so much more.
Grand Canyon of the Pacific
Waimea Canyon, also known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, is almost 10 miles long and 3,000 feet deep. This is part of Waimea Canyon State Park, which is right next to Koke’e State Park. The elevation in these parks is from 3,200 – 4,400 feet. There are lots of trails in these two state parks, scenic lookouts, and the red dirt waterfall.
Kauai, The Garden Isle
Kauai is like a big circle, with one road running almost around the entire island. The north/northwest part of the island, the beautiful Na Pali Coast, can’t be traveled by road. In the middle of the island is Mount Wai’ale’ale, one of the wettest spots on earth, with about 450 inches of rainfall a year.
Oahu, The Gathering Place
With over 4.5 million visitors each year, Oahu is also the most visited of the Hawaiian islands and is primarily defined by the state capital of Honolulu, Pearl Harbor, and the world-famous Waikiki Beach. However, there is so much more to this island than just those areas. Yes, Honolulu is a big city and is crowded, but you should spend some time here. Views of Diamond Head! Waikiki Beach!!
Hawaii, The Big Island
The Big Island is the largest of the Hawaiian islands at 4,028 square miles, which is more than all the other Hawaiian islands combined. The island is 92 miles long and 76 miles wide and represents almost 63% of the state’s total landmass, However, it has only 13% of Hawaiʻi’s population.
Paradise is Hawaii
The Beautiful Island of Ambergris Caye
Ambergris Caye is the largest island in Belize and is known for its turquoise waters, water sports, snorkeling, and scuba diving. Off the Eastern shore is Belize’s barrier reef, which has created famous snorkeling and diving sites, such as the Hol Chan Marine Reserve and Mexico Rocks. Both of these, plus many other dive sites, have an abundance of sea life.
Going Slow on Caye Caulker
A lazy laid back island, where everyone is happy and things “go slow.” Most of the activity is along the street, Playa Asuncion, filled with lodging, bars & restaurants, shops, street vendors, and stunning views of the water. At the end of this road is an area called The Split, which is a point where the North part of the island is split from the South part of the island. The legend is that it was created by Hurricane Hattie in 1961.
