Near the end of our San Jose del Cabo walking tour of the Gallery District, our host, gallery owner Patricia Mendoza, took us to Frank Arnold's gallery. Frank graciously invited us through his stunning front display room and into his studio at the back. Painted canvasses, stacked side by side like a cheese and [...]
When researching this trip, I typed: Swim with Whale Sharks Cabo into the search engine. A number of tour operators popped up, including Cabo Adventures, the one I would be using. I ignored them and clicked the videos tab. I wanted to see what whale sharks were like. Now, on the other side of [...]
We were supposed to be heading to cooking classes in San Jose del Cabo. The twisting road led past twenty-foot-high clumps of Mexican weeping bamboo and down onto the dusty bottom of a wide, dried up river bed. I began to wonder if Edgar, our excellent driver, had finally made a wrong turn. But [...]
I’m going to start my Le Blanc Spa Resort Los Cabos reviews at the end. It was my last morning in Los Cabos and I walked into the brilliant, sun-kissed lobby to check out. As usual, my gaze was drawn to the floor to ceiling window and the deep blue ocean view beyond. Suddenly, [...]
Our guide, a local farm hand on the on-site farm at Jazamango Todos Santos, didn’t speak English. Luckily, we had a translator. We wound our way along rows of herbs and vegetables, while our guide talked nearly non-stop. After a couple of minutes of Spanish, our translator would translate, usually in a single sentence. [...]
On my day trip to Todos Santos, I entered Kersten Kiehnle Mutzenbecher’s shop, just off the main tourist street, and fell into a cornucopia of oddities. Painted metal figures of animals and people, their skull faces smiling happily, stared from the walls. The flaked paint and rust on many showed their age. Every available [...]
[vc_row]While my Instagram feed may be filled with beautiful images of iconic destinations, one may think that I’m a full-time Travel Writer living the life of luxury. However, while I do travel about 16 weeks a year, I also work full time, PLUS, I'm often juggling many balls in the air trying to balance it [...]
To experience Canada’s Nunavut is to choose to explore the Arctic hands-on, up close, and personal. Not because it’s the trendy travel destination on everyone’s list but because you want to explore Canada’s North and get to connect with the people and the places that make Nunavut so special. While I had many expectations of [...]
Standing in the middle of the Arctic ice, wind rippling around me, and nothing but a small wood shack and a tiny fishing hole to call home, it dawns on me: I’m exploring one of the most remote regions on earth, and yet haven’t even left Canada. For centuries, this top-of-the-world destination has been a [...]
Just a few days earlier, I was standing in my kitchen making lunch for the kids… Yet here I was, with a 150hp metal beast racing me across jagged ice fields and around the frozen ice peaks of the Arctic Ocean. Looking out into the vast nothingness that laid out on the horizon, -30° air [...]
