Episode 233: Nizuc Resort

Michelle and her husband Joseph recently celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary and decided to commemorate this special occasion with a getaway to someplace warm, where they could relax, renew, rejoice and recommit to this milestone in their marriage. They had  a very specific vision in mind for what they wanted and  although there were many appealing choices in the Caribbean the choice that seemed perfect to them  was Nizuc .

Opened in 2013, NIZUC Resort and Spa is situated on 29 acres of peaceful nature preserve on the Punta Nizuc coastline in Mexico. Michelle has graciously agreed to join us today to share, why they chose Nizuc,  what it  was like to spend time there and why they cant wait to return.

Have you been to the Riviera Maya, and if so, do you have a favorite resort?

Episode 232: Amazing Antarctica

A world of sea and ice awaits! Antarctica is a continent of superlatives that will leave your mind searching for words to describe it. Each day presents a new discovery, whether you’re cruising through ice-choked waterways, trekking through chattering penguin rookeries, or catching minkes and humpbacks breaching in the pristine waters. The few travelers who are fortunate enough to explore Antarctica’s vast expanses return home forever changed by an experience so awe-inspiring that it reaches to their very core. For many Antarctica is a bucket list trip and for others they weren’t even aware you could visit Antarctica and further more are not sure how or why you would or would want to. For both of those groups of people we wanted to shed a little light on why we think this would make an amazing next adventure. And how we can help you get there.

Is Antarctica on your list of must-visit destinations?

Episode 224: Bali

When we think of Bali, most think about Rodgers and Hammerstein’s musical South Pacific.  There is so much more to Bali than just a beautiful volcanic island paradise.  Bali is an island in the country of Indonesia, located east of Java in the Indian Ocean.  With a rich cultural history in the region, Bali offers a great deal for tourists and pilgrims alike.  83% of the island practices Hinduism and it is obvious everywhere you go.  Bali has become a haven for wellness seekers, scuba divers and foodies.   This week we explore the exotic and beautiful Bali.

Let us know if you want to go to Bali!
