A Thriving Community on the Delaware Coast

The Southern Delaware Coast is a somewhat remote treasure that perhaps is more well-known to those adjacent to the Atlantic Corridor.

Sometimes, when I am waxing on about it, people have only the vaguest notion about it, yet it’s had so many gems to discover with each visit that it’s earned a place in my top domestic escapes.

The soothing sound of vibrant Beacon Falls at the historical Roundhouse terrace provide an ideal spot to unwind.

Vibrant, Historic Hudson Valley, New York

The train hurtled from Manhattan along the Hudson River, into the majestic vibrant scenery of the valley.

I watched the sailboats glide along the glistening water in the sunset when the wild sight of an overgrown island suddenly appeared with what looked like castle towers peeking out.

Coastal Maine Road Trip Adventure

Planning our road-trip along New England’s Coast from Boston towards Maine’s remote Lindenwood Inn on Mount Desert Island, a friend and I figured on a rest stop along the way for some deep stretches and a little respite. Road-trips are always a great way to get out of your head.

Exploring Florida’s Gold Coast

Waking up to the sound of cerulean waves thrashing onto the sunbathed sands of Florida’s Gold Coast outside our balcony above the palm trees perched by our  room was like therapy; a refuge from the winter months we tend to endure up north.

It's important to take time to glide and enjoy the majestic experience of the kayak Eco-tour.

Bahamas: Kayaking to the Extreme

Along the warm, white, sandy coast of Taino Beach on Grand Bahama Island, I stood in a grass hut watching the silhouettes of the competitors of the three-day-long Extreme Kayak Tournament who were prepping their vessels unperturbed by the increasing swells of the water before them.
