Surfin’ with Stoners in San Blas, Nayarit

Surfin’ with Stoners in San Blas, Nayarit

by on March 10, 2011 in Beach, Mexico Travel

On every trip I always search for a surf destination. And when I received the call to come to Mexico, I spent my first long weekend escape finding surf. I discovered Puerto Escondido in Oaxaca. But, after many more months in Mexico, the only place I paddled out past the break to surf the swells […]

Surf’s Up in the Land of Smiles – Thailand

Surf’s Up in the Land of Smiles – Thailand

by on January 20, 2011 in Beach, Destination

On any journey, I always search for a place to surf. As I mentioned in last week’s Beach Thursday post, when I hear “beach,” I think ‘surf’ or ‘ocean.’  And when traveling to Asia, I knew about the beaches, but I didn’t know about the surf outside of Indonesia. I researched and discovered a beach […]

Sunset Sunday – Santa Teresa-Mal Pais, Costa Rica

Sunset Sunday – Santa Teresa-Mal Pais, Costa Rica

by on November 28, 2010 in Sunset Sunday

Often I review some of my old photos and journals when reminded of an adventure. And this Thanksgiving weekend, thankful for all my travels, I decided to look back to the adventure that changed the course of my future. An adventure where I actually spent a Thanksgiving searching for a slice of Turkey to go with my beans and rice. This weekend I looked back to the first leg of my travel sabbatical ….

A Mexican Pipeline Birthday

A Mexican Pipeline Birthday

by on September 11, 2010 in Destination, Mexico Travel

I take my birthday off every year. That did not change this year and was no different during the days when I called Mexico City my home. That year, I decided my September surf session would not be at the Jersey Shore or Fire Island, but in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca. “Puerto,” as it is charmingly […]

Sunset Sunday – Puerto Escondido

Sunset Sunday – Puerto Escondido

by on June 13, 2010 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday

Simply known as Puerto. The sleepy fishing village in Oaxaca, Mexico also claims home to the Mexican Pipeline. A perfect pacific Mexican escape. I enjoyeda long weekend on the coastal beach town of “Puerto” when I called Mexico City my home.  And although I prefer the Mazatlan native “el Pacifico,” I can hardly disagree that the […]

A Baja Sur Surf Spot

A Baja Sur Surf Spot

by on February 12, 2010 in Beach, Destination, Mexico Travel

I woke to the cool Baja breeze coupled with the distant sounds of Pacific surf. Poured a fresh cup of java that the amiable staff delivered to my room along with a fresh fruit plate that included my favorite – papaya,  graced my comfortable robe and stepped out on the terrace.  The ocean view refreshed. […]

Sunset Sunday…it begins in Phuket,Thailand

Sunset Sunday…it begins in Phuket,Thailand

by on January 22, 2010 in Sunset Sunday

The Sunset. That word alone makes us smile. We are warmed by a memory; we recall a time, a place, a moment. What is Sunset Sunday? The daily descent delights differently, but is universally positive. The sunset remains one of the most celebrated moments of the day. For me, it surprises, seduces, and slows.  And I […]

Becoming ‘Pura Vida’ en Costa Rica

Becoming ‘Pura Vida’ en Costa Rica

by on January 15, 2010 in Destination, Travel Contest

Click. I hung up the phone with Delta. Thirty-five thousand sky miles, all earned as a management consultant exchanged for a round trip ticket to San Jose, Costa Rica. This time – no assignment; my travel was personal and with purpose. Turning back was no longer an option. The travel sabbatical I talked about for […]
