This year, I boarded my first scuba diving liveaboard in Komodo National Park, Indonesia. I’ve been diving for 15 years, but the idea of being stuck in tight quarters at sea with no escape never appealed to me—until the temptations of a manta ray citizen science project at one of the most spectacular dive sites […]
When I got the itch to leave my 2-month stay in Bali to explore somewhere with a few less juice bars and volcano-screaming spiritual gurus, my curiosity nudged me toward Taiwan. It’s sometimes overlooked by tourists in Asia, and I didn’t have a plan—no Pinterest board, must eat, or must do list. But after a […]

If it sounds familiar, you might be thinking of Iwo Jima—different islands, both in the Ogasawara Archipelago over a thousand […]
Cappadocia, Turkey may not be at the top of your travel bucket list, but it should be! It’s a magical place for solo travel (and group travel) and is unlike anywhere I’ve been before. Perhaps one of the most unique things about Cappadocia is that much of the town was carved out of the mountains, […]
Like with many popular travel destinations, the unique things to do in Tulum are rarely what you see on Instagram (aside from tacos and tequila- that’s all true).
