Here’s what I know. The human spirit cannot be broken when it’s joined. 

Every person I’ve met experiences love, joy, and companionship. I cannot think of a single reason not to say “hi” to someone. Maybe that’s my secret power — how I earned my cape. We’re here on this planet together, and it’s so much better when it’s enjoyed with lively conversations, stories, and even tears. 

The organic experiences we have shape the best stories. And while I did my homework and read so many travel blogs, I decided to keep both feet outside the box. You will never read an article here that says, “5 things you MUST see in [name that place].” Because what I like and what you like might be completely different. I want you to give yourself the freedom to tap into what you like … or discover it for the first time. A simple smile will earn a hug (right, Grant?). And kind words can change a life. 

Here I will share the stories. The energy from the room, whether that’s a beach, a bar, or a brothel (just looking for another ‘b’ word ). At the end of the day (or trip), I want you to say, “Holy hell! That was awesome!”

Your life is your story to write. But let’s promise: We will not celebrate our 90th birthdays to realize we’ve lived the same day every day of our lives.
