Women’s Ocean Adventures, Travel, & Lifestyle
, Ocean-first destination guides for travelers who want more than a pretty beach—from snorkeling and diving to sailing, wildlife, food, and life ashore.
Many of these guides come from places I have reached by sailboat and explored slowly, giving me time to find the experiences that are genuinely worth planning around.
Explore the Caribbean, Mexico, Costa Rica, the Western Pacific including French Polynesia islands The Marquesas, Tuamotus, and The Socity Islands: Moorea Bora Bora Tahiti raiatea, and more. Here I’ll create sailing routes, review resorts and desitaintions, explore conservation experiences, and offer trip-planning advice.
I have so much more planned too! Tonga, Fiji, New Zealand, Australia, The Philippines, and Thailand are all coming soon, as we make our way slowly around the world.
