Unforgettable Experiences
Experiences that I am grateful and blessed to have had the chance, opportunity and gumption to go.
At this writing, I am beginning the planning for an excursion-retreat-escape to Portugal in 2025 with the hopes and intention of keeping a good thing going….traveling and exploring. Planning to co-host a movement excursion with Anayra Calderon, the trip leader for both the Egypt and Morocco trips.
An African Proverb says,
“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
Want to come?

Costa Rica in the Rain
It rained quite a bit while we were there. As a result, it allowed me to slow down and appreciate the special peacefulness of being in a Blue Zone region of the world and the wonder of nature’s elements.
This was a Pilates Retreat with a gifted friend and teacher, Bonnie Grove, and move we did! A lot of it, in the rain, via TukTuk shuttles back and forth to a health and wellness facility that housed the Pilates Apparatus we had the pleasure of using throughout the week.
While it was wet, it was wonderful.
Guanacaste Blue Zone
Coffee, lunch, and a visit with Don Vidal, a 72 yo Guanacaste Province Farmer, and his daughter, Mariaolsa.
Purely magical afternoon of sharing the genuine simplicity of life and #BlueZone living.
They opened their home and shared all the produce of the farm with us with such love and generoisty.
True love for the earth and its bounty.
Guanacaste Province is home to the Nicoya Peninsula, recognized as one of the world’s five Blue Zones, where residents often live beyond 100 years.

After preparing and serving lunch for the group, Mariaolsa shot the header image of Bonnie and I giggling like two kids. 😉
