The Best Way to See the Fairy Chimneys
Certainly the highlight of an amazing two weeks in Turkey. Cappadocia is a magical place and we heard the best way to experience it is in a hot air balloon.
It starts around 4:30am, before the first call prayer, when the company picks you up from...

Japanese Snow Monkeys

Chillin' at Lago Puelo

Sunset at Balangan Beach

A Brief Moment of Sun on Mount Doom

The nearly 20 kilometer trail winds into high...

Private. Secluded. Perfect.
Diamond Beach (playa diamonde) in Cabrera, Dominican Republic is paradise on earth. You are able to walk out into the water 200ft before it even gets above your knees. A natural hot spring runs beneath the cove and warms the sand under your feet....
