Vegan on the Go: Eating Vegan in Cabo San Lucas
One might think that eating vegan in Mexico is difficult and…that’s not completely inaccurate. Over the past week I managed to not only survive, but thrive on some of the most delicious vegan food I’ve had ANYWHERE and, despite some close calls, I didn’t have to OD on guac to make it possible. Like most destinations, you can find options in Mexico if you know what to look for and thanks to a growing trend towards vegan, vegetarian and pescatarian lifestyles, big tourist destinations like Cabo San Lucas are always adding new and exciting eateries. First off, some helpful phrases: Soy vegano/vegan – I am Vegan This can be helpful…
7 Things I Learned About Piggies at Better Piggies Rescue
The ‘Better Piggies Rescue’ is a non-profit pig rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption organization. Danielle, the owner of the impeccably kept facility, compares it to having two full-time jobs – if, at one of those jobs, your boss woke up screaming to be fed at 2am. Luckily, her neighbors in the far north corner of Phoenix, just a stone’s throw from Cave Creek don’t seem to mind. Most of them own livestock themselves and know how it goes. Danielle manages the 14+ hour days and never ending workload with lots of humor – her rescues sport names like Picasso (a paint can loving Lothario), Busta (as in Rhymes), Milkshake and Beyonce…
Vegan on the Go: Eating Vegan in Kaua’i
I’ve wanted to visit Kaua’i since high school, and that desire only intensified after as my career in travel marketing afforded me the chance to learn more about the island. Since becoming vegan, my vacations of shifted a bit more towards the eco-friendly variety and Kaua’i strengthened its position as a dream destination on my travel bucket list. Naturally, when a friend of mine announced that she had a place on the island for a week and anyone with a plane ticket was welcome to stay, I jumped at the opportunity. Because we were traveling across the island nearly everyday hurrying to this activity or that, I didn’t get a…

Things to Do on Oahu: Manoa Falls Hike
I have very simple goals on vacation. I’m trying to eat all the things, drink all the things and lounge contentedly. My brain thinks this is a great plan, my jeans…notsomuch. So, I trick my brain (and my body) into getting some work in with outdoor activities. Luckily, Oahu offers dozens of fantastic hikes of varying difficulty. I was able to override the groaning of the rest of my party long enough to convince them to go on a few, including Manoa Falls. Manoa Falls is a 150ft waterfall nestled 30-45 minutes into a gorgeous, prehistoric-looking jungle. We saw everything from guava to super tall bamboo and some breathtaking vistas.…
Things to Do in Oahu: Snorkel & Sail with Holokai Catamaran
We booked our trip to Hawaii kinda last minute for the busiest part of the year so, naturally, I was primarily concerned with finding a place to stay. I lucked out with a great deal at Vive Waikiki – but more on that later. Once flights and accommodations were settled we were left with trying to find activities that weren’t already overbooked with the influx of tourists. While most of our evenings were booked with family dinners, our days were free and we needed to find ways to entertain ourselves and two boys. B and I actually sailed on Holokai Catamaran 2 years ago when we went to Oahu for…
