Sea turtle off the coast of San Cristobal, Galapagos
It was one of my favorite days of the big summer trip…a full day snorkeling and wildlife spotting off the coast of the island of San Cristobal in the Galapagos. Anytime you get in the water in the Galapagos you’re immediately joined by sea turtles, sea lions and often sharks (whether you see them or not) and on this day we saw all three. Swimming among sea turtles and sea lions is a remarkable experience, though I admit I could have done without the circling hammerhead and black tip sharks down below at Kicker Rock. But it’s all just part of the Galapagos adventure so suit up and dive in!

I spent the following year planning my own trip-of-a-lifetime and have since made it into an annual, month-long adventure visiting and writing about more than 130 countries on all 7 continents along the way - all while maintaining a full-time career. Today, my goal is to be that spark of inspiration for others by proving that you can fulfill your wildest travel dreams without quitting your day job.
