There are obvious perks to to working for ISLANDS magazine: sit on a beach, drink margaritas, sleep-in and get a tan... While getting paid. All great things. But my favorite part? Putting myself out there and doing things I never thought I could do, or would ever get to do.
Doing so makes for my best stories and most memorable travel experiences. Travel like a traveler. Get out of your comfort zone. Challenge yourself. My take: things aren?t just going to come to you; you have to seek them out.
In the past few years, I?ve flipped a snowmobile on a glacier in Iceland, got ran over by a Segway in the D.R., and learned to dive in Cozumel. I even got to meet Guy Harvey in Bimini.
Traveling changes you. And it?s addicting. Come back from one trip, and you?re already craving another. Why? Because it?s hard, tiring, stressful. And just fantastic.
