Traveling and reading are two of my favorite things. There’s something so magical about turning an experience or idea into a string of beautiful words that make you hear something; see something; feel something. If you’re a literary lover like me, you may want to consider travelling to some of […]
Boquete might be most famous for its vast number of American retirees, drawing in hordes after AARP published a report naming it one of the best places in the world to retire. Its reputation as a great place for the aged frequently overshadows another reality. Boquete is a true hidden gem […]
