Trip to São Miguel Island, Azores // Hiking, Hot Springs, and Delicious Pineapples

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

The Azores have been described as Europe’s version of Hawaii. After a week on the main Azores island of Sao Miguel, it’s not only hard to compare the Azores and Hawaii, but painful to admit that I think I liked the Azores nearly just as much! The days were filled hiking around the mountains, relaxing in hot spring pools, staring off at the endless viewpoints on the coastline, and eating some of the best seafood. If only we got to Scuba dive here on the Azores, then I would know for certain, that the Azores should take the top spot! …

The Beautiful Island of ROATAN // VIDEO

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

If you tell someone you’re headed to Roatan, blank stares and a questioning look are sure to be the immediate response. This little island off the north coast of Honduras in the turquoise Caribbean waters has not found itself on many tourists bucket lists… yet. Roatan has been a scuba divers destination since the early 90s, with more dive sites within 100yds of the island’s shoreline than I’ve seen anywhere in the world. Lucky for me, my wife, Courtney, had always knew about this little slice of paradise and we planed our diving trip here for 2025!

Incredible Natural Hot Springs of São Miguel, Azores

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

I don’t care how many hot springs you may have visited, whether they are in a remote wilderness, or in a fancy hotel, the hot springs in the Azores should be on everyone’s travel list. In just the week we visited São Miguel, the largest island in the Azores, we soaked in 3 very different hot springs. There was the traditional large pool and small soaking tubs of Parque Terra Nostra in the valley of Furnas. Then there were the small pools of Caldeira Velha Hot Springs up in the jungle on the volcanic slope of Volcano Água de Pau. …

What is There To Do in Key West, Florida?

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

Paradise, admittedly, is an overused phrase these days, to which I am absolutely guilty of. A word that has lost its meaning and also means something different to every single person. To some, an ice fishing hut on a frozen lake when it’s -50F outside is paradise, though far from mine idea of a good time. Most others would default the word to a beach with a cold drink as their version of paradise. If you follow Route 1, starting all the way up in Maine, you’ll cross many versions of paradise. But it’s the terminus of Route 1, where …

Finally Finished My Adventure Map

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

Inspired by RoadTripRyan’s adventure map, detailing the locations of all of his experiences in the greater Utah area. I finally decided compile all 400+ posts into a map of my own. For the past ten years, it’s shocking to see all the places I’ve written about in that time. Looking back at my first posts detailing trip to New Orleans and EDM concerts that I’d travel to, all the way to the countless adventures in the mountains around the world. From reviews of hostels in Iceland to reviews of my favorite backcountry skis, the BD Helios 105s. I’d like to …

Island life on Caye Caulker, Belize | Paradise Found

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

Too often travel stories begin with something like, “It just isn’t the same as it used to be. It has become too over developed. Now they just catered to tourists. It just has none of the culture that I thought it would have.” Well, the tiny Caribbean island of Caye Caulker, off the coast of Belize, was everything I imagined a laid back island could ever be. This was a place you could walk everywhere, locals would say hi to you on their way to work, nobody was in a rush to go anywhere, and the favorite forms of transportation, …

Moorea… The Better Island than Tahiti

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

The Island of Moorea, truly one of the most visually stunning places I’ve seen, let alone been to in person. Eight massive, jungle covered peaks extend out of the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Coral reefs wrap around the entire island, creating turquoise blue lagoons that surround the beaches on this paradise. Sharks and turtles navigate in and out of the lagoons, across their homes within healthy coral reefs. And if it wasn’t already amazing enough, you could stay in a bungalow on the water, for $100 a night! Too good to be true? As much as it seems like …

Morro Bay | Ideal Beach Town Frozen in Time

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

Morro Bay, located along the central coast of California, between Los Angeles and San Francisco, just north of San Luis Obispo, has become our new favorite beach town in California. Better than Huntington Beach, better than Ocean Beach, and definitely better than the LA beaches. Morro Bay, with it’s mild weather as we head into winter and the California sun strong as ever. The sounds of waves crashing can be hurd throughout town, as well as the smell of saltwater that accompanies it. You can throw a rock from the town’s main strip into the harbor it’s so close, or …
