My latest article for Cabo Living magazine focuses on stand up paddle boarding, a personal passion of mine.
Paddle Boarding Part 2
Paddle Boarding Adventures
Sometimes a familiar activity opens the door to new experiences. Paddle boarding has become familiar to me over the past number of years in Mexico. But each trip out into the Sea of Cortez seems to bring new adventure. Just last month, we stopped to snorkel and besides seeing so many beautiful fish, there were... Continue Reading →
The Northern Dream
It must be the old newspaper reporter in me. My writing these days is all online. Much of my work involves "ghost writing," so nobody knows it's me who wrote a blog post or website content. For those clients who publish with my byline, it is fun to see my name associated with my work.... Continue Reading →
Paddleboarding on the Sea of Cortes
There’s no better way to start the day than floating on the beautiful waters of the Sea of Cortes. I’m fortunate to be able to paddleboard regularly in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, located on the southern tip of Baja California. Mar de Cortes is also known as Sea of Cortez, and is named after the...

Bird nerd

One of my favourite aspects of spring is watching migrating birds return. The winter birds are soon joined by those who go south for the winter, as week after week, new... Continue Reading →
Road trip to La Paz
A road trip with new experiences is always fun. So we set out to explore the city of La Paz and area and spent three days enjoying new adventures. La Paz is the capital city of the Mexican state of Baja California Sur. The city is located in a beautiful bay, and the popular centre... Continue Reading →
Basking on a boat
As someone who loves the water, there’s something special about being on a boat in that water. I love to swim, snorkel, even just lounge on the beach near the water. I like to sit on the deck and look at the water; just looking even relaxes me. I am very blessed to spend the summer living... Continue Reading →
