A Honeymoon in Iceland
I have always wanted to go to a Nordic country. It didn't matter if it was Sweden, Norway, or Denmark, but something where the Nordic culture is still ingrained into the lifestyles of all its citizens fascinates me.

Airbnb: Origin and Other Interesting Things
Like so many other great inventions and discoveries, Airbnb came about by accident. It filled a need for schoolmates who could no longer afford to pay rent for their loft apartment. Therefore, Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia blew up an air mattress in October 2007, and used their living room as a place for others to stay. They set up a website to announce their idea.

Why Travel?
Travel is overlooked by many people. The thought of boarding a plane to the other side of the world comes across as intimidating and unnecessary. Social media and the internet have made it possible to see the world without leaving your home. You know what the Eiffel Tower looks like, you know the Golden Gate Bridge is red, it’s easy to picture the unique architecture of the Sydney Opera house. Television, radio, internet, and even books have fed us information about the world, putting us under the illusion we know what’s out there. So, why travel?

Everybody Does Machu Picchu Wrong. Top Story - September 2019.
These days it seems like everyone has been to Machu Picchu. Your friends plaster selfies of themselves at the famous lost city with the same enthusiasm of Hollywood directors showing their latest imagining of some two-bit hoodlum slaughtering Batman's parents.

Vineyard Magic
The Vineyard has always been a very special place for me since I starting coming to this beautiful place, over 10 years ago. After a week in the Vineyard, I left there feeling inspired and motivated. Martha's Vineyard, and in particular Oak Bluffs, has always served as safe space for African Americans to get away from it all. But this trip was a little more magical and a little more special. It felt more like a family reunion where you meet family that you’ve never met before, but you knew you were connected to on some level. Oak Bluffs, MA is a historic African-American resort community that should be experienced by all, both young and old.

Hatrick's Orlando Holiday Guide
I decided to write Hatrick's Orlando Holiday Guide last year. It took me nearly a year to complete it, and it launched in April on iBooks, Kindle, and in hard copy (available on my website). It's 52 pages of essential and humorous info that, even if I say so myself, is a must-have for any Orlando visitor!
