Evita’s Mausoleum in the Recoleta Cemetery

So, I recently found out that Eva Peron and I share a birthday. And oddly, the day of her death falls on my mom’s birthday. As an icon in Argentina who is still remembered and revered, I wanted to put this Suh-Weet Shot up of her mausoleum entrance around a significant date in her life. […]
The Cliffs of Moher

In previous Suh-Weet Shots, I showed off the cliffs of Ireland and a beautiful old Irish castle, both on the west coast. Of course, the most renowned thing to see in western Ireland are the cliffs of Moher. Steep dropoffs into the cold North Atlantic are seen from the lookout platform. If I’m being 100% honest, they […]

Yesterday was ANZAC Day. If you’re not from Australia or New Zealand, you will be forgiven for not understanding its significance. If you are from Australia or New Zealand, it’s a big deal as I found out while visiting the World War I battlefields in Gallipoli, Turkey where thousands of Allied and Ottoman Empire forces […]
Sunset on Easter Island

Last week, I had a shot of a horse on Easter Island and I couldn’t resist throwing up one more Suh-Weet Shot from there. Just outside the town of Hanga Roa (likely where your hotel or hostel would be) within walking distance is the beach with Te Ata Hero, a series of 5 moai on one platform. […]
Horses and Moai on Easter Island

I so loved Easter Island. In a country like Chile with major contrasts, Rapa Nui (its traditional name), offers something completely different. Given it’s polynesian roots, those who have been to Hawaii, New Zealand, Tahiti or elsewhere in the Polynesian triangle will feel a certain familiarity upon arrival. I bought a last minute 4 day/3 […]

Today is my niece’s birthday so for today’s Suh-Weet shot I thought I would post a photo from our trip together to Greece. During my career break, I had the chance to travel with her for three weeks around the country. We packed in a full itinerary: Crete, the windmills of Mykonos, a sunset in Mykonos, […]
Surprisingly Colorful Hiking Trail to the El Morado Glacier in Chile

Posted On: March 29th, 2013
The first hike of my career break was just outside of Santiago, Chile to see the El Morado Glacier. I was about 4 weeks into it and was ready to see something besides a city. It was a field trip organized by my language institute. From our parking spot the hike took a couple of […]
Colorful Butterfly in the Amazon

When I see a butterfly outside in a park or in a garden, I take a passing glance and move on. But, something happens to me when I visit a butterfly farm. I become mesmerized. I’m like a kid in front of a TV watching cartoons. Can’t. Stop. Staring. When I went to the Amazon while […]

Almost a year ago, we created a fund raising drive for The Career Break Travel Show in Indie Gogo. It was a hard decision to make. After all, up until that point, the show had been completely self-funded. But, the time it was taking to get it to TV was taking its toll. Giving up […]
Squirrel Monkey in Cali

After my trip to Monkeyland in South Africa, I became a fan of the squirrel monkey. Although they are native to Colombia and can be seen in the wild in the south of the country, I found this little guy at the zoo in Cali (not very adventurous I know). Mischievous, loud and occasionally aggressive […]
