A Travel Writing Lifestyle, On the Road

April is shaping up to be a very busy month on the road. It’s not every ones cup of tea but it suits me. I start off exploring the Florida Keys, with my favorite travel partner, Lil my wife. I haven’t been to the Keys since my spring break college days, yup along time ago.

Next is a trip to St. Lucia, a new destination for me. While many people think of the island as a honeymoon destination the fact is that St Lucia was named as one of the top 50 eco-tourism destinations in the world by Natural History Magazine. Besides the sea there are volcanoes, rainforest and mountains to explore, not to mention little fishing villages. It is said that there is a bit of a South Pacific feel on the island.

After a one night stay back in New York I then head to Lyon and the Rhone Alpes region of France. Focus for that trip will be châteaux stays and vineyard exploration. Food will figure in heavily as Lyon is the food capital of France. My last five days in France will be in Paris and the focus of that will be basing myself in Paris and taking day trips by train from the city.

Like I said it may not be for everyone but I sure am looking forward to heading out and checking some new places and adventures. It is very hard to travel write if you don’t travel.
