Barranquitas, Where Beauty and History Come Together
Aibonito, Puerto Rico’s Garden in the Mountains
This week my wife and I visited the beautiful town of Aibonito, Puerto Rico. We got to leave the noisy, stressful reality of urban living in the San Juan Metroplex to enjoy the peaceful beauty of Puerto Rico’s countryside; if only for a few hours. We arrived in Aibonito, a little over 8:30, on the morning of February 26. It was Continue reading…
Salinas, Puerto Rico | Fine Cuisine, Lots of History and Great People
Last Monday, February 12, my wife Zory and I visited the town of Salinas, on the southern coast of Puerto Rico to produce this post and a 13 minute video.

Guayama, it could be so much more!
Puerto Rico is a great place to write a travel blog. And if you’re covering the town of Guayama, it’s even better. Or is it? Last year was a great year at Puerto Rico By GPS.

Patillas Puerto Rico: Green, Rocky & Cool
Last week my wife and I visited the town of Patillas, on the southeastern coast of Puerto Rico. It’s one of those small and sleepy towns that are best visited in combination with adjacent municipalities. However, we did discover some gems that make this town unique and well worth the visit. I must admit that the words Green, Rocky & Cool Continue reading…
Should You Visit Puerto Rico With Delicate Electronics?
Today was supposed to be a normal day in Puerto Rico (whatever that might look like). I was supposed to record a voiceover for my upcoming video and start editing it. Then, after 2–3 days of work, I would write a 2,500 to 3.500-word post for the same location. After that the cycle would start all over again. But normal in Continue reading…
Maunabo, Puerto Rico | A Tiny Town With Huge Possibilities
Maunabo is one of those tiny towns in Puerto Rico that still has the magic of yesteryear. For many years it was one of the hardest towns to get to because of its geographic location. That certainly put a damper on “progress”, but it also helped save the “magic” of that sleepy Spanish-style town that we all love. My wife and Continue reading…
