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. After being sort of dormant for a very long time, we decided to “take the bull by the horns” and embark in a 3‑year project Continue reading…
Are you planning a trip to Puerto Rico for this winter? Have you seen all the ads, checked out all the tourist sites, blogs and YouTube videos and still feel lost? Do you feel like you’re being sold to? Well, guess what? You are! Unlike the United States and Europe, Puerto Rico’s peak tourism season is in winter, not summer. That’s Continue reading…
The other day my wife and I visited the town of Arroyo, Puerto Rico. It’s a little town on the southern coast of the Island that was one of those that took the brunt of hurricane María six years ago. Like many other towns in Puerto Rico the destruction caused by hurricane María is there for all to see. The destroyed Continue reading…
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…
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 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…
This morning I published the photo that you see at the top of this post. It’s the Punta Tuna Lighthouse in Maunabo, Puerto Rico. Together with that photo I included the following commentary: “Lighthouses can be an excellent source of tourism income if townships only had a little imagination and determination”. Of course, this blog is all about tourism in Continue reading…
It was the morning of September 19, 2023. My wife Zory and I explored the little town of Yabucoa, Puerto Rico as part of or “5 Must-See Places” series on YouTube. It was surprising to see how far this town has come from the devastating events of September 20, 2017. Just 6 years earlier Yabucoa was the epicenter of one of Continue reading…
I have a sentimental connection with Las Piedras. After all, I sold my first insurance policy there. I was a young man, starting off as a “salesman” with Combined Insurance Company. I hadn’t sold anything in my life, so the experience was terrifying. After stumbling through a canned presentation, I finally sold my first insurance policy to an old man Continue reading…
Today we are going to talk about Río Grande. Río Grande Puerto Rico, that is. But before we do, let me tell you why this article is late. August has been a complicated month for me. I started by visiting my son on the mainland to celebrate the third birthday of my youngest grandson. Little did I know that I had Continue reading…
