The ferry to Fastnet Rock pulls away from Baltimore harbour at dawn, €80 lighter in your wallet. Three hours of Atlantic swells lie ahead for a distant glimpse of Ireland’s most famous lighthouse. Meanwhile, fifteen minutes south of Goleen village, a narrow coastal road leads to Rock Island Point where an 1843 lighthouse stands guard … Lire plus
After two decades documenting underwater museums across the Caribbean, Mediterranean, and Pacific—from Grenada’s pioneering sculptures to the Canary Islands’ Atlantic installations—I thought I’d seen every possible fusion of art and ocean. Then in 2019, during a marine conservation research trip to Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, I discovered something that fundamentally changed how I understand the relationship … Lire plus

I still remember the afternoon my hairstylist pulled out photos from the 1970s and said, “These styles are perfect for you.” At 64, I’d been struggling to find a cut that worked with my thinning hair and active lifestyle. But looking at those feathered layers and soft, flippy ends, something clicked. Could a style from … Lire plus
At 62, I finally said goodbye to my skinny jeans. Not because someone told me to, but because they no longer served my life. The constant tugging, the post-lunch discomfort, the nagging feeling that fashion was dictating my choices rather than enhancing them—it all became too much.

Standing at 442 meters above the Arabian Desert, sunset paints the skyline in copper and gold while the vast sand stretches endlessly below. This isn’t a rendering of Manhattan in 2050—it’s Dubai today, where the Burj Khalifa pierces the sky at 828 meters, nearly three times the height of New York’s Empire State Building. The … Lire plus
I pulled into the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm parking lot on May 2nd, 2022, expecting fields of vibrant color. Instead, I found green stems and scattered petals—I’d missed the bloom entirely. A third-generation farmer named Ross Iverson noticed my disappointment and walked over. “You came three weeks too late,” he said kindly. “Tulips don’t follow … Lire plus
I discovered something surprising during a routine health checkup last year: my cholesterol numbers were climbing, despite what I thought was a healthy diet. My doctor mentioned medication, but suggested trying a natural approach first. That’s when I learned about an ancient spice that’s been quietly helping people manage their cholesterol levels for centuries—and you … Lire plus
I nearly drove past it. Mile marker 45.3 on Highway 1, where a weathered pullout barely fits three cars.

The … Lire plus
I still remember the moment my Vietnamese guide whispered, “Please don’t tell too many people about this place.” We stood on Con Dao’s pristine shore at sunrise, watching traditional basket boats drift past waters so clear I could see endangered dugongs grazing 50 feet below. The fisherman’s grandfather used these same waters. His grandson might … Lire plus
