On January 10th I left a very snowy Hood River for what turned into over two months of travel, kiteboarding and producing various projects. One trip blended into another, and before I knew it I had gone from the deep blue waters of the sea of cortez in Mexico to the neon turquoise paradise of Barbuda, deep in the Caribbean.  It was amazing to be able to experience so many different cultures in such a short time, and on top of that pull it off with some amazing friends along the way. Mexico delivered like I always knew it could, I met some of the most genuine people on the planet in St. Lucia,  the boat trip from Antigua opened my eyes to the only way do the caribbean (sailboat) and every time I think about Puerto Rico I want to book the next 4am flight in.
