If someone had told me l would like another place in America as much as l like Los Angeles, l would have laughed. “Not possible” would have been my answer. I would have had to eat my words though as we both really, really liked Miami.

We had never been, so it seemed like a good idea to spend some time there after our cruise to the Dominican Republic. Federico had a photo shoot scheduled during the week, so we figured we might as well discover more of this breezy city. Here are six impressive Miami Florida highlights and a bonus!
I still miss my father. Everyday. I rarely talk about my loss to people. He died almost 21 years ago at the age of 72. It’s hard for me to believe that so much time has passed. The memory of his death is still so vivid in my mind. I thought he was invincible.
A daughter’s tribute to her father:
My father ate right, didn’t smoke, exercised and had the biggest heart ever, almost to a fault. It would take him and my mum 5 full days to finish one bottle of Guinness. One phone call at work shattered my world.
My father had suddenly started bleeding about 3 weeks prior. They were unable to treat him in Nigeria. It was ultimately colon cancer. Even though the doctors suspected it, they had no equipment to make a proper diagnosis. The decision was made to transfer his care to a London hospital.
Unfortunately, a visa was only granted to my mother. My siblings were all refused visas. One of the curses of having a third world passport is that you are often denied entry to the first world countries. They just assume that people will go and never return.

It was also a chance to meet new people and do some good, no matter how small it felt. Often times, l, and l am sure a lot of other people, tend to feel guilty about being so fortunate.
How often have you been at a resort with all the conveniences, only to take a look at the people serving you your drinks, food etc. You notice the difference immediately. You  may want to help, but not know how. Fathom is here to show you how to #traveldeep.
Postcard from the Dominican Republic: A Beautiful Place A week with really wonky wifi has me behind on a number of things. I abandoned the wifi altogether after watching the dreaded spinning wheel. I missed it for about ten minutes 🙂 before falling into the rhythm of the ship. We spent the last week aboard …
Kurhotel Skodsborg is a spa hotel located just twenty two minutes by train from Copenhagen’s main train terminal. It’s only five stops on a very comfortable ride.

A further ten minute walk from the train station brings you to the expansive grounds of the hotel. It feels like you are in a different world. One side of the hotel offers never ending views of the ocean while the other is all forest, affording you numerous choices as to how to spend your time.
