I'm funding my future travels while working as Director of Fun & Culture. Why is fun important at the workplace? Because it is working hard, but also taking mini-breaks. FUN helps to get things done and then happy employees give so much more. The fact that I can come into work and have FUN is central to the quality of life. I'm making going to work great again, because going to work shouldn't suck! #warrioroffun #sanfrancisco

The landscape in San Pedro De Atacama looks like Mars. The town itself is made for tourism but I love walking the dirt streets aligned with Adobe style buildings and seeing and meeting people from all over the world (lots of French and German). The things to do outside of town are out of this world-space tours, geothermal fields, valley of the moon, salt and alpine lakes and so much more. I'm really loving this place in the Norte Grande of Chile. #warrioroffun #nofilter (at Valley of the Moon, San Pedro De Atacama, Chile)

Cafayate Wine Tasting Part 1: Skip Mendoza, sorry Mendocino friends and come to Cafayate, the wine region of the Northwest. I love love love this small off-the-path town where the main attraction is wine tasting and hiking! My two favorite funtivities. Malbec, Cabarnet Sauvignon and the popular Torrontés are grown here. I prefer 'vino tintos' until I met Torrontes a few years ago, so I was excited to learn more about this grape. I love this region more than Mendoza because it's more of a 'pueblo' then a city (part of the Salta province) and the vineyards outside of town are accessible via bike or cheap taxi ride and there are tons of bodegas for wine tasting inside town. Today I explored the vineyards outside the main downtown. My first visit was at an authentic family vineyard called Domingo Molina where I got a private tour (thank you Spanish and low tourist season) and tasting. It's harvest season until the end of April so I was lucky enough to see and learn about the particular process of Torrontés (grape shown on video) wine making along with Malbec. The whole one-on-one educational experience was awesome and definitely made up for my Mendoza disappointment. #warrioroffun. (at Domingo Molina Vineyards, Cafayate Argentina)

Finally! I got to sit at the very front and top level of a double decker bus, the icing on the cake if you love the window seat and are passing through beautiful landscapes in the middle of the day on Ruta 40! Ruta 40 or La Cuarenta is sometimes compared to the U.S's Route 66, but I've done Route 66 and there is no comparison. The landscapes from Patagonia to the northwest are dramatically different and more beautiful. I'm now headed to the NW of Argentina to experience the desert, see lots of cactuses and dramatic rock formations and drink more wine in Cafayate. The other wine region. #warrioroffun

450,000 cubic feet of water thunders down the 275 cascades. There is no denying, hippie or not, that there is a special and positive energy at this place. #warrioroffun (en Devils Throat, Iguazu Falls, Brazil)

One for the Bucket List: Trekking on a Glacier. IT SHOULD BE ON YOURS! There is something really amazing about being on a natural wonder of this size. #warrioroffun (en Perito Moreno Glacier)
