The Foreigner Who Keeps Coming Back
Travel has always been my escape from the rat race — and honestly, I enjoy the planning almost as much as being there. Researching destinations, mapping routes, finding that perfect beach town. Puerto Rico caught my attention because it felt like a Caribbean escape without the hassle — no passport needed, US dollars, and my phone just works.
The first time I landed in San Juan and drove west to Rincon, I was hooked. The turquoise water, the golden sand, the sunset cocktails — and a realization that Puerto Rico is unlike anywhere else. The addiction began.
Since then I've explored the island thoroughly — from the cobblestone streets of Old San Juan to the bioluminescent bays of Vieques, the surf breaks in Rincon, the colonial architecture of Ponce, Culebra's world-class beaches, and Cabo Rojo's dramatic cliffs.
I'm not a travel blogger. I work in healthcare IT. But Puerto Rico keeps pulling me back, and I finally decided to put everything I've learned into something useful — a site with real local knowledge, honest prices, video content from the places I've actually been, and an AI trip planner that builds itineraries from real experience.
It's the resource I wished existed when I first started exploring these islands. It just took this long to figure out how to build it.
