Traveling around Puerto Rico to film with Richard Bangs and Orbitz has been an adventure! Lately we are meeting incredible athletic stars and sports champions!

Our stay at Wyndham Grand Rio Mar included spending time with Golf Pro Jesus Rodriguez on the 16th hole on the Ocean Course. He is a wonderful man and even helped me putt a coconut!

If you want to live at the stunning Bahia Beach Residences, the Beach is just the beginning! I highly recommend lunch by the pool at SeaGrapes, the mahi mahi tacos were truly tasty! The Sand Dollar Members only area Beach was spectacular!

After meeting two famous Puerto Rican golfers, we were treated to a tour of the Royal Isabela and unforgettable cuisine in a lovely outdoor setting by tennis champion, Charlito Pasarell. Ready to relax and get away from it all on 2000 acres, I saw a casita with your name on it! Join Charlito and his entire team to explore cliffs, beaches and a golf course that will make your jaw drop.

This week: filming in Puerto Rico with Richard Bangs and White Nile Media! We are creating videos for PRTourismCo and Orbitz Originals.  Check back for all the stories and video or follow along on our Tagboard (more below). I cannot wait to share the videos and more stories with you!
