My Scary Hiking Adventure at an Australian Beach
Years ago, I went a hike on an Australian beach that became one of the scariest experiences of my life. This beach, known as Rainbow Beach, appears and disappears with the tides.

Exploring El Yunque National Forest
While I was scuba diving in Puerto Rico, my wife lost her AirPod on a tour with friends in El Yunque National Forest. So, being the nature nut I am, I was happy to go looking for it. El Yunque is special because it’s the only rainforest in the U.S. National Forest System.
During our quest for the lost AirPod, we explore nature trails, visit Yokahú Tower, enjoy local Puerto Rican food, and ultimately, embrace the beauty of the Río Mameyes at Puente Roto. Come adventure with us!

We visited many places on Honshu (the largest of the Japanese islands), but the Izu Peninsula was definitely among our favorites. We scuba dived there and saw a lot of bizarre sea creatures, but the landscape itself was breathtaking.
