“Don’t tell me what a man says, don’t tell me what a man knows, tell me where he’s been.” Anthony Bourdain

When 2011 ended I made a resolution to visit 10 new cities. Some came through work while others were visiting friends. Traveling is stressful, chaotic, terrifying and exhilarating because you never know what will happen or who you will meet. At the end of the year I hit my goal of 10 new cities and found 7 new beaches.

Charleston. Nashville. Austin. San Francisco. Nappa Valley. Kona, HI. Chicago. Costa Rica. Richmond.
