  • Day Trip to Portinatx in Ibiza

    The quieter, northern tip of Ibiza has a mix of beautiful sandy beaches and rustic, rocky coastline.

  • Day Trip to Cala Llonga Beach, Ibiza

    My day trip to Cala Llonga beach was perfect. It was one of my favorite beaches on Ibiza! It’s beautiful, especially because it feels like a private beach.  Quiet, crystal clear water, white sandy beach, rocks to explore, and sun drenched white steps leading up to the apartments overlooking the cove. If I ever return, I would definitely stay here a few days. Cala Llonga Beach Cala Llonga is on the east side of the island. Because of this it’s best to visit in the morning/early afternoon. Likewise, the beaches on the west coast are best for their sunsets. Of course, any time is really great for either. There is a small town and several restaurants,…

Hello!

I resigned from a corporate career in product design & development to explore the world. Although my goal was to travel for a year, 8 years later, I’ve been honored to have explored 65 gorgeous countries and met some incredible people. Our world truly is a beautiful place!

If you wonder how I came up with the name Gorgeous Unknown, it’s from this Anthony Bourdain quote, “Travel is about the gorgeous feeling of teetering in the unknown.”

This is so true for me. I adore exploring new places, meeting people from different cultures, and trying new foods.

So follow me into the gorgeous unknown by subscribing below. You’ll receive details on my favorite destinations, detailed travel guides, tips and more.
