Spending a week at Haramara Retreat in Sayulita with Nourish Retreats was fantastic. As you read before, the resort is fantastic and unlike anywhere I’ve ever stayed before.

Haramara Retreat in Sayulita, Mexico, is unlike anywhere I’ve ever stayed before. This spa and yoga retreat center completely blows my mind. I’ll be staying here with Nourish Retreats for the next week. You’ll hear much more about Nourish Retreats and my Sayulita trip in the coming days! Terri and Kim, the founders and co-owners [...]
Image: hmerinomx I am thrilled to announce that my next adventure will take me to Sayulita, Mexico! I have been invited by Nourish Retreats to join them for their Escape 2011 trip — a week of surfing, yoga, healthy meals, wellness, and living in an eco resort! And here’s the best part — you can [...]
On this week’s round of Travelers’ Night In, the interactive Twitter discussion for avid travelers and travel lovers, the theme was Spicy Travel!
