It’s one thing to feel a connection to a place beyond what you see and what you might already know about it, but it’s another step entirely to truly get off the beaten path and explore the depths of it. Gabe Erivez from Agave Expeditions has done exactly that with Baja California Sur. Beyond the crowded beaches and surf breaks, Gabe has sought out locals and their stories, bringing the real culture of Baja to life for his guests, whom he leads on 4x4 overlanding trips down the peninsula. Join us today as we learn more about Baja through Gabe’s eyes, and through the eyes of the locals he has come to call friends.

Jackie and her hockey teammate Matt Parsons compare notes and share perspectives on their recent two-month sabbaticals, including why they decided to take the time off, how they set themselves up for success in doing so, what they spent their time off doing (Jackie's sabbatical was a staycation while Matt's was a vacation to South America), and what they ultimately took away from their experiences. Whether you've considered taking a sabbatical yourself or not, we invite you to open yourself up to the idea and take a listen!
