Last month, I stayed at the Riu Baja California in Cabo San Lucas for 6 days, and this time I travelled for vacation and not as a travel agent.

 In this episode, I will be going through the experience I had so that you can have the information you may need to decide if you want to stay at this resort on your vacation.

Even though some resorts invite me to stay there, I will always be keeping it real for my clients, so you will hear the good, the bad, and the ugly.

In this episode, I’ll be talking about my stay at Impressive Premium Resort, Punta Cana.

I took some time off, and I really felt like I needed to address this.

Many people told me not to bring attention to my hiatus and to just continue releasing episodes from where I left off, but things have happened in the last few months and I feel that I need to talk about how travel has helped me get back to where I want to be.

Today, I have a good friend of mine, podcaster, music festival connoisseur, traveller, Johnny Mclean.

This episode is going to be so good. For the past few episodes, we’ve dedicated them to specific niches of travel, and today, we’re getting into Music Festival Travel.

Everybody loves music. If you love music AND travel, you may want to merge the two, and music festival travel is the perfect way to do that.

Do you remember when we would travel somewhere and we would always get the question, “business or pleasure?”

When I first graduated college, I would travel for my first job, and that was business travel. We didn’t have social media, so no one was taking advantage of all the opportunities that we now know exist. If I knew about bleisure travel, believe me, I would’ve been living my best travel life a long time ago.

Today, if I get asked the question, “business or pleasure?”, I’m saying both business AND pleasure, which is what we’re going to talk about today, and it’s known as Bleisure Travel.

It’s episode 80, y’all!

I feel like we know each other well enough now, right?

Today’s episode is going to be all about cannabis tourism, and because we know each other so well, I’m going to be calling it weed as well.

It is March 28th, which is National Weed Appreciation Day (not the kind of weed we’re talking about today), and that gave me the idea to find out everything I could about cannabis and tourism, and let me tell you - it’s been enlightening!
