With the release of my full report of St. Martin coming out next week, I thought I would share a portion of it now. This was when I was walking down Simpson Bay beach by Karakter and Mary's Boon. This is up there as one of my favorite spots to be on the Dutch side. Karakter is my #1 restaurant for breakfast and Mary's Boon is amazing for the afternoon drinks and lunch. I am missing that water right about now...

Moved to NYC just about two years ago. This city is everything I knew it would be. Theater, energy, walking/biking everywhere, nightlife, food, bars, food, food, pizza... The one area I have struggled with here is making friends, but I'm pretty sure that's a problem many people struggle with in their (cough) 30's. For such an overpopulated city, it sure can feel lonely at times. But I've had more time to work on myself and this city inspires me all the time.

I'm currently working on my full video update on the island of St. Maarten since Hurricane Irma, when I came across my footage from @theholeinthewallsxm and it made me miss the nights I spent there with all the wonderful patrons. It's where I was when the @RedSox won the World Series and it's where I will be the next time I visit. If you like live old school rock music, hilariously friendly locals and gingers shots, then you have to go to The Hole in the Wall in downtown Maho, Sint Maarten. Tell Matty the bartender that I sent you!

Just remember, it's dangerous to jump out of planes backwards without a parachute. Could result is severe physical harm resulting in extreme bodily harm and/or death. Unless you are in a Michael Bay movie and it will result in looking like a total bad ass with a Hans Zimmer score playing behind you.

I normally like to focus on the recovery of St Maarten, but I felt the need to share this tour of a house destroyed by #HurricaneIrma, because of the powerful feeling I had while standing in it. It was my first experience of being inside a house that had been destroyed. I want us all to remember the power of mother nature and not pretend like this can't happen again. We need to rebuild in a way that will reduce the chances of something like this again. See the full video on Youtube, Facebook or IGTV. Music by @jushuahendricksmusic

That moment when your drone "loses signal" and starts to return home and you end up with two beautiful shots on opposite sides of the hill. #noregrets
