About Me

Hello fellow Vacationists, James Bussey here. You’re probably don’t want to hear me prattle on about my life, so I won’t.

Instead, I will just share a little about where I started, where I am and more importantly, stuff that I think will be helpful to you.

If you’re here, chances are it’s because you want to figure out how to enjoy an amazing vacation, take an adventure and explore the world. You want to chase a passion or live out a dream.

Why are you here?

You want to see amazing destinations, have a thrilling adventure, meet wonderful people, create lasting friendships, sample mouth-watering and exotic cuisines and more. And maybe you want to do it on the cheap or maybe you want to blow a bonus check on an astounding experience!

Ultimately, you are here because you’re sick of the daily grind and want to get away from it all.

So, I have done my best to share this breath-taking world with you. Just relax or swim with sharks, whatever your desire to do and the things you need to do it are all here for you.

So who is James Bussey?

Honestly, I’m more like you than you might think. I’ve been a working professional for many years. I got the travel bug very early in life.

Growing up in southeast Michigan I ventured to Canada often; Toronto is a fave destination. After getting my driver’s license I was always taking road trips all over the midwest and as far south as the Carolinas.

In my senior year of high school, I spent 6 months in the former U.S.S.R. living with a host family in Moscow. I also visited other places in Europe including Great Britain and Poland.

As I got older I lived in Portland, OR and, ultimately, moved to Tucson, AZ. So, Mexico became another place to explore. I often didn’t have much time so cruises and road trips were my go-to’s.

I have enjoyed many places in Mexico – Puerto Vallarta, Puerto Peñasco, La Paz, Esnsenada, Mazatlan, Cabo and others.

However, my passion has become the tropics and I spend my time nowadays trying to figure where next!

Having married a Filipino I fell in love with the island country and have reinvigorated my love for all things travel. I love the planes, trains, boats, trikes, jeepneys, automobiles, airports – EVERYTHING! Oh yes – And the destination!

My most favorite place in the world is still Boracay Island, Philippines.

All the best on your new adventures!
