Meet the Team

 Halie grew up in a little town in Ohio where she had a fascination for the outdoors. No stone went unturned, as she searched for critters who hid under leaves, fallen trees, and rocks. Now that fascination with the living world has taken her to the sea, where she delights in discovering both large and small marine organisms like green sea turtles, bubble corals, and tiny crustaceans!

Her dream adventure? Jumping into the surge on SCUBA with schooling hammerheads off of Lombok, Indonesia! If you're looking for the adventure travel of a lifetime, plan your adventure with Halie in San Juan, Puerto Rico!

Steve advocates for an holistic approach to health and wellness and uses these principles in his own life. Growing up in rural Ohio, he spent every spare minute exploring the farms, rivers, and forests of his home. These instilled in him a deep appreciation for nature and how we each are part of, and not separate from, the tiny, water-covered sphere sitting in the vastness of space. This reality led him to explore not just external nature, but our internal nature, and how they live in harmony with each other and what happens when they don’t.

 Chef Karlox Esteban Ayola Peñoza, a Puerto Rico native, takes great pride in creating delicious fusion foods that celebrate the rich food heritage of his island home. As a descendent of the Ayala family of Loíza, Chef Karlox's connections to the rich Afro-Boricua culture of Puerto Rico influence his gastronomic creations. 

Nutri Munchies, Chef Karlox's specially prepared dishes for home delivery, allow foodies the opportunity to eat healthy and delightfully crafted snacks within the comfort of their home. Foodies will also find Chef Karlox working with chef Benito Molina at authentic Mexican restaurant La Revolución. 

Our mission is to provide travelers relaxing retreats and outstanding adventures in the stunning Caribbean island of Puerto Rico. We design custom, private tours for travelers, including trips to remote coral reefs, secluded beaches, natural tidal pools, and waterfalls.

~ Our Philosophy ~

We believe that great health is central to enjoying our lives fully. To have great health, we need to care for all of ourselves – body, mind, and spirit. This means a plant-centric diet, movement and play, and centering through mindfulness. 

Steve and Halie have spent years learning about and using holistic wellness practices to benefit  our health. And we believe that the earth provides an abundance of amazing riches to help us, including superfoods like cannabis, an important part of this basket of wonders we have at our disposal..
