Michael DeFreitas is a globetrotter with an insatiable thirst for adventure. From the vibrant shores of Barbados, he savors every sip of Cockspur Rum, immersing himself in the rich culture of the Caribbean. On Kaanapali beach in Maui, Hawaii, Michael basks in the golden sunsets and embraces the aloha spirit that permeates this tropical paradise. In Tulum, Mexico, he explores ancient Mayan ruins while being captivated by the mystical allure of this enchanting coastal town. And Puerto Vallarta steals his heart as he admires The Rotunda of the Sea sculpture on its iconic Malecon. From Israel's Massada to California's Historic Mendocino Village Inn, Michael seeks out history and heritage wherever he goes. He marvels at the resilience of ancient civilizations and finds solace amidst their remnants. Guatemala's San Juan la Laguna offers him breathtaking views of Toliman volcano and Lago de Atitlan (Lake Atitlan), reminding him of nature's awe-inspiring beauty. As he strolls along St. Kitts' picturesque coastline, Michael feels a sense of tranquility wash over him—a perfect escape from life's hustle and bustle. The Blue-footed booby on Isla Espanola in Ecuador's Galapagos Islands captures his attention with its unique charm—an emblematic symbol of South America’s incredible biodiversity. In Nevada's historic Gold Hill train station or Thurn und Taxis Palace Regensburg in Germany, Michael indulges his passion for nostalgia—immersed in stories from different eras that shaped these remarkable places. And when it comes to culinary delights, local drinks on tables at Tlaquepaque near Guadalajara ignite his taste buds—each sip revealing Mexico’s vibrant flavors and traditions.
