The first time that we heard of Sayulita was about five years ago while sitting in surf lineup off the coast of Palos Verdes in Southern California. Our friends were talking about an undiscovered and unspoiled, sleepy village that had a great surf break and a laid-back attitude. One of the guys was married to a woman from the Nayarit area and visited Sayulita on a regular basis. He was very positive about the village and the surrounding area.

There was also a small piece in Sunset Magazine around that time, and coincidentally, or was it serendipity, that we scheduled a trip to Puerto Vallarta and rented a six bedroom villa with a group of friends. We thoroughly enjoyed the region around Puerto Vallarta and felt very comfortable with everyone that we met. We vowed to return, but this time to Sayulita!

Our first visit to Sayulita was in January 2013, and we have returned three more time since then.

Bob and Janice are planners doing intensive research before selecting a destination to spend their time and money since travel requires a lot of both. After reviewing the options and sorting through the commercialized messaging they determined that the personal, actually been-there-done-that, firsthand information was sorely missing.

Bob and Janice began to document their travels as a means to “relive” their adventures. The idea to share their own personal accounting to help fellow travelers was the “kick start” of their publication site in May 2015… Inspired Travel Itineraries.

Bob and Janice introduce their readers to slow travel concentrated on vacation rentals and boutique hotels, culinary explorations, and absorbing the "local" vibe of each destination. Their tag line is "After all, what is the hurry... be inspired!"
