Michael (@roecken)

Michael is an avid traveler.  Always looking for places to go and new things to see.  Over the past few years Michael has had the opportunity to travel to places like Hawaii, Cancun, Bahamas, Aruba and Germany.

Although, always looking for a new beach to enjoy, Michael also likes staying local and tries to go on as many road trips as possible.  Sometimes the perfect trip is a nice weekend getaway to a new city or region to get away from the hustle and bustle of every day work.

Having been to a few sun destinations in the last few years, Michael is looking forward to exploring other types of scenery such as the various countries of Europe, as well as some of the popular destinations in Canada and the United States.  

Michael also likes to visit the casinos of the world.


Aleen (@aleenroecken)

One of Aleen’s passions in life is to travel.  She enjoys everything there is about traveling -- the culture, the lifestyle, the landscape and most of all, the experience.  She sees each travel opportunity as a chance to learn something valuable that goes beyond one’s everyday experiences.

Aleen looks for not only sunny and beach destinations but those of adventure as well.  She has traveled to destinations such as Mexico, Florida, Bahamas, and Aruba.   Her travel style is diverse and she is willing to see all sorts of new places.  It is not only beautiful scenery she looks for but cultural diversity and historical sights as well.

Aleen will be looking forward to sharing her travel experiences.  If it is from the beautiful mountains of Hawaii or from the crystal blue waters of Aruba or from the lights and sounds of LasVegas.  You can count on her being there and giving us a detailed report and review of the local cuisines and attractions.
