Puerto Rico
An island that dances through every challenge.
The dart landed on Puerto Rico. An island that dances through every challenge.

This is my short first take while I write the full story. Press play above to watch the adventure, and check back soon for the complete first-person account of everything the dart uncovered in Puerto Rico.
Puerto Rico: traveler questions
Is Puerto Rico safe for travelers?+
I filmed across Puerto Rico using normal travel common sense and never felt I was taking a reckless risk. Like anywhere in Caribbean, I stay aware of my surroundings and lean on trusted local guidance. I'll add specific, on-the-ground safety notes here once the full Puerto Rico story is written.
When is the best time to visit Puerto Rico?+
I'll share the ideal months in the full Puerto Rico write-up. As a rule I prefer shoulder seasons for thinner crowds and better value, and I plan around the local weather and any festivals worth timing a trip around.
What makes Puerto Rico worth the trip?+
An island that dances through every challenge. The best moments came from the unplanned turns the dart pushed me into. Watch the episode above for the highlights, and check back soon for my complete first-person guide to Puerto Rico.
