So, I just stuck with my instincts: check out a neighborhood a day at a time, relax at night, and just ride the wave. It was also the first time I decided to […]

Why don't I have a social life and live super simply? Because I feel most at home on a plane heading to a new country. It's quite frankly what makes me feel alive. Where's next?

Perhaps I'll squeeze one more trip into the Caribbean or Central America as well. . . . . . . . . #bucketlist #travelgram #lovetotravel #traveldairy #simplyadventure #exploretheworld #dametraveler #flashesofdelight #openmyworld #wheretofindme #mytinyatlas #beautifuldestinations #getaway #wanderlust #worldtravel #travelstoke #earthfocus #traveltherenext #worldnomads #thetraveltag #travelzoo #sharetravelpics #itravelbecause #traveladdicts #adventure #findingyourself #journey #adventurer #livefree
