OH SHOOT!

For some time, Chris, a local and up & coming photographer wanted to shoot with me. And a day ago it finally happened! We've been planning for a while, but whenever we decided to do it something would always come up. So one day, he popped out of nowhere and we made that day the day to shoot. I really love these photos! They are natural. All me. No makeup. No airbrush. No edge control lol(oh mehn I really needed it). My clothes weren't even ironed lol i'm so ashamed. But this is the real deal. The real me. How I look basically everyday.

Here are a few of the photos:

TRAVEL DIARIES | TRAVEL BUCKET LIST

One of my many goals in life is to be able to travel anywhere in the world whenever I want to. I want to experience different countries, their traditions, foods, architecture and more! (The above pic is from my trip to California last summer btw :) ) So today, I am going to share with you guys 5 places that are on my travel bucket list.

Let's get started:

1. St. Barts
Yes, I live in the Caribbean but there are numerous places that I have not been to and St. Barts is one of them! St. Barts is a french island. It is known for its active, hip, hedonistic island atmosphere, its great dining, beautiful beaches, and tremendous water sports activity. St. Barts is one of the best islands to find yacht racing, regattas, and the largest private luxury super yachts in the caribbean. It is known to attract an upscale crowd because of its convenient location- roughly midway between 2 major sailing centres, Anguilla and Virgin Gorda.

2. Greece
I won't lie, I fell in love with Greece when I saw the episode of the Kardashians when they visited there. It looked so spectacular on television, so just imagine what it looks like in person. Specific places in Greece I'd like to visit are Mykonos and Santorini. From backpackers to the superrich, from regular people to celebrities, Mykonos & Santorini has become two of the most popular of the Greek Islands. You can visit a few of the many churches in Mykonos, go on sailing tours, visit museums, enjoy fine dining or simply relax and enjoy the wondrous view.

3. Dubai
Dubai, Dubai, Dubai. Where do I begin? lol I know Dubai has to be on almost everyone's travel bucket list! This place has been on my travel bucket list for years. Dubai is a city in the United Arab Emirates known for its luxury shopping, ultramodern architecture and crazy lifestyle. No one can possibly get bored in Dubai. From visiting the world's tallest building(828m), Burj Khalifa, to shopping at the Dubai Mall which has about 1200 stores (that is ALOT) lol, to taking a tour through history by visiting historical sites and museums to doing something a bit more daring like sky diving or even sand boarding in dunes of the Dubai Desert.

4. Bali, Indonesia
We are almost to the end of my travel bucket list. This next place Bali. It is an Indonesian island known for its volcanic mountains, rice paddies, beautiful beaches and coral reefs. In Bali, there are many things to do. You can do cooking classes, to learn the fine arts of Indonesian cuisine, visit the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary, take a dip in the Sekumpul Waterfall and even take a quick trip to the Tegalang Rice Terrace.

5. Fiji
Last but not least, Fiji. Fiji is a beautiful group of islands in the south pacific with more 300 islands. It is known for its rugged landscape of blue lagoons and palm-lined beaches. Fiji is a beach bum's vision of nirvana. Because Fiji is a group of islands, one thing one must do is an island tour! Imagine doing tours of these beautiful islands, sailing on the bluest water in the world! Just spectacular. You can also visit the sand dunes, eco park, and waterfalls.

Feel free to let me know which countries are on your travel bucket list in the comments below. xoxo :)❤️

SAILING ADVENTURES

Living in the British Virgin Islands has its perks, and one thing I do enjoy about living in this paradise is the ability to go sailing whenever you want. In today's blog post, I'll be sharing a few photos from my sailing adventures for the year so far.
