Hey gyals,

Welcome back to Roseconnexa for another blog post.

How are you feeling today?

Before we continue; we should take a moment to center ourselves.

Focus on your breath and release any tension in you shoulders.

Alright now..

Today’s topic is about some of my travel experiences.

I’m giving you guys my Top 5 Places to Travel.

If you’re looking for a dope vacation spot for the summer; then this is the right post for you.

Traveling is definitely a hobby of mine. I try to travel as often as I can.

And, when I do, I like to emerge myself in the moment and in the culture.

I talk tons of pictures of course but I do it for the purpose of keeping memories.

I try to stay off my phone as much as I can while on vacation too.

So, traveling to another country works for me because I usually don’t have service unless I’m on Wifi.

Attending a Caribbean medical school; gave me the great opportunity to actually live in another country.

I lived in Anguilla for almost two years. And, Anguilla is definitely on my top 5 list.

Now, I get to travel with my fiance!

His football journey has allowed us to move to Richmond, Va and now to West Virginia.

We love the experience, because we get to see new places. And, we get to travel with each other.

I couldn’t imagine sharing this journey with anyone else.

AND, when I pass my exams; we will have to move to Chicago. I literally can not wait for that!

Okay enough of all that… let me gave you guys what ya came for.

Here’s my Top 5 Places to Travel this summer.

Anguilla

Anguilla is my #1 place to travel.

Anguilla is a small Caribbean island that’s located next to St. Maarten.

It has some of the world’s most gorgeous beaches.

The local people are so nice. The local food is delicious and fresh.

Anguilla should really be on everyone’s bucket-list!

Living in Anguilla; I got to experience the culture, the beaches and, really the Caribbean way of life all together .

I LOVED living there.

I love Anguilla so much that I plan on getting married there in Februrary of next year.

This summer, my fiance and I are planning to take a trip to Anguilla ourselves.

We have to officially start the wedding planning process.

YES, a destination wedding in Anguilla. Sounds like a fairy-tale to me. Thank you Hubby!

My favorite thing to do while in Anguilla is of course to, hit the beach.

Anguilla has sooo many beaches to choose from. It’s pretty ridic.

Most of them have bars and restaurants too! So, you’ll be great hands.

The resorts on Anguilla are something spectacular. And, the villas OMG! My favorite would have to be the Four Seasons. Which is on one of Anguilla’s most popular beaches; Meads Bay.

I experienced so much in Anguilla. This blog would be way to long if I kept going on about it. So, I’ll save the rest for another blog post.

But, to sum everything up; Anguilla is one of my favorite places in the world.

It’s a small island with a lot to do. The beaches are breathtaking and to die for. The locals are welcoming and there are so many great restaurants to dine at. There are two islands around; that you can visit too while spending time in Anguilla.

It can be a little expensive but it is so worth it. You can get some great pictures in Anguilla too.

And, better yet you can get some much-needed rest.. if the chickens permit.

If you want to have some real fun; visit Anguilla during carnival week. Their carnival is during the first week of August. When I tell you that its way too lit!!

I never seen so many people on the island before attending Anguilla’s carnival. You will have the time of your life. Trust me.

Belize

My fiance and I, got to visit Belize during a seven day cruise for his birthday.

We absolutely fell in love with the island.

Well, Belize is actually a mainland that’s on the east coast of Central America.

Spending one day in Belize was not enough. We def plan to visit Belize again.

Maybe for our honeymoon or something! We shall see.

There is literally so much to do in Belize.

Things like visiting the Mayan ruins, ziplining, and ATV tours.

My fiance and I didn’t have a lot of time to do everything so, we just stuck to cave tubing.

Funny enough; we actually thought that we choose a tour that would take us to the Mayan ruins.

But, caving tubing worked out for the better because it was so HOT.

And, cave tubing was cool asf. In both temperature and in sights.

We didn’t try any local food but we were able to eat local fruits and plants. Which were very delicious, I might add.

Overall, I think Belize is a great place to travel to because it is huge!

And, there is so much to do and see. Even while just driving around we saw so much.

Our tour guide was really great too.

I literally can’t wait to go back.

St. Kitts & Nevis

It wouldn’t be right if I didn’t put my dad’s home country on my top 5 list.

St.Kitts & Nevis is actually pretty close to Anguilla. On a good day, you can see St.Kitts from Anguilla. It’s quite cool.

I have visited St.Kitts (SK) so many times throughout my life.

Nevis is a sister island that is literally right next door. I’ve visited there I think only once for their carnival. It was SOOO fun.

I love SK because it is literally home to me. I first visited when I was 9 months old.

And, growing up we would visit at least once a year. We would stay for a month or two!

One of the best experiences I can remember in SK is when, my family and I climbed through the volcano.

Yes a VOLCANO, you guys. It was about the coolest thing that I have ever done.

We climbed to the top and had lunch on a ledge at top of the volcano (where lava spits out at). Don’t worry though, the volcano is dormant! We were safe but, not safe from the monkey’s who decided to throw half eaten banana at us.

That adventure inside the tropical rainforest and through the volcano took all day! And, after, we all slept like babies. It was a big deal hike. A hike that I would do again and again if I could.

SK is truly a beautiful and upcoming place. So much to do and see. And, the local is amazing.

SK has a cool downtown area which is usually busy during the day. They even have a movie theater there (well last time I went they did!).

When we visit we usually stay at our family home. The home my father and his siblings grew up in.

But, I have stayed at the Marriott Resort in SK. It’s beautiful and very private. And, great place to stay on vacation!

Like my Anguilla experiences; I could keep going on and on. But, I’m keeping it short for the sake of my hands and for you guys.

I will have another post about that’s all St. Kitts in the future. So please stay tuned.

Overall, SK is one country that you have to see in this life.

The culture and the land is beautiful beyond words.

And, having monkeys throw stuff at you or steal your alcoholic beverages is a just plus!

Toronto

Toronto is probably one of the coolest cities that I’ve gotten the chance to visit.

The city is so inspiring and they have legalized medical marijuana. So, that’s a big plus!

I didn’t have a lot of time in the city. But, I got to see so many cool things.

I took a picture of the CN tower but unfortunately I cannot find it. BOOO!

Toronto is such an artsy city. It almost reminds me of Philadelphia in a way.

It’s a great city to visit; especially during Caribana.

When I visited Toronto; Caribana had just ended.

But, trust that I got the festival vibes. There were decorations still hanging up around the city. So, that was pretty cool to see.

If you go in during the summer; be prepared for some serious heat though.

And, find this place called Graffiti Alley.

Graffiti Alley has some killer killer artwork.

I took so many pictures of all the creative pieces. They still inspire me to this day!

I also saved a Canadian five dollar bill as a souvenir. Their money is super cool.

St. Lucia

Oh St. Lucia, how I love you so.

St. Lucia is one of the most greenest islands that I have ever experienced.

It also has so many mountains. Like the famous Piton Mountains.

I went to St. Lucia with four of my classmates.

We decided that after our hardest semester of medical school; that we would take a seven-day cruise around the Caribbean.

It was a great experience to say the least.

We miss cruise!

While in St. Lucia, we did so many things.

We went to the Sulphur Springs to indulge in super hot volcano water and a mud bath.

When I tell you that that water was HOTTTTT. But, it felt sooo good beyond good.

Definitely visit the mud baths while you’re in St. Lucia.

We also took a tour around the island.

We stopped on the side of the road a couple of times too.

Once to take pictures with snakes and some locals.

And, another time to try banana flavored foods; like banana ketchup!

It was surprisingly really good (in my opinion). I bought some home for my family to try!

St. Lucia is known for their banana industry in fact

There are so many banana farms; it’s actually kind of crazy.

The adventure in St. Lucia were truly unforgettable.

I hope to visit again one day. I need a week vacation there. That would be LIFE.

There you have it loves.
