Hi Steemit friends! It’s been awhile since my last post, but I’m excited to get back to my blogging community. Today my post is going to cover photos from my latest diving experience over the weekend.

Last weekend I was fortunate enough to attend the very first Pride Parade on Saint Croix. This event definitely marks a turning point on our little island. There have been marches before but never a parade

This is what I refer to as slowing down... live simply and live happily. 🧜‍♀️☀️💕🏝 Sand between my toes, sun on my skin, breeze on my face, book in my hand and always all smiles. There’s magic on this

There is nothing like getting up early in the morning on Saint Croix to take a hike during sunrise on the East End of the island. It is all mostly a protected, untouched national park. Beautiful, clean,

A couple of days ago while snorkeling off the East End of Saint Croix in search of lobster, a friend and I were lucky enough to come across a Nurse Shark hiding in the rock ledge. The shark paid no mind

Out of all the places I can go on Saint Croix, one of my all time favorite spots is Goat Hill. It’s not the easiest hike on the island but it is definitely one of the most rewarding. Straight up hill for

This last week being back on island and back in the water has been nothing short of magical! I don't know if it was the reset from being out of the water for the week or the fact that I've been spending

For those of you who follow my blog, you already know that I spend a significant amount of my time exploring the Caribbean waters that surround Saint Croix. After a week off island I was absolutely dying

Wilderness in my heart Have you ever experience nature by walking on your foot, by discovering your own country? By visiting places that you considered to be boring and explored? You should try to step

I’ll be off to Florida tomorrow to meet up with my mom and some friends to then road trip to New Orleans for the Jazz fest. As excited as I am, I am honestly already missing my time in the water next week.

This weekend I took some time to drive out to the West end of the island, Fredricksted. I wanted to capture some of the random and beautiful art that can be found on the roads in town. This end of the

For me, on this little island I call home, there is nothing in the world more gratifying than spending an entire afternoon in the water exploring. Whether it is scuba diving, free diving or just snorkeling,

If this isn’t an example of nature’s will to survive, adapt and overcome I don’t know what is. 🦀❤️

Although I was lucky enough to be off island when both Irma and the Maria rolled through, my love for Saint Croix brought me home well before power had been restored to most of the island. I moved back

Even on days I feel pretty rough from the evening before I have been sticking to my goal of making it to the beach at least once a day, if even just for ten minutes. It’s the perfect reset for any mood
