I have always been good at research and know how to get things done. I’m also I super strong person and don’t take advice from people who have not experienced what I’m trying to achieve. When I found out vaccines were ready, my first thought was, how could I get it and where could I get? I’m honest with myself to know I was born in a “3rd world”/developing country and knew it would be a challenge for my country to get vaccines. I knew that before it was announced. Therefore, I had to creatively find a way to solve my problem and get vaccinated. My next thought was which country could I visit to get it? The research began. I started with the Caribbean, Cayman specifically because my Dad lives in the Cayman Islands, and he had already gotten his first shot. The only problem was, Cayman was still closed. I had to think smarter and do some deeper research. I eventually thought about the US and now had to find a state that was vaccinating everyone and not just a particular age group. When I finally found one state, I shared my plan with a small group of people. Of course they had doubts. All but one. She said go through the process and tell me about it. The others: Don’t go you’re not going to get it because you are not a US citizen. As I said earlier, I’m a strong person and don’t take advice from people who have not experienced what I’m trying to achieve. I recently joined a book club/entrepreneurship mastermind and It just so happened that they were having an in-person Content Creation Bootcamp(in the same State). The stars aligned and I had two reasons to travel. Fast forward to one month and 5 states later, I’m #Pfizered I intentionally didn’t post until I got my second shot. There are so many lessons to take from this story but my biggest take away is, Do your research and don’t take advice from someone who has not already achieved what you are trying to do. Yes, there are exceptions where they are sharing someone else’s experience but most of the time they don’t really know. They are just projecting their fears on opinions on you. #jattractions #girlswhotravel #jamaicanswhotravel #solotravel #travel #vaccinated #pfizered (at Mercedes-Benz Stadium) https://www.instagram.com/p/COvDoobB0hP/?igshid=m2a0rvrz3fl5
