Life is an adventure - Saint John, USVI

I'm Jenna and I took a leap of faith with my boyfriend, Hayden by deciding to pack up our belongings and move to St. John, US Virgin Islands. I'll stay updated on what we find and learn throughout our journey!

Day 47: Trunk Bay what a beautiful beach! It's a must visit but do be wary that you have to pay. Your best bet for going in for free is going around 4-4:30 ;)

This is what happens when you live in a house full of ECU fans... So much for watching a good game on TV... Haha still love y'all ;) Roll Tide!

Day 46: Babysitting on the side! What a sweet little girl were watching :)

When you get to the island it is all about the people you meet and the experiences you have. Don't stress out about the small thing in life.

Day 38: Just had the worse experience ever… Beware of the manchineel tree!!!! Morgan ate a random fruit off the ground that looks like a little green apple and started feeling burning in her mouth… Imagine pouring the hottest hot sauce in your mouth and it doesn’t go away for hours… Awful… Then start feeling sick to you stomach… This is when we freaked out, when we brought a sample to town to show locals they freaked and told us to get it away from them, “the apple of death” they called it. Supposedly the white sap is so deadly when it rains it can burn your skin and the smoke can make you blind!!! Luckily, a friendly couple was more than happy to help us out and called the hospital to find out more. She didn’t have the symptoms like shortness of breath, blisters or enough that she’d have burning of the stomach line… She took Benadryl and Pepcid for meds. Then foods that absorbed the spice feel like milk, creamer and rice. Omg “story of the day” best relief in the world to know Morgan's okay! I love you, Morgan! No more eating random fruit!!!!

Day 37: the small things are what count the most in life.. Soak it all in! "The trouble is, you think you have time" -buddha Enjoy every aspect of the world and what it offers. Never give in to society's expectations.
