When I lived in Grand Turk, TCI 13+ years ago, one of my favorite things to see was the mangroves and the rich marine life they harbored 🐠🐟🦀 I remember being so blown away that one day our Form 1 Science class went on a field trip to North Creek. I'd never realized sea water could be so clear that you see all of the marine life present without even stepping in (it was so pretty!!!!) That was the day I fell in love with sea urchins ☺️😂 #memorylane #passionpassport #lonelyplanet #mangroves #northcaicos #tci #turksandcaicos #livetravelchannel #liveauthentic #nikonlove #nikonnofilter #beach #beautiful #weekend #scenery #sea #travelnoire #travel #wander #explore #exploretocreate #picoftheday (at Turks and Caicos Islands)

Throwback to when I'd wake up in the mornings and go searching for answers 🔆 Never found them. I learned that us humans... we complicate even the simplest, sweetest of things; ask too many questions, imagine too many ideals, and worry stupidly about what is to come. Even I today am guilty, and unlearning such habits is proving to be a hell of a task!! #fbf #sunrise #dew #lake #pond #landscape #latergram #picoftheday #vscofilm #vsco #liveauthentic #livefolk #livetravelchannel #passionpassport #peoplescreatives #beauty #airheads #lensculture #gold

Is there anything in nature more calming than the sea? The sea is where I go to be reminded how great I am, but also how small (and mortal). It is my humbling place; the one place, no matter where in the world I am, I go to to reset my balance 💙 Because balance is essential. #beach #beauty #balance #sea #scenery #explore #wander #travel #passionpassport #picoftheday #airheads #vscofilm #vsco #nikonlove #liveauthentic #livetravelchannel #livewhereyouvacation #caribbean #caymanislands #grandcayman

🎶 There's a time when the sea gets rough, The wind is blowing and the fishes keep moving, What are you doing, Mister Man? Sit down, hold on tight, Get Ready, 'cause you're sailing.

Fact: Traveling takes its toll. I'm ridiculously tired but at the same time feeling guilty about just wanting to sleep the day away. Can I pause for a brief moment? Please? ... Oh, and here's a #fbf from a personal series I'm yet to share 👍🏾 Happy Friday! #travel #wander #explore #lonelyplanet #livetravelchannel #passionpassport #peoplescreatives #liveauthentic #stayandwander #nikonlove #airheads #vscofilm #vsco #picoftheday #surfing #swell #surf
