More sights & sounds from Guadeloupe. From walking More sights & sounds from Guadeloupe. From walking the beach at Pointe Des Chateaux, to rocking my killer klawz by @klawzbykeelah, to mirror selfies & street art. ✨

This trip is feeding my soul. I’m eating, exploring, walking, sleeping, getting lost, writing, speaking in horribly broken French, but the people here are kind and indulge me. I’m thinking of making a solo trip an annual thing for me, it’s been the perfect gift. 

Here are some travel locations I’m eyeing in the next few years:

Panama
Cost Rica
Nicaragua 

Ireland
Denmark 
Malta 

Vietnam
Indonesia 
Cambodia

Senegal
Ghana

What’s on your travel list?! And shout out to @klawzbykeelah for slide no.3! The heaux were loving it for real. 🤭🔥
I know not everyone can get away, take a momentary I know not everyone can get away, take a momentary escape from their lives, for some it’s not realistic. I was raised by a mother who deserved to reset, pour into herself, but was rarely able. 

She’s helping my husband now so I can take this solo trip, she knows it’s essential for mothers to have something of their own, even if it’s a small window of uninterrupted time. 

So if you can, book the trip, do that thing, lock yourself in your room to binge watch old movies, ask a friend to watch the littles for half the day, whatever it is, do it, because it’s not selfish.

Also I’m gonna try to do this once a year. 😛

If you’re visiting my IG stories you know that I If you’re visiting my IG stories you know that I stole away to Guadeloupe by myself for a few days, super last minute. 

This all came about because our therapist asked me to share what makes me feel alive. I listed a few things, including exploring new places, especially internationally, especially alone. 

I did that a ton before motherhood, havent in the five years since. No time, felt irresponsible, ya know?

But here I am during the only short window I had to do anything before my fall is on lock for another fun season of ARC. 

I picked Guadeloupe because it’s always been on my list. It’s a hidden gem and reminds me of St. Lucia in some ways. It’s not commercialized, my fave, and with an extremely low crime rate is touted as one of the safest islands in the world. I booked and over paid for a flight immediately, while my mom, hubby & niece hold things down with Nova.

Maybe this is your sign to do that thing for you, you say you can’t, now. 

And if it’s not too personal, I’d love to read what makes you feel most alive below. 👇🏾🙏🏾❤️
