Personally I am not the lounge by the beach sort of person. I enjoy the beach but I go in, frolic in the water have a few tropical drinks and then do what I really love. Seeing the sites. Learning about the culture!!

@Deiondra Chalwell For me it depend on the time I had. I would start on the island I landed on and make a long list and short list of all I wanted to see. Then I would look at the highlights that the other islands had to offer and figure out if I wanted to hit my short list and hop the islands in the time I have or if I only had time to hit the majority of my long list one one island. I did this process when on my cruise to the bahamas and it worked out well. Decided to concentrate on the island i landed on and max out the must-see and dos on those specific landings.
Why didn’t I have the time of my life?
Ever come back from a trip and think, “Why didn’t I have the time of my life?” It’s weird, right? You pick a spot that everyone raves about, check all the “must-sees” off your list, and yet… something’s missing. It’s not that the place was bad. It just didn’t fit. Nobody tells you travel isn’t one-size-fits-all. Some of us recharge in quiet corners, some crave a little chaos, and some just want to know where the exit is in a crowded airport. Sometimes the destination is gorgeous, the food is great, and the photos look perfect but you still feel out of sync. That’s not failure. That’s just real life bumping up against travel’s highlight reel. Ever had a trip that made sense on paper but didn’t line up with what you actually needed? I’d love to hear your story if you’re up for sharing. (No pressure, always.)

@Deiondra Chalwell interesting question and I didn't really think about that because normally for sure I process it at the end of the trip but I have to say usually about halfway into the trip I began to realize that I'm not quite getting the value out of it that I thought I would be getting. Sometimes I can pick out what's going on here another times I don't really get the process it too much in my head until the end of the trip.

From learning new cultures to simply enjoying life, travel has a way of expanding us in ways nothing else can. Travel isn’t just about checking destinations off a list...it’s about experiences, growth, and the memories we carry with us long after the trip ends. Here are a few reasons why travel will always be worth it 💙 👇 💬 Let’s chat: Which reason speaks to you the most right now? What is your biggest reason for traveling? What would you add to this list?

Love this question. The thing that keeps coming back for me, especially lately, is clarity. Travel has this way of cutting through all the noise. Routines, expectations, the daily static. It shows me what actually matters to me. Not what's familiar or comfortable, but what matters. Sometimes it's growth. Sometimes it's rest. Sometimes just perspective. And sometimes it's realizing the trip I thought I wanted wasn't the one I needed. That realization alone? Makes it worth it. Even when things don't go perfectly.
