📍 M E A S U R E B A Y: Imagine a beach so perfectly tucked away amidst the tiny folds of coastline that you actually have to walk through the ocean to get there...🤯
.
If ever there was trek worth making, it was the one I made to Measure Bay last Sunday.
.
On one side, you're treated to the calm, shallow waters of the sheltered bay and on the other you're greeted by the massive, churning waves of the Atlantic Ocean crashing against towering rocks. Talk about a dramatic scene (you can peep my stories for video reference)!
.
Where is Measure Bay?
This tiny strip of beach is located in the village of Castara.
.
How do you get there?
It's a moderate hike along a dirt road, down a steep incline, through a wooded area and then into the ocean along a wall of rocks. The terrain isn't treacherous but water levels are unpredictable and some parts are a bit tricky so I strongly recommend going with someone familiar with the area - which is what I did with @campnationtobago.
.
What is it perfect for?
We're talking clear, shallow water, stunning views on both sides and spectacular rock formations so it's great for photos. But it's not a journey for heavy loads and with very little shade I don't recommend it for an all day excursion. You can comfortably spend a couple hours scaling the rocks, snapping some pics and soaking in the surf before heading back.
.
All in all, I definitely won't describe the journey to Measure Bay as a walk in the park but it was absolutely worth it!

📍C O T T O N B A Y: Some days nature wakes up

📍C O T T O N B A Y: Some days nature wakes up and decides to just show off. Last Saturday was one of those days...
.
The sky couldn't have been bluer, the trees had never been so green, and the water at Cotton Bay was the clearest I've ever seen. Tobago was having one of its #nofilter moods and I'm so happy I was there for it 🙌🏾
.
Where is Cotton Bay?
It's a gorgeous strip of coastline in Moriah with the soft white sand and calm, clear waters you envision when you think "Caribbean escape" 🏖️
.
How do you get there?
The beauty of this beach is its limited accessibility. You either hire a boat to take you over or scale some pretty dicey rocks along rough surf to get there. FYI: I def took the boat 🚣🏾
.
What's the vibe like?
Peaceful. Usually empty. If not empty, you're more likely to find a handful of residents enjoying this hidden gem than you are to stumble upon tourists 🕊️
.
What's it perfect for?
All day beach lime. Pack your food, pack your cooler, bring some music, some water toys and of course all the garbage bags you need to collect your trash and take it with you when you're leaving.
.
Cotton Bay is definitely worth at least one visit. If ever you feel inclined to indulged in the perfect off-the-grid excursion, reach out to @campnationtobago for the hookup. You absolutely won't regret it.

It's been a minute...and it's been a struggle to write this caption because the past few months have been so heavy that it seems trivial posting about beaches reopening and having a fabulous weekend with friends...but I've come to realize that it's in these heavy times that it's most important for us to celebrate the things that truly bring us JOY.
.
So I'm practicing GRATITUDE today instead of feeling guilty for my blessings while it seems like things are falling apart elsewhere.
.
THANK YOU for beautiful beaches that we can once again escape to, THANK YOU for the gorgeous weather that emerged after the storm, and most of all THANK YOU for all the laughs and genuinely great company after months of isolation and limited physical interaction.
.
For those who aren't yet in a position to experience these simple pleasures, I hope your time will come soon. Until then...stay safe.

✈️ WHERE TO NEXT? ✈️
.
A lot of people have been asking that question lately. It makes sense, I guess. After weeks of being grounded the assumption is that every wanderluster will be jetting off to foreign lands as soon as we get the all clear.
.
But for me, even with all the new destinations I was looking forward to visiting this year, the place I'm yearning for the most is captured right here in this shot. And it's just a 20 minute flight away within the borders of my homeland...
.
TOBAGO...aka Paradise...See you soon!
.
Until then I'll be sunning myself in the backyard to the soundtrack of waves breaking...
.
Hope everyone's enjoying the weekend inside!!! What kind of at-home fun are you guys up to?

☺️ SMILE, LAUGH, BE GRATEFUL ☺️
.
Easier said than done, I know. But, if in the midst of all this, we still have our health, a safe and comfortable place to stay, daily meals, our gadjets, and the wifi required to stay connected to those who matter most, we should count ourselves as BLESSED.
.
Besides, it's a holiday and I'm actually NOT WORKING!!! I started the morning off with some yoga, then soaked up some sun in the backyard, now I'm binging some Big Bang Theory.
.
So yeah...I'm pretty content. And I just want to live in this moment without concern for tomorrow.
.
Cheers everyone!

🧘🏾 IT'S OK TO BE STILL 🧘🏿
.
With all this home-time on our hands a lot of people seem to think it's the perfect time to get stuff done. And for some people, it probably is.
.
Knock off a few of those vision board items and claim some early wins in 2020 because...what else is there to do?
.
But...if you're someone who's struggling to come to terms with the new normal, there's a lot to do before you decide to start a side hustle or learn a new skill.
.
There's coping with the collective trauma we're all going through.
.
There's accepting the fact that we have zero control over this situation and learning how to function anyway.
.
There's adjusting to a lifestyle none of us were fully prepared for, yet were thrust into seemingly overnight.
.
There's checking in on your relatives and friends to make sure they're OK. Not just physically but emotionally.
.
There's taking a beat, taking a breath, pausing every few hours to check in on yourself.
.
There's constantly reminding yourself that this too shall pass so there's no need to stop planning for, and looking forward, to tomorrow.
.
There's reminding yourself to be grateful for the luxuries you're "trapped" at home with, like the internet and smartphone that allow you to still connect with loved ones and strangers on platforms like this.
.
What's happening to each of us right now is a big deal. It's heavy. It's complicated. It's unsettling. And it seems like there's no end in sight.
.
So it's understandable that there will be times when we're not OK. And that's OK. In those instances...those moments that may last a few seconds, a few minutes, a few hours, a few days...remind yourself that it's OK to just be still. Until you feel like moving again.

🏝️ LET'S TALK STAYCATIONS 🏝️ . Good news

🏝️ LET'S TALK STAYCATIONS 🏝️
.
Good news: we will travel again. Providing we #stayathome now, we'll emerge from this unscathed and ready to fly. But do we need to do so as soon as we get the all-clear?
.
NB: There is no "right" answer to that question. However, let's ponder for a minute the implications of making our first post-pandemic escape a staycation.
.
🏢 Support local businesses:
Small businesses are suffering now, especially those in the tourism industry. How awesome would it be to contribute to our local economies by booking a room at a locally owned boutique hotel, dining out at family-run restos, and patronising local tour operators?
.
🗾 Learn about your country:
Once this is over, we would have spent weeks, maybe even months 😐🤦🏿‍♀️ grounded in our houses, but many of us still aren't intimately familiar with our homeland. So, before we venture off to explore foreign lands, why not take some time to experience some of the things that make our own countries awesome?
.
👯 More the merrier:
It would have been a while since we'd have seen family and friends. How incredible would it be to make our first trip a reunion? Keeping in mind that not everyone may be in a position to afford an international getaway, a staycation may be the most feasible option.
.
My campaign for staycations aside, please know that when this is all over, we should all do what we need to do, go where we need to go, and be who we need to be, to feel whole again.
.
Until then...stay inside and stay safe!!! 🙏🏾
