These are some of the ones I don’t regret spending on. From once-in-a-lifetime experiences to things that were surprisingly affordable, plus how much I paid and how to book them.

approximately 847 shades of blue, an unreasonable number of underwater photos, way too many tropical fish, and me questioning why I don’t live by the sea 🧜🏼‍♀️🫧🌊

Where to go, how to get around, what to do, where to snorkel/dive, and all the practical stuff I wish I knew before going.

But apparently you don’t need to have your shit together to keep going 🤷🏻‍♀️
