Bienvenido a la isla del encanto! 🇵🇷🌸 • Just posted my guide to San Juan, Puerto Rico on the blog, so be sure to check it out! I was so impressed with our time there, though too brief. Everywhere we went was beautiful, the weather was lovely, the people were friendly and welcoming, and the food was overall delicious! If you haven’t yet, be sure to add Puerto Rico to your list. ✈️ • #travelblog #tandctravel #puertorico #whateverpr #theeverygirl #photography #discoverpuertorico #placespuertorico #letsgosomewhere #tlpicks #culturetrip #passionpassport #acolorstory #verytandc #theprettycities #traveladdicted #prgram #gglocalgems #prturismo #suitcasetravels #iamatraveler #goopgo #traveldeeper #puertoricogram #sheisnotlost #dametraveler #darlingescapes #mydomainetravels #girlsjustwannatravel #globelletravels
Weave it to me! 😎 • This cute beach tote was handmade in Madagascar so it’s totally sustainable and ethically produced! The sale of the bags enables families to gain economic independence, preserves traditional craftsmanship, and promotes environmental conservation. You can shop some of my favorite styles (including this pink which is on sale on a few sites) using @liketoknow.it 🙌🏻🌱👜 • http://liketk.it/2zv9o #liketkit #travelblog #sustainablefashion #fashionblog #fashiontrends #fashionblogger #designerfashion #outfitinspo #ethicalfashion #ecoluxury #resortwear #whatiwore #classicstyle #sustainablefashionblogger #sustainabledesign
Goats n’ hoes 😎🐐 • While in Puerto Rico, we spent a day traveling up into the mountains to a town called Comerío and a sustainable family farm named Adicto a la Terre, which translates to ‘Addicted to the Land.’ The farm and the home was completely destroyed in Hurricane Maria and they are still in the process of rebuilding what they once had. Crops will take years to be profitable again and dense jungle has begun to take over some of the acres that have yet to be replanted. Because of this, they are welcoming small groups of tourists to visit. We had a lovely meal of traditional foods (all made from plants grown on the farm), a local band played, and we explored for several hours. 🌱 We also stopped in town for coffee and pastries at Aurelio’s Bakery, a locally owned business that has only just reopened after the devastation following the hurricane. Sadly, the husband and wife duo that owns it had finished construction and been finally ready to open their new bakery ONE DAY before the hurricane hit. The entire structure was demolished and it’s taken them over a year to get back up and running, but with the help of their family and community, they were able to do so. ☕️ I love to travel not so that I can sit in an Americanized resort sipping cocktails while never really leaving the things I can get anywhere. Rather, I travel for the local experiences like these ones—to meet locals, try foods, and hopefully gain some insight into their way of living. 🧳 And if I get to play with a baby goat along the way, well, I think I won. 😅 • #puertorico #sustainablefarm #verytandc #gglocalgems #tandctravel #passionpassport #whateverpr #suitcasetravels #culturetrip #goopgo #travelblog #traveladdicted #prturismo #puertoricogram #letsgosomewhere #tlpicks #foodiesofinstagram #theprettycities #theeverygirl #traveldeeper #iamatraveler #prgram #discoverpuertorico #acolorstory #sheisnotlost #darlingescapes #dametraveler #travelfashion #girlsjustwannatravel #globelletravels

Sun-set the bar higher ⛅️ • I’ve been living in this gorgeous printed dress since I bought it for my Florida trip last month! The material is lightweight and comfy and the silhouette is ultra flattering, plus it can be dressed up for a nice dinner or down as a beach coverup, and everything in between. I adore pieces that are versatile, especially when they’re sustainably produced! My tote and hat are also ethically made, so happy to be in head-to-toe #sustainablefashion 🤗 http://liketk.it/2ztH9 @liketoknow.it • #travelblog #dametraveler #sheisnotlost #traveladdicted #theeverygirl #iamatraveler #suitcasetravels #traveldeeper #gglocalgems #mydomainetravels #designerfashion #travelfashion #goopgo #darlingescapes #letsgosomewhere #outfitinspo #liketkit #resortwear #adventuresofanthro #whatiwore #classicstyle #fashionblogger #fashionblog #fashiontrends #sundress #ecoluxury #ethicalfashion #globelletravels #girlsjustwannatravel

Keep watch 🏰 • The sentry boxes that line the ramparts of the wall surrounding Old San Juan have become a national symbol of Puerto Rico, seen everywhere from postcards to license plates. Within a few decades of its settlement in the 1500’s, Puerto Rico had become one of the wealthiest seaports in the Americas. This, as well as its strategic location, made it a target and the Spanish made Puerto Rico’s coastline one of the most densely fortified in the region. ⚔️ Though the British and Dutch led unsuccessful attempts to claim Puerto Rico, for centuries the fortress at El Morro in San Juan was never overtaken. That is, until the Spanish-American War in 1898 when U.S. forces took over the fort and island, and eventually absorbed Puerto Rico as a territory under the Treaty of Paris. 🇵🇷 • http://liketk.it/2zsoC @liketoknow.it #travelblog #dametraveler #sheisnotlost #suitcasetravels #theprettycities #tandctravel #prgram #gglocalgems #whateverpr #puertorico #letsgosomewhere #discoverpuertorico #traveladdicted #theeverygirl #acolorstory #puertoricogram #traveldeeper #tlpicks #passionpassport #goopgo #prturismo #placespuertorico #verytandc #darlingescapes #iamatraveler #mydomainetravels #designerfashion #outfitinspo #liketkit #travelfashion
