There is a reason traveling is one of our favorite things to do in the world! Itโs honestly one of the few things that we can truly say we do for ourselves. Cities are a great escape to get lost in someone elseโs world, but islands are where you get lost in yourself. So the next time you decide to pack up and go on a self discovering trip, we want to make sure you know where to go!
