If there's anything I love, it's a really good vacation. Send me across Europe and I'll rave about the different cafes and amazing views and places to see and visit or send me to the Caribbean and I'll tell you why an all inclusive is the way to go with all of the beaches and pools to lay out or drinks to drink.
I recently ventured to Bermuda and here are six reasons you should go there, in no specific order:
1. Boats, boats, boats
If you love being on a boat, this is the place for you. You can ferry to different parts of the island or book five different boat tours in a day and spend your time touring the island from a boat. It's got gorgeous views and crystal clear blue waters and I promise you, one of the best views is from the hundreds of boats on the island. You can even go out on night tours, such as a glass bottom boat, to see a shipwreck and nightlife in the ocean.
2. The locals
Bermuda has such rich history and the locals will tell you all about it in the most interesting way. They can point out all of the old buildings and tell you the history behind them. They'll tell you what they like to do and send you to some of the coolest spots. They're extremely friendly because they thrive off tourism and they're almost all in the service business, so you know they're not being fake.
3. The houses
Fun fact: Bermuda is extremely expensive (to visit and to live there), but they have some of the coolest houses. You can actually take a boat tour that will point out some of the coolest houses of famous people who live or lived there. They also have an awesome history behind their houses, like they don't have a water source at the island itself, so they collect rainwater and disinfect it to you.
4. The views
On a boat looking at the island, it's stunning. On the island, looking out, it's gorgeous. On one of the hills of the island, it's like a dream. Down a random street towards stores, at the pastel houses, of the flowers, it doesn't matter, it's all pretty to look at. Pretty sure no matter where you look, the picture you're taking is going to be incredible. It's one of those places that even when it's stormy, it still is so cool to look at that you feel like you're living in a dream. And trust me when I say, vacationing there is like a dream.
5. The weather
Being from the northeast where we get snow and rain and all types of weather, this island is pretty phenomenal. It's not in the Caribbean, so it's not 80 every day, but it's definitely nice weather. You're off the coast of South Carolina, so you're definitely in warmer weather, and the lows in the winter get to... Wait for it... 60 degrees! So it's never freezing your buns off cold, but it gets chilly so you could bundle a little. The weather in the summer is beautiful and warm and sunny. How could you not like that?
6. Hello... The beaches!
This one is pretty self-explanatory. It's gorgeous. It's crystal clear water. You can see fish, you can see coral, you can see your toes in the sand, you can see your toes in the water. What's not to love? Soak up the sun, take a million photos and love your time on this beautiful island.
