Everyone has come across the gorgeous beach boy at least once while on Instagram, and if not, go do yourself a favor and follow him on Instagram: @jayalvarrez. Best known for his adventurous lifestyle and risk-taking behavior— all caught on camera and mostly edited by himself, most of which he claims they represent his dreams. With summer around the corner, I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling adventurous. This is how you can achieve that in the most Jay Alvarrez fashion possible.

1. Get out of your comfort zone!!

Calling all adrenaline junkies! This one is for you. It could be anything from skydiving to cage diving with sharks (I’ve personally done this and it’s a must.) YES, it is terrifying, but it will make your trip that much more memorable!

2. Bring your whole entourage.

Bring the whole gang with you! Nothing better than sharing everlasting memories with friends. “Remember when..." No, Jeffrey, I don’t remember. Jk, not really though.

3. Go somewhere topical!!!

Where the water is as blue as the sky on a cloudless day and you can catch a golden brown tan. Who needs clothes when you can just permanently live in your swimsuit? I don't know about you but sounds like heaven to me.

4. Eat like an island prince/princess...

Mmm, doesn’t that look delicious! I’m not just talking about the food.

5. Ohana means family.

There is no better way to get a sense of another one's culture than by becoming friends with others from another culture! Mix in with the locals and always support local businesses no matter where you are in the world. Take it from the man himself—his contractor from Hawaii now lives with him. You can follow him at @charleythecontractor on Instagram.

6. Attend a festival.

Festival season is upon us and an absolute must to attend! Dust off your flower crowns and get your glittery ass to a festival.

7. Have no regrets, whatsoever.

Something spontaneous you really want to do? Do it! You want no regrets thinking back on your summer vacay.

8. Take photos and videos!

We were blessed with technology, now is the time to use it. Jay Alvarrez makes thousands of dollars from doing exactly this! His job is a constant holiday! Go check out his new video on YouTube about how he got to be where he is today. Damn, and here I am worrying about my midterms.
