I had the pleasure of visiting the Caribbean for spring break this year, and let me tell you -- it was hot, and it was humid. But aside from both of those, it was an incredible experience! I recommend that everyone visit the wonderful Caribbean city life or the Caribbean nature if you are an outdoors person! Here is a list of places that are a must-visit while in Puerto Rico.

San Juan.

Also known as the Capital City, at least that's what the locals call it. It is filled with beautiful shops and places for sight-seeing. The areas that encompass Viejo San Juan, or old San Juan, include Castillo San Filipe del Morro, the Paseo de La Princess or the Princess Passage all the way up to the Atlantic Ocean were incredible. San Juan was just so beautiful and romantic. I could feel the richness in the culture, food, and people that invited me in the experience. I highly recommend it for everyone!

El Yunque Rainforest.

El Yunque Rainforest is the only U.S. preserved rainforest and a beautiful place for hiking, swimming, and nature-exploring! Many international travelers visit this site and you know it when you're practicing French, Spanish, and Scottish all at the same time! It was so much fun and a great place to see the entirety of the island -- which is possible, and breathtaking!

Ponce.

Ponce is the second oldest city in Puerto Rico and is filled with all kinds of cool attractions like Parque De Bombas, pigeon feeding (which is the strangest sensation, but enjoyable if given a chance), and really awesome shopping! There's plenty of history in this city and it's definitely worth checking out!

Bioluminescent Bay in Fajardo.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to experience this while being there because it was too early in the season but if anyone thinks of going in the summer, that's when this bay is at its brightest. Oh, if I didn't mention already, it glows at twilight and there are kayak tours when this bay is all lit up like the Aurora Borealis. I plan on going back just to experience this wonder.

Ziplining in Toro Verde Adventure Park in Orocovis.

There are nine ziplines to choose from, and one is the longest zipline in the world. Unfortunately, I was not able to do this, but it's another to add to my list when I go back to visit because thrill-seeking is fun and ziplines are just awesome!

I enjoyed Puerto Rico so much that I cannot wait to go back! This island is filled with great culture, great food, and great people. I made a couple of friends while there, experienced a day-in-the-life -- or days, is more like it -- of how the locals live, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Now, go! Go to the Caribbean and enjoy yourselves!
