With Spring Break season in full swing, everyone is in travel-mode and ready to depart on their next big journey, including me! With that, there are tons of fun, exciting, and beautiful places to go and a plethora of thrilling, adventurous things to do, so I am sharing just a few of my all-time favorite travel destinations and what to do while you're there!

1. St. Lucia

If you're seeking adventure, excursions, snow white beaches, and crystal blue water, St. Lucia is the place for you! You can ride horses not only on the beach but swim with them, too! (by far my favorite part) Ziplining, catamaran tours, and mud baths are also a must do while visiting this gem of an island!

2. Belize

PSA: some of the best views can be seen looking down from the plane as you are flying in! If you really want to be immersed in the culture, ride a golf cart, the country's main mode of transportation, through the tiny towns, stop at local dives for authentic food, and, if you are feeling super adventurous, take part in the chicken walk. If you pick the numbered spot where the chicken decides to go to the bathroom, some Belizean dollars could be in your future!

3. Costa Rica

Costa Rica isn't your typical Caribbean destination, especially if you call the Pacific side of the country home while you're there. Costa Rica is known for its EcoTourism activities. My favorite by far was the white water rafting, and if you're lucky, you may see a few monkeys hanging out in the trees on your hike to the river! However, if you're not a fan of rice and beans, Costa Rica may not be the place for you because that is their go-to dish for EVERY meal!

4. Barbados

If you like beautiful beaches, transparent water, and superb food, this place is for you! Spend your days relaxing on the beach or learning how to dolphin dive on a flyboard, and spend your nights indulging in some of the best food (calories don't count in foreign countries)! Warning though, locals drive insanely fast on the LEFT side of the road, so best piece of advice: close your eyes during road transportation!

5. Jackson Hole, Wyoming

This one if for all you out there who don't "do" beaches! If beaches aren't your thing, try the mountains, specifically the Tetons in Jackson Hole. White water raft, take a tour to Yellowstone, or hop on a horse and ride up the mountain! The possibilites, not to mention the sights, are endless here!
