Holiday Gift Guide for Traveling Island Girls

December is here and everybody is being inundated with Christmas gift ideas. From what to get your husband, wife or mistress to the right gifts for the mother-in-law from hell or your favorite pooch.

There is one group I have not seen a gift guide for yet and that is the Traveling Island Girl. I am not referring to myself here, although the guide below certainly represents most of what I would like to receive from Santa this year. I am talking about all of the island ladies that travel often, whether it is for business or pleasure as well as the island girl always on the go.

5 Fun Fearless Female Travel Bloggers to follow on Instagram and everywhere else

They are fun, they are fearless and they are traveling girls. My favorite combo.

Meet 5 of my current favorite chicks to follow on Instagram. It’s not only their incredibly captivating photos, it’s not the places they have been to (even though those are quite impressive) and it is definitely not the amount of likes or followers they have. These fearless females are everything we as women should strive to be: fearless, determined, daring and independent.

They have paved their way to their own happiness and have created beautiful, tell-all social media accounts and websites to show us all how they do it.

Guest Blog Post: Luxury found in Punta de Mita, Mexico

By Jeremiah Eleonora a.k.a. The Atlanta IslanderSelf proclaimed travel snob, luxury connoisseur and “W” Hotel fan.

Back in the days when I used to call Europe my home I used to love city trips……. Taking in the culture, shopping, partying or simply kicking it back and unplugging from the hassles of everyday life – it also made short hops to those old, monumental and historical cities scattered all over Europe easy, fast and affordable.

A few years ago I moved from the Netherlands to the US. Traveling in Europe, from country to country of course has much more of an allure than traveling within the US, where after just one visit or two to a US city you’ve pretty much seen it all. Then there is the fact that I now travel to some of these cities so frequently for work and thus traveling for fun within the US just doesn’t cut it anymore. So, I’ve started to venture a lot more into the Caribbean and Central America. These trips are usually just a few hours away from my new hometown of Atlanta, and are thus perfect for long weekends and some R&R

One of the easiest hops to a different world I’ve made recently, is to my Southern neighbors of Mexico, a country with a long history and a rich and diverse culture, which includes the ever so mythical Mayas, the Mariachi music , (real) Tacos, Mezcal, and many other “surprises”.
