Travel Medicine | Therapy + Mental Health Retreat

 I realized...

touching down, when the wheels hit the pavement safely + the pilot turns off the Fasten Seat Belt sign, then and only then do I feel a sigh of relief. "I made it back to Land!", I think to myself. 

The rest.... well--*SIGH* That feeling of being a foreigner in my humble abode. I couldn't shake it.

Besides my seeing Mother loving face, I can't shake the anxiety of knowing that society carries a prize on my head, waiting to be swiped by Uncle Sam at any given moment, side-eyed or question for my motives in life...the rush and sense of urgency of knowing that time is ticking and my Free Creative + Butterfly Life will soon be out of season all because of my Age. 

Can you believe that? Says, who.

Remember Millennials do it differently.

As fate would have it, I lost my vehicle to a car accident back in the Fall of 2021. It also happened to be the 3rd time, I was moving in a Year, during the Pandemic. I decided to take things for what they were -- and seize the opportunity to forgo my stress of acquiring things and just go do what I love. 

Travel. Research. Renew. Rebuild. And so, I did. 

After a Wellness Experience in the Spice Island of Grenada in January, I planned/coordinated a wedding in Malindi, Kenya in February. By March, I bolted to Port of Spain, Trinidad to spend time with Loved Ones + Friends.

Just the thought of being in a different physical space puts me in a different head + heart space. One, where I am unrecognized and even admired or gaped at because of my foreign status. It's refreshing.

It's Liberating. And during this time of a Mental Health Asylum, I intend to fully enjoy the Adventurous + at times Ignorantly Blissful Expat Life.

    Swedish massage of best bar in makati is primarily trained in private schools in Sweden and for some schools there is external quality assurance through national exams. Still there are differences in how the massage is performed. There is no detailed standardization in Sweden on how massage should be.

DELTA. & the Future is Female

Trust me Friends. Who you choose to give your business to for travel makes all the difference. It was my first time flying Delta First Class--my travel partner Krystal managed to hook me when she showed me how the airlines was going to great lengths to create space between passengers on flight. The middle seats were completely blocked off and even better we were in-flight with some of the best Customer Service I've had yet. The attentiveness, sincerity and kind tone in flight attendants voice makes one enjoy and relax. Read more about it here:  What Delta does... On the way there we sat in front of a newly wedded couple. They could've been headed to St. John, one out of the 3 islands in the U.S. Virgin Islands that was known as the "the love location" for its scenic view, lushes waters and array of resort hotels built on the land.  The flight was smooth, from an early morning departure in Baltimore--a quick leg in Atlanta and then touching down in St. John. There'...
