How I Met My Favorite Dutchie and The Love of My Life <3
Let me start off by saying, I had ZERO interest in ever going out with a tourist. I was very adamant and outspoken about that decision as well. Finny was the one who had to convince me to give a tourist a shot. Little did we know that shot would start that same evening… It all started…

Living in Roatan – 6 weeks in
I have been on the island for 6 weeks now. Here is how it’s going: – People are very friendly and helpful. – There are many expats but not too many where it feels like America. Because of the number of expats, I don’t really have a need to speak Spanish. – Prices, in general,…
