Puerto Rico Has My Heart🇵🇷❤️

One of my favorite things to do is travel.

I traveled to Puerto Rico for the first time last year for my birthday when my fiancé (then my boyfriend) decided he wanted to put up with my last minute and indecisive shenanigans. It was one of the best trips I’ve had in a long time. We stayed in a regular Marriott hotel, took taxis and walked where we needed to go, stayed away from the resorts, and tried local restaurants. I thought it was so cool that our room was 412 when we are from 412. We felt very safe where we stayed there especially as Travelers just wandering.

We stayed in Miramar but, who would’ve thought I would’ve had the best Mexican food of my life in Puerto Rico?! Everything about my experience in Puerto Rico was great from chopping it up with the taxi drivers, walking all over old San Juan at night, trying to find food, to walking to the beach and listening to the ocean for hours. I truly cannot wait until I get a chance to go back.
