The depth of its history and the way it seamlessly integrates into daily life. There’s a profound connection to heritage that resonates in every conversation, meal, and tradition.
What was the hero piece in your suitcase for this trip?
Definitely my SPF sunscreen! Jamaica’s UV rays were stronger than I expected, so I’m glad I brought my favorite SPF to stay protected throughout the trip.
What’s your all-time favorite travel memory?
Traveling to Bali with my friends as students. We were young, full of energy, and eager to explore. The blend of nature, culture, and adventure in Bali perfectly matched our youthful enthusiasm.

A hydrating sunscreen, a nourishing lip balm, a refreshing facial mist, a beachy-texture hair spray, and a lightweight moisturizer to keep my skin glowing in the heat.
