A Caribbean paradise

Bahamas, Aruba, Hispaniola, Mexico, and Belize all in one distriKt

In this distriKt, Umut shares his favorite memories from his past beach vacations, many of which he took in the Caribbean. This distriKt is fabulous for people who can endlessly look at pictures of pale blue water, sand, and palm trees. There’s more than just the beach inside!

For anyone thinking about taking a trip or a vacation to a tropical destination, Umut gives us a distriKt full of inspiration. Do you want to go to the Bahamas? Aruba? Maybe you already have a place in mind, or maybe you aren’t sure yet…either way, this distriKt could help you make a choice.

If you know you’re traveling to a beach destination, this distriKt will surely get you pumped for your trip! Umut likes to live up to the title of “international reporter,” as he went to the Bahamas, Aruba, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Belize, and Mexico. In the Bahamas he spent time on Great Stirrup Cay, where he (hopefully) enjoyed a local beer and a delicious-looking conch salad. Depending on the beach you go to (in the Bahamas), it will either be packed or relatively open. Either way, you should be able to find the beach experience you’re looking for.

Regardless of where you want to go for you beach trip, you can swim with the fishes when you get there. Grab a snorkel and get moving! Life in the ocean doesn’t wait for us, we have to go out and see it for ourselves! Umut recommends snorkeling wherever you go. It can be quite fascinating, as the ocean is an entirely different world than the land. See what the fish see and how they see it!

That breeze feels good…just about as good as Umut’s distriKt!
