Travel Swellness: Staying in Paradise

May 3, 2016

In January, I had the opportunity to travel to the Bahamas (my very first visit!) to Paradise Island. It was a quick two-night trip and it included running the half-marathon (so that eats up a bunch of time given it you have to get up super early, run the race, enjoy the post-race–which is by far the best finish area I’ve ever had for a race–then shower, eat and try to stay awake given the super early wake-up!) but it was worth jetting down there:

Warm, gorgeous beaches and lovely people (I had the awesome opportunity to dine at the home with a family and their friends so I got the ins and outs of what was going on, and hello, eat some incredible homemade Bahamian foods!).

My only regret of the trip was being so sleepy after the half-marathon that I didn’t have much energy to shop at the Straw Market.

More about traveling to Paradise is in my article on Vitamin Daily. And here’s my race report for the Bahamas half-marathon.

I hope to explore more of the many islands in the Bahamas very soon.  Do you have a favourite island there?
