As I leave “la Isla del encanto” Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 while the beautiful boriquas are going through this crisis to replace their governor with leadership who represents them and steers the island back to prosperity and stability - I can’t wait to go back! ⁣⁣⁣
⁣
I’ve been to PR consistently over the years. Each time staying in a different town and ventured around. ⁣This recent #trip, I stayed on the west coast, at the popular laidback #surfing town of #Ricon.⁣It was nice to get reacquainted with the the towns along the coast from #Isabela to #Ponce. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
One of the best ways to #help the people of the #island is to be a consumer and #support local businesses. I had 2 Airbnb hosts, rented a car, visited 7 towns, a legendary rum #distillery, drank at 4  #bars, ate at 6 #restaurants, swam at 3 #beaches, danced at 1 nightclub, visited a world-class museum of #art and met a cool chef. There were many incidentals along the way as well - I had a great time and I hope helped at the same time. The economy of ⁣most islands depend on tourism. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣
I know #PR well, from the beaches up into the mountains. I’ve met many people that I call friends and family. Which is why I go back, the beautiful, friendly people of #PuertoRico - they deserve better! ⁣⁣⁣
