Happy happy Valentine’s Day! If you have someon Happy happy Valentine’s Day! If you have someone to a share this day of love with, wonderful! If you are spending it alone, how can you show yourself love? The most important person to love is yourself. I am so thankful to have a man in my life that makes me feel loved every day. It’s not “perfect” but boy is it everything I could’ve hoped for. So here’s to love. To loving yourself, accepting yourself, so sharing that love with a partner, a family member, a friend, an animal, a stranger. Thank you all for letting me inspire you, share some positivity, some reality, some happiness, and adventure. And the biggest thank you babe for sharing this big adventure we call life with me. For lifting me up when I fall. For encouraging me. For leading me, and for following me. For teaching me and talking to me. For putting up with me asking for pictures. For the quiet sunsets and the busy mornings. Thank you for sharing your love and building this life together. I love you ❤️ #teansea • • • 📸 @steviejogroh • #theinfluencerbootcamp #valentinesday2020 #followmeto #bahamas🇧🇸 #eleuthera #spelunking #adventuretraveler #sailingcouple #mtlove18 #pinktrotters #travelgirlsgo #travelingladies #nikontravel #nikond5100 #tropicaltravel #tropicalinspiration #adventurers #worlderlust #wanderlusting #wanderlusts #bucketlistadventures #bucketlisttravel #caveexploring #aggielook #gltlove #travelerography #beautifuldestinations #bahamas #travelblogger
Hi! Long time no see! Last time I checked in, we w Hi! Long time no see! Last time I checked in, we were still in Bimini and had just completed a shark cage dive! Since then we have left Bimini and have been cruising the Bahamas. I’ve spent a lot of time being inspired by my surroundings but have enjoyed being disconnected from social media. Since we left Bimini, we’ve sailed to Nassau, Spanish Wells, Eleuthera, and have just made it to the Exumas! The Exumas is packed with tons of islands and lots to do, so I may stay somewhat disconnected for a while. (Don’t worry, I’ll still post stories from these times!) It’s been nice enjoying being inspired by the environment around us instead of scrolling Instagram for once. I have seen so much beauty, met some awesome people, been brave and chickened out, gotten much better at my ukulele, and even started painting with watercolors! Photography remains a passion that I take with me, but it’s been nice growing these other hobbies that always seem to be put in the back burner. • This photo is from the Bimini Nature Trail, about a mile long on the island of South Bimini. It can be a bit overgrown in some parts, but is a fun hike to do for a little while! Many blogs I’ve read say you need a guide, but Steve and I were able to walk the trail no problem unassisted - so don’t feel like you have to have a guide! All you need are some sunglasses and bug spray! 🌴 #teansea • • • 📸 @steviejogroh • #bimini #bimininaturetrail #biminibahamas #bahamas🇧🇸 #Bahamas #islandlife #islandtravel #tropicaltravel #tropicalforest #tropicalinspiration #naturalbahamas #theinfluencerbootcamp #pinktrotters #travelgirlsgo #travelerography #beautifuldestinations #adventuretravels #worlderlust #tropicalwander #tropicalisland #sailingadventure #liveaboardlife #cruisinglife #gltlove #dametravelers #islandtime #islandlife🌴 #travelbloggervibes #travelblogger
Bucket list: cage diving with sharks! 🦈✅ Woul Bucket list: cage diving with sharks! 🦈✅ Would you try it?? Imagine being in a cage surrounded by bull sharks, known to be one of the most aggressive species in the ocean. You can see how fast they change directions and swim, how powerful their bites are, and look right into their eyes. It’s pretty amazing. @biminiscubacenter offers this bull shark cage diving experience right off the docks at the marina! It’s super reasonably priced and they don’t charge you until after the dive (in case sharks don’t come around). Not only that, but you don’t even have to be scuba certified! It was a bucket list item for me, and I’m SO glad we found a spot to do it while in Bimini! What’s even cooler about diving with sharks is that the Bahamas has realized the value of sharks, not for their fins, but for tourism. What a few fins of a family of sharks brings in (roughly $50), doesn’t even come close to the value of one shark alive does ($13,000 per year!). Because of this, sharks are protected in the Bahamas, which is a HUGE step in the right direction for the protection of our oceans! 🦈🌊 #teansea • • • • #gopro #goprosession #underwaterphotography #bucketlistitem #cagediving #sharkcagediving #bullshark #girlswhoscuba #adventuretraveling #bucketlist #wanderlusting #worlderlust #gltlove #theinfluencerbootcamp #aggielook #pinktrotters #travelgirlsgo #travelerography #bimini #biminibahamas #bahamas #tropicalinspiration #tropicalisland #beautifuldestinations #femaletravelblogger #travelbloggers #bucketlisttravel #adventurers #femmetravel
Guess what. Travel doesn’t always go as planned. Guess what. Travel doesn’t always go as planned. We’re back in Bimini again after an attempt to cross East towards the Exumas was put to a stop from a bout of food poisoning. We had one day to shoot the gap because of strong East winds, and now we’ve gotta ride them out in Bimini for a few days. But that’s the thing about travel, especially by boat. You can’t always predict what will be thrown at you. Because of this setback, I not only learned how to care for a sick partner, but captained us 4 hours back to Bimini. I even caught a fish! (Barracuda so be was thrown back but a fish nonetheless!) And now we’re both sick, at least the weather is yucky enough out to force us to rest for a while. Hopefully we’ll be in the Exumas in a couple days, once this wind subsides and we’re all better. Until then, I’m thankful for a lazy day, a safe anchorage, and one of the friendliest islands I’ve visited so far! 🇧🇸 #teansea • • • 📸 @steviejogroh • #bimini #biminibahamas #bahamas #tropicaltravel #travelbahamas #islandtravel #sailingadventure #travelblogger #femaletravelblogger #dametraveler #aggielook #travelblogging #boatbabe #malibusun #islandlife #pinktrotters #travelling #instatravelgram #tropicalisland #bahamas🇧🇸 #2kfollowers #under10k #discoveryunder10k #under5k #slowtravel #adventurenthusiasts #wanderlust_tribe #worlderlust #wanderlusters
Well, were held up here in Bimini because of stron Well, were held up here in Bimini because of strong eastern winds. We hoped to cross over to the Barry Islands this week but it looks like we’ll be staying put for a little bit longer. Can’t sail directly into the wind. In the meantime, we’re exploring Bimini, both the north and south islands. I’ve found more sea glass than I know what to do with, we’ve met some really friendly people, and we’ve been enjoying the warm (albeit windy) weather. Not a bad place to be stuck for now, but we’re both excited to keep moving East! 🌊 #teansea • • • 📸 @steviejogroh • #theinfluencerbootcamp #bimini #biminiisland #biminibahamas #bahamas #bahamasbeaches #instatravelgram #travelgrammer #femmetravel #travelgirlsgo #pinktrotters #gltlove #tropicaltraveling #tropicaldestination #dametravel #womentravelers #femaletravelers #aggielook #travelerography #travelcommunity #girlsvsglobe #ladiestravelgram #mtlove18 #sailingtravel #worlderlusters #wanderlusting #wanderers #femaletravelbloggers #tropicaltraveling
Hello Bahamas! We made it to Bimini, the closest i Hello Bahamas! We made it to Bimini, the closest island to Florida, a mere 50 miles from Key Biscayne off of Miami. 50 miles in a car would take you an hour or so. In a plane? Minutes. On a sailboat, it took us 10 hours. We left key Biscayne at 0200 hours (2 AM) and arrived safely to warm sunshine and the bluest water I’ve ever seen in my life 😍 Bimini is one of the islands with a customs and immigration office that you can check into once you arrive. Unlike traveling by plane, you are not allowed to check yourself in, or even get off the boat until you’ve cleared through customs. Only the captain is allowed! Once we were all cleared through, we anchored for the night to stay out of the way of some strong north winds, and finally got to explore yesterday! We were walking to get some conch salad (the best I’ve ever had) and decided to take a little detour on a side road, and we found this gorgeous beach with a big welcome painted on this fallen tree! Welcome to the Bahamas with us everyone! 🇧🇸 #teansea • • • 📸 @steviejogroh • #theinfluencerbootcamp #mtlove18 #pinktrotters #welcometobimini #bimini #biminibahamas #bahamas🇧🇸 #sailinglife #travelgirlshub #travelgirlsgo #sailingtravel #tropicalvibes #tropicaltravel #bahamasbound #sailboatlife #liveaboard #womentravelers #womentravel #femaletraveler #femaletravel #dametraveler #slowtravel #femaletravelers #instatravels #instatraveller #travelista #explorethebahamas #exploretheoutdoors #sabbaticallife
Today we sailed across to the Bahamas! Heading off Today we sailed across to the Bahamas! Heading offshore means we have the sails up and the metal jewelry comes off. Not only have I lost enough overboard before (goodbye sunglasses), but it’s not really safe pulling lines with the risk of a ring getting caught. Thankfully, I’ve partnered with @ensorings to still be able to wear rings without worrying about my fingers. They’re silicone and have tons of adorable styles, my favorites are their stackable collections and elements rings! Even better, we’re partners to be a #forceforgood because every time you wear your rings, you’re reminded to have a positive impact on the world AND they donate a portion of proceeds of every purchase to tons of organizations around the world! Not only do I feel safe wearing my rings while sailing, but I feel good about wearing something that has a positive impact in the world! If you want your own beautiful rings for all your adventures, check out the link in my bio to purchase some of your own, and use TEANSEATRAVEL20 for a nice discount! #ensorings • • • • #teansea #sailinglife #spinnaker #theinfluencerbootcamp #womentravel #femaletraveler #girlsthattravel #travelgirlsgo #travelgirlshub #pinktrotters #sailingadventure #sailingphotography #instatraveller #gltlove #wanderontravelcommunity #adventuretravels #adventurers #oceantravel #siliconerings #femmetravel #dametraveler #damestravel #travelmoreworryless #sailinggirls #globelletravels #wanderlusters #travelerography
Dear 2019, Thanks for all the memories. You were Dear 2019, Thanks for all the memories. You were a year of growth, a year of transition. You put me through highs and lows. My first time living back in my hometown since leaving for college in 2013. The first year I haven’t been out of the country in over 6 years (probably more). I explored some corners of the country that I haven’t been to, and some more familiar places. I saw the ponies run at historic Saratoga Race track, I visited Miami, Orlando, Seven Sisters Springs, and many other places in Florida. I visited Chicago for the first time. I sailed a boat over 800 miles, and started on another sailing trip. I grew in my sailing skills. I found love. I landed two jobs, one which was a dream job. I quit two jobs, one of which was a dream job. I started a new project with my partner, and learned more about blogging. More importantly, I learned about myself. I learned that the material belongings I’ve held on to for so long “just in case” are just that - things. I’ve cut my belongings in half, and boy did that feel good. I learned patience and to not be so quick to jump to conclusions. I learned that quality time with myself and a good book can be just as good as a big night out. I woke up earlier, I cooked more meals, I started journaling, I read more books. Looking back at 2019, I can’t say it was the most exciting year of my life, but it was a memorable one. It’s made me have deeper thoughts, deeper connection with others, and a deeper understanding of the world around us. 2019 definitely was a year of transitions and changes, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. So here’s to 2020, a new decade of adventure, a new decade to do something new. A new decade to explore who you are. A new decade of celebration and peace. Thank you 2019 for the memories, 2020 I can’t wait for this new beginning 🎇 #teansea
Finally in south Florida as we make our way to the Finally in south Florida as we make our way to the Bahamas! Definitely happy for the warmer weather but the intracoastal has been an absolute madhouse! We’ll spend a couple days in South Florida before we cross over to Bimini, and will spend the New Year near Miami! This pic was taken on our trip down to Fort Meyers on SV Penny, and was the first day we had the chance to explore land after crossing from the panhandle to St. Petersburg! Can’t wait to get the chance to explore the East Coast of South Florida soon! 🌴 #teansea • • • 📸 @steviejogroh • #theinfluencerbootcamp #theigbootcamp #mtlove18 #travelsouthflorida #visitsouthflorida #visitflorida #floridablogger #gulfportflorida #stpetebeach #stpetersburgflorida #tampabayarea #exploreflorida #femaletravelbloggers #femaletraveler #femaletraveler #girlsthatwander #wanderingsoul #sailingadventure #wanderontravelcommunity #bestcommunitytravel #femaletravelcommunity #gltlove #pinktrotters #aggielook #womentravelers #travelgirlsgo #travelinglady #instatraveler #instatravelgram
And we’re off! Yesterday was day 1 heading South And we’re off! Yesterday was day 1 heading South towards the Bahamas! We’re back onboard our regular boat and it’s amazing how much more it feels like home than Penny (the one in the pic) did. We’ve got our two kitties with us and we’re cruising down the East Coast of Florida, to then make a straight shot east for the Bahamas. So far we’ve had smooth sailing, with the exception of trying to get offshore at Ponce Inlet - known for being one of the country’s best surf spots - we faced some big waves that would’ve made sailing offshore uncomfortable. After one seasick kitty, we made it back to the intracoastal. We’re about halfway down the state now, with early mornings and warmer weather as we continue south. Im excited to be on this journey and for all the adventures we have ahead! ⚓️ #teansea • • • 📸 @steviejogroh • #girlsthatsail #sailinggirls #theinfluencerbootcamp #theigbootcamp #mtlove18 #departure35 #sailingadventure #womenthattravel #femaletravelbloggers #femaletravel #travelgirlshub #pinktrotters #travelgirlsgo #travelgirldiary #gltlove #wandergirl #adventuretraveler #oceantravel #exploremoretoday #travelblogging #visitflorida #outdoortravel #southbound #bahamasbound #tropicaltravel #floridablogger #sailinglife #sailboatlife #aggielook
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you! So happ Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you! So happy to be celebrating with my family before Steve and I embark on this new exciting journey to the Bahamas! 🌴 • As a travel note, did you know St. Augustine is known as one of the best places to see Christmas lights? All of downtown has to have white lights, so it’s all super magical! Even better, theres one red bulb hidden amongst the lights, kind of a scavenger hunt to find! • Also LOVING this edit with @aggiepresets free Christmas preset! #aggielook • • • #teansea #staugustineflorida #staugustine #nightsoflights #northflorida #floridachristmas #tinimartini #christmasevebaby #visitflorida #happyholidays2019 #travelflorida #floridatravel #femaletravelbloggers #pinktrotters #travelgirlsgo #gltlove #wanderontravelcommunity #bestcommunitytravel #womentravelers #womentravel #wanderlust_tribe #thetraveltribe #theinfluencerbootcamp #mtlove18 #localtravel #girlsthattravel #travelgirlshub #travelgirls #wanderers
I’ve got some super exciting news!!! • We’ve I’ve got some super exciting news!!! • We’ve been super busy provisioning and getting our boat ready for our trip down to the Bahamas, and have found ourselves in the marina waiting for a weather window to open up after Christmas. In the meantime, we’ve started a new project that I want to share with you all! It’s called @recycledsailing and we are hoping to educate people on the harms of plastic pollution in the ocean. Not only that, but we are collecting trash off the beach and out of the ocean in an attempt to create something useful out of it! We’ve already experimented with some of the loot we found yesterday, and are taking notes to improve for the future! • We’re also keeping track of the amount of plastic that we collect, and in just a few hours we collected four pounds of plastic! We are so excited that we are finally getting this project off the ground and running, and I would love for you to join us! • If you’re passionate about sailing, the ocean, sustainability, or being more eco-friendly, head over to our new page and join our journey! (Don’t worry, I’ll still be posting our sailing journey here!) ⛵️ #teansea #recycledsailing • • • 📸 @advanced.selfie #advancedselfie • #theinfluencerbootcamp #mtlove18 #sailingadventure #travelcouplelife #visitflorida #adventuretravels #exploremore #girlsthatwander #travelgirlsgo #sustainabletravel #ecotraveller #greentravel #womentravel #femaletravelbloggers #bestcommunitytravel #wanderers #wanderlusts #oceantravel #travelgram #instatravelgram #instatravellers #travelcapture #ecotraveller #passionproject #plasticfree #pinktrotters #gltlove
It’s amazing how small the world can make you fe It’s amazing how small the world can make you feel if you sit back and look at everything around us. From standing under a simple palm tree that towers as high as a building to being so far out in the ocean that you can’t see land for hundreds of miles, nature never ceases to amaze me. I’ve had lots of time thinking about the earth and how perfect everything exists together in harmony, and how we need to strive to protect it. From cutting single use plastics to reef safe sunscreen, planting a tree and shopping local, every little difference can help protect our little sliver of the universe that we call home! What are ways that you strive to be a little more eco friendly every day?! 🌎 #teansea • • • 📸 @steviejogroh • #theinfluencerbootcamp #mtlove18 #florida_greatshots #visitflorida #ecotravel #ecotraveller #sustainabletravel #floridatravel #womentravelers #femaletravelbloggers #femaletravel #femaletraveler #dametraveler #pinktrotters #travelgirlsgo #travelgirlshub #travelgirldiary #travelerography #naturalflorida #floridastateparks #tropicaltravel #nomadiclifestyle #bestcommunitytravel #travelgrammer #instatravelers #aggielook #travelmoreoften #ladieswhotravel #travelingladies
Hi there! Here’s a bit of an update from Sailing Hi there! Here’s a bit of an update from Sailing Vessel Penny! If you haven’t been keeping up with my stories, I’ve been traveling by boat on this 35 ft sailboat, starting in a little town in Alabama, all the way down to St. Petersburg, Florida- where we are now! We’ve done and seen a lot in our two weeks onboard so far: one birthday (Hello 25 🎉), one bay, one Thanksgiving, one intracoastal, one lost pair of sunglasses, one Gulf of Mexico, 6 Bald Eagles, 14 sunsets, 14 sunrises, 20 hours straight offshore, somewhere around 100 dolphins, and 640 nautical miles traveled. Feeling so lucky to experience an adventure like this, and we’re still not done! I can’t wait to continue sharing this journey with you, and am even more excited for the coming months! Definitely ringing in 25 and adding the year (and the decade, what?!) in a way that makes my heart feel so full ❤️ #teansea • • • 📸 @steviejogroh • #worlderlusters #sailing #theinfluencerbootcamp #mtlove18 #sailing⛵️ #sailingcouple #gulfofmexico #sailboatlife #liveaboard #overnightpassage #girlslovetravel #gltlove #travelgirlsgo #travelerography #oceansunset #travelbloggerlife #travelerlife #adventurers #sailing_feature #nicholaschristopher #floridablogger #visitflorida #floridatravel #floridalifestyle #bestcommunitytravel #pinktrotters #dametraveler #sailingflorida #instatravelblog
