Tea N' Sea Travel

About

Hi! I'm Taylor, the girl behind Tea N' Sea! 

Hi! I'm Taylor, and I'm the girl behind Tea N' Sea! I am a 26 year old Florida girl trying to explore the world and push out of my comfort zone every day and in every new place that I travel! I consider myself an adventurer, a lover of the sea, and a beach bum! 

I am a Florida native, born and raised in the historic city of St. Augustine, Florida. I am definitely blessed growing up less than 2 miles from the beach. My parents were sure to bring me outside and taught me to enjoy the ocean, the sand, the sun, to appreciate making a drip sand castle, and chasing the sandpipers on the beach as a toddler. Actually, my nickname, Piper, came from my mom because I would always chase the sandpipers on the beach! This beach-y lifestyle not only taught me a lot about appreciating the little things, but also stuck with me as I have gotten older! If there's a beach nearby, you can bet I'm going to try and find a way to sit and enjoy the warm sand, the sound of the ocean waves on the shore, and the marine life that surrounds it! I am very thankful to have grown up near the water, as it has taught me not to be afraid of the ocean and has become something that I love. A lot of my travels have been near (or on) the ocean, and I know many people aren't always super comfortable with the great big blue. 

My travels began when I was very young, when my parents brought me all around Florida for weekend trips, fishing trips, and so much more. I'm sure there's more that I don't remember from being so young, but I know it instilled a sense of wanderlust in my personality. I come from a big family, with tons of aunts, uncles, and cousins that are all over the nation, so as I got older, I was able to travel to different states for family trips! I guess you could say the travel bug has been with me since I was very young because of that!

When I first started Tea N' Sea, it was just to write about my experiences of moving away from Florida to South Carolina to Clemson University. It was an easy way that I could keep family and friends up to date with what was going on in my life without sending them each a lengthy message. Since I was creating an outlet to share my thoughts and a blog, I needed to come up with a name for it. I spent weeks on end trying to brainstorm, until I started losing hope about doing this. One day, after the thought had been out of my mind for a long time, the name hit me like a brick wall. Tea N' Sea. It was perfect. If you say Tea N' Sea out loud, it sounds like the letters TNC - which are my initials. It also signified my move from the sea (Florida) to what I deemed the "land of sweet tea." For those of you that don't know, South Carolina is said to be in the "Deep South," and anyone that is from or has visited this area can tell you that the iced tea served here is so sweet, typically containing upwards of a cup of sugar. The name was perfect. So I created the blog, which was just explaining my life at the time. As I continued on with my college career, my wanderlust never left. I took every chance that I could to go on a weekend trip, a new hike, a new town, a new restaurant - anything I could get my hands on. With these weekend trips, I found out that I loved writing about my travels and sharing places that I experienced, more than just the everyday, "lifestyle," and college type posts. 


One of the many weekend trips I took with my family as a kid!

Once I graduated from Clemson University, I was given the amazing opportunity of moving to Grenada in the Caribbean. I was moving away from everything that I had ever known, a completely new culture, new way of life, over 2000 miles away. It was scary, but I am so glad that I took the leap. Here, I was given so many experiences and travel opportunities that would not have been present if I had not taken the leap. I called Grenada my home base for about a year and a half, and in that past year and a half have been blessed with so many opportunities to see the world. I have grown this blog, with your help, love, and support, and cannot wait for the rest of our journey together! I have started checking things off of my bucket list, faced fears, and traveled across the world. My love of travel is only growing, and I can't wait to continue to share all these amazing experiences with you all!

One of the most emotional experiences I’ve ever One of the most emotional experiences I’ve ever had. I came out of the water in tears. The sounds these young males made completely runs through your core more than any concert I’ve ever been to. Looking into their eyes was like connecting with a soul much wiser than our little human souls could ever hope to be. It was a moment I’ll never forget and a moment that is likely one of the most spiritual I’ve had yet. 🐋*All activities conducted and permitted through @asso_oceania and @nani.travels#moorea #oceania #whalewatching #humpbackwhale #bucketlistadventures #frenchpolynesia #frenchpolynesianislands #adventuretravel #ecotravel #oceantravel #islandtravel #tropicaltravel #oceanvibes
Would you visit this remote tropical island that’s 600 miles from the closest land mass?? 🌊The island of Bermuda is a beautiful island located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Although sometimes considered to be a part of the Caribbean, it is in fact 900 miles north of the Caribbean Sea!This little hidden cove is just off of Horseshoe Beach, Bermuda’s famous pink sand beach. The sand glitters in the sunshine and there are little particles of pink corals, making the sand shine with a pink hue.Have you ever been to Bermuda? 🇧🇲#bermuda #islandtravel #visitbermuda #bermudatriangle #pinksandbeach #tropicaltravel #tropicalbeach #tropicaldestination #adventuretravel #ecotravel #saltyluxepresets #saltyluxe #theinfluencerbootcamp #saltyvibes #islandvibes🌴 #islandtraveler
Do you prefer summer or winter? I’ll give you on Do you prefer summer or winter? I’ll give you one guess as to what I prefer 🌴Seeing everyone’s skiing and snowboard pictures, snowy mountain tops, and cozy winter vibes are great, but I can’t help but have a longing for the sun. Winter and I aren’t the best of friends.Stick me in the heat with a palm tree to lounge on or under and I’m a happy camper. Even better if there’s a little shallow ocean water to relax in under the palm fronds. 🏝️#tropicalvibes #summervibes #islandvibe #coconutpalm #islandtravel #islanddestination #frenchpolynesia #mooreaisland #tropicaltravel #tropicalisland #tropicaldestination #beachtravel #femaletravelblogger #tropicalsoul #islandgirls #tahitibeach #mooreaisland

Never did I think I would take a group trip, but t Never did I think I would take a group trip, but this view was absolutely my favorite of 2022.💕I joined @saltyluxe and so many other amazing people on the trip of a lifetime to Mo’orea, at a time I desperately needed deep, soulful healing. Truth be told I didn’t even feel excited until I was on the flight to LAX to make the connection to French Polynesia. For 11 days I truly felt loved, cherished, and like I could be myself again after so long.Every experience on this trip was meaningful. From the planned activities like helping plant corals with the @coralgardeners learning traditional Polynesian dance, swimming with whales, and so much more, to every little interaction that was shared. I’ll never forget these amazing people and how much they touched my life. Sitting in the bottom of a yellow boat talking about life, sharing a room with someone that felt like a sister, long talks under the stars, and just so many in between moments felt like a gift from the Universe.Which brings me to this moment. This view. We had been watching the dancers perform a beautiful show with the prettiest backdrop in the world. And in one moment they all grabbed one of us to dance together. It was a moment when the world slipped away and we all shared this euphoric moment of happiness that led us to dancing into the sunset together, full of giggles and life, and also of tears to have to say goodbye to our new family. It’s a moment I will never forget.Mo’orea, you’ll always hold a special place in my heart. ❤️#moorea #mooreaisland #frenchpolynesia #saltyluxe #grouptrip #saltyluxeretreat #tropicalparadise #soultribe #travelfriends #tropicaltravel #polynesianislands #bestviewof2022
DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN SEE WATERFALLS IN THE CARIBBE DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN SEE WATERFALLS IN THE CARIBBEAN?! 💦My favorite Caribbean island of Grenada offers so much, from white sandy beaches to beautiful seas, and even numerous waterfalls! Each offer something unique, but four of my favorite waterfalls in Grenada are:
-Annandale Waterfall - perfect for a short trip from the resorts, this is one of the closest falls to the city of St. George’s and the most accessible with paved walking paths and a gorgeous garden-Concord Falls - easily accessible falls with paved stairs and a gorgeous drive up the coast. Perfect shallow swimming pool with a series of multiple falls if you want to adventure on a hike-Mt. Carmel Falls - probably my favorite of the falls, and Grenada’s tallest waterfall standing 70 feet tall!-Seven Sisters Falls - a cascade of 7 unique waterfalls, with the most popular one shown in my photo. Enjoy a tropical hike and spend the day swimming in the pool below the falls!Which waterfall sounds like one you’d like to visit?!#grenada🇬🇩 #puregrenada #grenadawaterfall #annandalefalls #sevensisterswaterfall #mtcarmelfalls #concordfalls #tropicalvibes #tropicaltravel #islandtravel #visitgrenada #caribbeantravel #adventuretravel #caribbeandestination #islanddestinations #caribbeandestination #caribbeanvacation #femaletraveler #caribbeanisland #tropicaldestination #tropicalisland
