5 Ways to Explore a Destination in a Deeper Way
Richard Lindberg
Founder One Planet Journey I Evangelist for Deep Travel

🌍 Slow Down: Spend more time in one place to truly absorb the culture and your new surroundings. Slow travel, anyone?

🍲 Eat Local: Skip the tourist traps (often with bouncers and pictures of the food) and try authentic food experiences, anywhere from yummy street food to fine dining.

👩🎨 Engage with Locals: Join workshops, cultural events, or simply strike up a conversation to understand the local beat. Find suitable activities aligned with your interests.

🌿 Embrace the outdoors: Walk without a map in the city, take hikes, bike tours, or eco-friendly excursions to connect with natural landscapes and experience serenity.

🎨 Learn the History: Why not read a book before you leave, fiction, or true life, either way it gives you a deeper insight into what makes the destination tick.

What's your favourite way to explore a destination more deeply? 👇

🍹 Happy National Rum Day 🍹

To truly taste Jamaica, you’ve got to experience Rum the right way. Our Rum Club located at Sandals Dunn's River offers 24 local rums from eight Caribbean countries. 🏝️🇯🇲

ET likes the Coconut Rum in Pineapple Juice or a good splash of Dark Appleton Rum on top of his Pina Colada.

Thank you to my BDM for sharing this video.

Saint Lucia is currently under a Hurricane Watch as ‘Beryl’ approaches the region. A hurricane watch means that hurricane conditions (sustained winds of 74 mph or higher) are possible within the next 48 hours. We therefore urge everyone to stay vigilant and prioritize safety during this time, including securing property, reviewing emergency plans, and staying informed through official weather updates.

Travelers are advised to:
• Stay Informed: Continuously monitor weather forecasts for the latest updates on Hurricane Beverly.
• Contact Travel Providers: Reach out to your airlines and ferry services for updated travel schedules and potential changes due to the hurricane watch.
• Follow Official Updates: The National Emergency Management Organization (NEMO) is the official source for information and instructions. Visit their website, follow their social media channels or download the CAP.CAP app, for real-time updates.

We understand that this may cause concern and inconvenience, and we appreciate your cooperation and understanding during this period. The safety and well-being of our visitors and residents are of utmost importance.

Some medications, including CBD products, that are legal in some U.S. states are prohibited in other countries and traveling with them could result in your arrest. Always look up your destination at travel.state.gov/destination before international travel to know what you can and CANNOT bring.

05/29/2024

ALWAYS start packing with a completely empty bag. Empty out suitcase and duffle bag pockets to make sure no prohibited items are accidentally in your luggage. Some countries have very strict and specific prohibitions. Look them up before you pack at travel.state.gov/destination.
