Finding color in a Fort-de-France, the capital city of Martinique, where you can get lost in markets selling highly rated local rum, traditional bakoua straw hats, and Coiffes Créoles (headdresses) in madras fabrics that can communicate whether a woman is taken, available or some combo of both.

If you really want to see Martinique and all that it has to offer, it’s best to rent a car, which you can do for €30 a day ($34). If you don’t do that and instead opt to walk along a coastline (🙋🏽‍♀️), you’ll move from one beach to the next, maybe find hidden beachfront restaurants that appear like an oasis when the sun starts to work you after all that walking, and hopefully remember that the beauty of travel is often found in unexpected discoveries 💕

Here’s to the women: To the women charting their own paths in this world. Who feel more defined by the places they’ve been than a ring on their left finger. Who aren’t afraid to travel solo. Or who are and do it anyway to embrace the growth. Who know their worth and accept nothing less than respect for it. Who are independent, beautiful, strong fighters living their best lives or working to get there. Who deserve praise on this day and every day.
