Mermaid Essays: for dreamers, by dreamers

Welcome to Mermaid Essays, where we get to indulge in next level island obsession (yes, we meaning – you too).

Traveling inspires us to dream and do. There’s something so magical about waking up in a place you’ve always dreamed of visiting.

While travel has different meaning depending on who you ask, travel inspires us to explore. It indulges our curiosities and continuous need to learn even more about the world around us. Travel challenges us and inspires us to dream. Our lives wouldn’t be the same without it.

Traveling can feel like an endless list of wanderlust. Does one ever run out of places to discover?

In the words of Susan Sontag, “I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list.”

Ok, we have a confession. Islands are our favorite destinations to explore. The hidden ones, the remote ones, the ones that take you off into another world. The ones that transport you into a storybook with their own way of living and style of doing things.

There are so many misconceptions about travel, in particular when it comes to islands. It’s too expensive, it’s too far, there’s nothing to do but sit on the beach. We’re here to shatter all of those myths, while adding some new places to your travel list.

Let’s dive in.

“I must be a mermaid. I have no fear of depths and a great fear of shallow living.”
