Traveling in 2020
French Polynesian Adventures

January 6, 2021

Dear Stellargirls,

My wanderlust was ready to overflow by the end of this year…

Taking a trip, a vacation, a holiday as us Canadians say is not as scary as it has recently been made out to be. You follow the regulations of the country in which you are traveling to. You adhere to their guidelines; get a Covid test 72 hours before you board your flight; wear a mask in the airport and on the airplanes; and in our case, we were tested 4 days after we arrived in French Polynesia. There is extensive paperwork to be filled out with their government prior to boarding the flight, sharing all your interisland travel, your accommodations, transfers and even some expedition details, but it was all worth it.  I want to be sensitive to those who cannot travel during this time but also let you know that it was not irresponsible. If countries are welcoming tourists, they are opening their economy. The restaurants, local tour guides, small resorts all need to be supported and I am grateful for every moment and experience.

Waking up after 22 hours of travel, the French Polynesia surpassed any photo I saw online. To see the crystal-clear water, endless miles of white sand, the baby blue lagoon with knee deep water extending for miles until the reef breaks into the dark blue deep ocean was breath taking. The locals were so welcoming and knowledgeable. They shared the land’s history, the precious stories of the wildlife, environmental preservations of the tropical birds, flowers, plants, bread fruit, and the mini pineapple plantations were remarkable. The conservation and respect they possessed for every motu (there are 118 islands in the FP) was extraordinary.  Bora Bora, Moreea, Tahiti and the private islands were all beyond stunning. I can’t say which day or evening was better than the next.

Jumping into the unspoiled water from the bungalow, lounging in hammocks, hovering in the sand, snorkeling with the most beautiful fish, going deeper to swim with the sharks, kayaking in the lagoons, taking an ATV through the hills and mountains, holding stingrays, eating fresh caught fish every evening and speaking their native French language couldn’t have been a more perfect getaway.

 

Stay safe, be brave!

Take a Microvacation
Sometimes a few days might be all you have, and all you need!

November 10, 2020
Dear Stellargirls,
Totally take a microvacation. You will be surprised how much you can do with 48-72 hours. Many of us can’t take off work or get away without the kids for a longer period of time, but with a mini-vaca, you can rejuvenate and escape! Choose your next one as soon as you get home so you have something to look forward to in the upcoming weeks or months.
Rent a lake house on Air B&B, take a flight to see your favorite band play, or drive a few hours to watch your favorite sports team play. Stellargirls make memories so don’t forget to print your favorite photo and put it in a frame. It will remind you to make plans for you next blissful adventure!
I recently went to Bermuda for 60 hours. One day was sunshine, exploring, and walking miles of spectacular pink sand beaches and one day was renting a scooter to see the entire island! I even swam in the secluded hidden gem inside the Cathedral Crystal Caves.
The Bermudian residents were incredibly charming and the farm to table cuisine is beyond amazing!
Love,

Dear Stellargirls
Travel is a big part of my life and through Stellargirl we all have the opportunity to share those experiences with each other as we explore new cities and countries! I believe travel is truly a great unifier; an act that allows us to take on new views and perspectives. I want to see the cultural meccas in the world’s greatest cities, view local styles and fashions, jump into a waterfall in the middle of the rainforest in Australia, dive the Great Barrier Reef, take a sand buggy into the rolling hills in the hot desert in Dubai, and stroll through the markets in Marrakech in search of a rare, silken fabric.

Dear Stellargirls,

Travel is a big part of my life and through Stellargirl we all have the opportunity to share those experiences with each other as we explore new cities and countries! I believe travel is truly a great unifier; an act that allows us to take on new views and perspectives. I want to see the cultural meccas in the world’s greatest cities, view local styles and fashions, jump into a waterfall in the middle of the rainforest in Australia, dive the Great Barrier Reef, take a sand buggy into the rolling hills in the hot desert in Dubai, and stroll through the markets in Marrakech in search of a rare, silken fabric.

These grand moments are the stories that we’ll never forget, but all the little memories are just as meaningful as a part of our travels. I’ve been terrified in a leaking boat as we traversed the packed waterways of Thailand in search of the perfect wooden bowls and the authentic kimono that was given to me in Hong Kong are enviable pieces from my travels that influence my style and fill my closet and home. I’ll forever remember skiing the slopes in Whistler, BC with my family, walking the beaches in Mallorca Spain, the black sand in Tenerife, strolling the endless cobblestone streets in Paris, walking the Red Light district in Amsterdam, exploring the dozens of  hidden beaches Ibiza, climbing the steps in Gaudí’s Surrealist Park in Barcelona, wandering into a pub in Dublin and hearing the best Bon Jovi cover band ever, gingerly climbing on the back of a rickshaw in the scooter littered streets of Vietnam, or wrapping my body, head and face and being totally awe inspired by the mosques in Abu Dhabi. Simply ALL incredible! ALL forever ingrained in my mind! And ALL blessed in my heart!

Love,

Teri
