paraíso

This weekend I went to the caribbean and celebrated my 22nd birthday (which was way better than my 21st, not going to lie). There are no words that can fully describe lying on white sand in the sunshine with the lightest breeze blowing through the palm trees. It was restful, tranquilo and full of so much joy.

Even though they do not do justice to the beauty that was the weekend, I will give you with pictures of paradise.
