When I was in my teens, my father used to take my family on sailing trips around the Caribbean. We would hop from island to island and I always had a blast jumping off the bow and driving the dinghy around, but never truly appreciated it or really had any understanding where I was. I look back at it and wish I had paid more attention and cherished it more. He always hoped I would show interest in sailing, but instead all I wanted was a speedboat. Now that I’m older, I see what he sees in sailing. These trips must have made an impact somewhere since now I’m in love with the island St. Maarten|St. Martin and I watch the sailboats pass by with a desire to be out there. It’s never too late, and maybe one day I’ll be have my own boat and I’ll take him out to go explore the surrounding islands. But for now, I will just awkwardly fly behind them with my drone taking photos and wishing to be out on that bow again feeling the sea breeze on my face. And to the people on this boat, I hope I didn’t annoy you for the brief moment in time while I’m sure you heard me buzzing. I appreciate you tolerating the annoyance I provided in order to get this shot.

Everyone always loves whatching the planes land in St. Maarten, but let's not forget how amazing it is to watch them take off, too. The runway is so close to the road from all sides. You can get an idea of just how powerful the engines are to get tthem off the ground. It's an experience like no other. I have experienced this so many times and yet, it's always fun and exciting. Although, knowing how many people are on the planes and having to go back to reality does make it bitter sweet. I've got 11 days until I have that feeling. Better live this last week and a half up!

Cheers to a Sunday in St. Martin spent relaxing and gearing up for another busy work week. What’s your favorite spot to spend a day off?

This 3 bedroom home in Terres Basses, St. Martin is called Joie de Vivre and is built like a palace. It has 4 levels with a private walkway out onto the beach. I loved the time I spent here, playing music all over the villa and feeling like a King. It’s sure going to make my NYC apartment feel small when I head back home.

There is nothing better than a St. Maarten sunset. No matter where you are on the island, you will see every color light up the sky.

Sorry, @jennga14 , I found my new island lady to keep me company after you leave tomorrow. We fell in love at first sniff and it’s the only girl I have eyes for now. @cestwoof is the cutest island frenchie and you should all follow her to see her adventures while exploring the island of St. Martin. . . . #frenchie #frenchiesofig #islandfrenchie #sxm #frenchbulldog #frenchiesofinstagram #stmaarten #islanddogs #sintmaarten
