With so many beautiful photos taken in 2013 (upwards of 25,000+), I just had to share more of my favourites. These shots were taken between January and April 2013 when we travelled through Bahamas, Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Puerto Rico and The Caribbean.
The natural beauty found in this region is second to none. My idlyic holiday involves a tropical beach and these were in abundance. But digging deeper we immersed ourselves in the rich history of these incredible cultures. I've always been facinated by ancient history and visiting Chichen Itza was one of my childhood dreams come true. I'll never forget that.
The people, places and also food of this region will forever be etched in my mind. You can not visit Central America without being forever changed.
