After snorkeling to see the 3rd largest barrier reef in the world, watching as the boat stopped at one of the most infamous tourist attractions, Noah’s Ark. (Carlee Hicks)

Later in the day, I finished my schoolwork on my balcony, hearing the sounds of the waves in the background.

Laying in the hammock on a sunny day, it swung in the wind beside the ocean. (Carlee Hicks)

In the morning, the dock was covered in giant conch shells the fishermen brought back from their expeditions. (Carlee Hicks)

Walking down the beach, one would notice the many activities the resort offered like surfboarding, water cycling, scuba diving, and paddle boarding.

As the trip came to a close, the pool glistened in the light when walking back to my room, saying goodbye to Turks and Caicos. (Carlee Hicks)
