#TheParList: Jakīya The Traveling Fro

The Par List, our ode to the ones who travel unapologetically, for the spirit, or for a living. Each week we share with you our faves and why they made the list. Ultimately, these are people we think we could par and travel with - so we vehemently follow them everywhere!

First up: Jakīya The Traveling Fro

3 countries in the past week, and this is exactly how I feel. I am loving every moment of it. • Once your dream is being realized it's hard to know what to do next, you're finally here, now what? Well first let's start with wine and taking in the gorgeous scenery. It's about the ride not the destination 🍷 🇮🇹. Follow more of my European adventures on IG stories ✨. || #travelingfro #journeywithjakiya

I loved the travelingfro Instagram feed at first sight. What caught my eye is that it wasn't a collage of well known monuments. Jakīya gets local! The regions she's covering on thetravelingfro.com at the time of this writing are the US, South America, Europe, and quite pleasingly the Caribbean.

What we loved from the blog

10 things you must eat (& drink) in Charleston, SC that are to DIE for - loving those vegan options!

When in Rome: 3 Day Guide for First Timers - Rome is always a good idea!

Where to go in New Orleans, besides the French Quarters - off that beaten track.

Our faves from the gram

1. Carving paths in Cuba!

Sorry for my five day hiatus but I'm back and I assure you it was totally worth it! Cuba was so magical ✨ I am already plotting next my trip back. No wifi, no problem. It allowed me to disconnect and really enjoy. So, I have so much content, tips and recos to share with you guys this week. If you are planning to go explore Cuba soon, don't fret. I GOT YOU! • Now before I go HAM on the ins and outs of Cuba and how to manage your dinero wisely and avoid tourist traps, tell me; what do you want to see, hear or know about this crazy unique, culture rich country? I'm sure I will have it covered! • Stay tuned for much more. Now excuse me while I smoke my Cuban 🚬. || #travelingfro 📷: The one and only @vincejamael

I don't know where I'm going next, but what I do know is that I'm going... and that it's going to be great. || #travelingfro

3. It's who you go with! Choose your travel 'parri' well.

Travel is my passion. It's life, love, knowledge, energy, growth and so much more. But those moments when I get to share that passion with you, I am on top of the world, unbothered, content, fulfilled. This is what I feel everyday with you. Thank you for being my squad, partner, lover, friend, photographer 😄, motivator, inspiration and so much more! Love you @vincejamael time to take over the 🌍💕 Who is your travel person? tag someone you can't imagine traveling without. || #travelingfro
