The initial plan was to try to go to Florida. There&#8217;s a ton of things to do there between Disney World and all of the other theme parks. After doing some research, we soon realized staying in Florida would be almost impossible; so many college students must try to go there during the Spring Break season.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20262 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.therockysafari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/aruba_beachfront_iuliianufrychenkova_123rf1280-1024x611.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"705\" height=\"421\" srcset=\"\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1024,height=611,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/aruba_beachfront_iuliianufrychenkova_123rf1280.jpg 1024w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=300,height=179,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/aruba_beachfront_iuliianufrychenkova_123rf1280.jpg 300w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=768,height=458,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/aruba_beachfront_iuliianufrychenkova_123rf1280.jpg 768w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=284,height=170,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/aruba_beachfront_iuliianufrychenkova_123rf1280.jpg 284w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=290,height=173,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/aruba_beachfront_iuliianufrychenkova_123rf1280.jpg 290w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=407,height=243,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/aruba_beachfront_iuliianufrychenkova_123rf1280.jpg 407w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1220,height=728,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/aruba_beachfront_iuliianufrychenkova_123rf1280.jpg 1220w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1280,height=764,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/aruba_beachfront_iuliianufrychenkova_123rf1280.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 705px) 100vw, 705px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>What we did find, however, was a nice studio at a resort on the island of\u00a0Aruba!

I may be an introvert at heart, but I love stepping outside of my comfort zone. Thanks to numerous solo travel adventures, I've learned to embrace long-term travel as a lifestyle. Now my primary goal is to help you explore unusual places, travel longer, and design a remote lifestyle.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.therockysafari.com"]}]}},"modified_by":"Rocky
