Let Her Inspire You..

Once covid-19 travel restrictions were lowered for travel it was only natural to take a stab at flying around the world in search of true inspiration. For a jump start on that inspiration only one place can help - it’s a tiny island in the Caribbean and it’s called St. Lucia! St. Lucia has provided a bountiful supply of inspiration throughout history, so much so that its official slogan is ‘let her inspire you.’ St. Lucia is the perfect place for anyone looking for fun in the sun. Built around a glorious mountain range and overlooking pristine blue waters, even from the airplane ride in, it’s evident that this island in the sun is fraught with adventure for all.

Eternal Traveler Magazine ETM, got to experience a 7 day trip provided by American Airlines partnership and Travel St. Lucia, the tourism board of St. Lucia. With a stay in the 3 bedroom villa at Windjammer and unlimited access to pristine beaches, the trip was as inspiring for future work as it was magnificent during the moments there.

Excursions taken while in St. Lucia included a tour of the entire island and all the magic it has to offer. A stop at the sulfur baths, made from active volcano run off, by boat was a favorite of the group. Historic stops at the plantations and battlegrounds are great for those who want to learn more about St. Lucia’s interesting past. A sunset cruise on a private catamaran proved to be adventurous and romantic at the same time too!

For the food forward people in a the group, stop offs at local vendors for sweet rolls stuffed with fish were a favorite.

Seriously, there’s something for everyone in St. Lucia!

This historic hotel, located an hour away from the popular el Viejo old town of Puerto Rico, is a perfect combination of old world charm and modern day features. Featuring over 5 restaurants, a shopping promenade and wellness program worth mentioning to your friends from California, El San Juan hotel has something for everyone!

Staying at the El San Juan hotel includes access to fabulous rooms overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, a rooftop workout center and 3 massive pools. The favorite amongst the pool options goes to the El San Juan adults only ‘chill’ pool, where guests are encouraged to bask in the sun while listening to ambient beats. With relaxing is in order at El San Juan Hotel, taking care of a worked up appetite, naturally, would be next! In addition to a Piña Colada, the famous cocktail that hails from Puerto Rico, visitors can enjoy healthy snacks and libations any time of day! Nothing says living the good life like a sip off a frozen cocktail or a bite from a Mal chock full of antioxidants just before a dip in the sea!

When it comes to food overall, the El San Juan hotel does not disappoint. The avant-garde fare by chef Juliana Gonzalez at Caña packs a punch of flavor in every bite. Obscure takes on familiar items really sets this restaurant apart. With the adventure seekers aside, STK leaves plenty of room for a big ol’ steak, just the way you like it, and all the fixing’s too! Both restaurants are located inside the El San Juan hotel and are amongst 5 others in total. The most exhilarating place to catch a drink or bite to eat is in the lobby bar where live music invites guests to dance to the beat and get caught in the feelings of Puerto Rico’s past

With Covid-19 safety measures in place, the hotel had a few rules that hindered the experience imaginable but nothing too interfering that’s worth a mention. As with all locations, this would be a place to re-visit once all restrictions are lifted.

Danielle Hu

Hi! My name is Danielle Hu, online business coach, content creator and host of The Wanderlover Podcast. I am a corporate escapee originally from New York but have been traveling full time for the past 4 years.

Like many people who were taught to pursue a life of stability, I landed what I thought was my dream job at a big bank, only to realize I hated it. Through following my passions, finding my entrepreneurship

community, and making some bold life decisions, I now run a multiple six-figure online coaching and content creation business and have traveled to 60+ countries. My mission is to empower and mentor people through growing their own online brand and learning the business side of creativity, so they can also realize how possible it is to live a life by design.

I love surfing, good food, and the outdoors, so some of my favorite places that I have traveled to are Argentina, South Africa, Hawai’i, and Indonesia!.

The Wanderlover enables travel and freedom through entrepreneurship. We operate fully online, and are a team of 6 from all around the world.

Photo by Danielle Hu

Through my courses and coaching, I am able to help others start and scale their own online businesses. We also release new episodes on the podcast every Monday morning, about life design, social media, business, and mindset. We are all about time freedom, location freedom, AND financial freedom! I also create content for hotels and travel brands when I travel. Being a creator and coach was an intentional choice where I followed my gut and did what makes me happy. To me, it’s the best lifestyle in the world if you love creating, traveling, and helping others.

Travel is so important because it expands your frame of reference of what is possible and what is out there. You start questioning your reality and realize there are so many different ways to live, so if your current way isn’t making you happy, you have so many other choices! I think travel also teaches you to trust that you can handle whatever life throws at you, even if you don’t have a plan.

There’s no need to put the pressure on yourself to have a plan for life until your retire.

Why don’t we all just do what brings us joy, and focus on continuing to do those things every single day?

If you’re American, take advantage of the amazing credit cards for travel! I have the Chase Sapphire Reserve and Chase Business Ink, so every single purchase I make in my personal life and in business goes towards the same travel portal and you are able to optimize rewards points from different categories. I haven’t paid for a flight in years because of my points!

“You can sleep when you’re dead”

I would love to go back to Europe and live there for a while! We are planning to relocate to Portugal next year and I’m really looking forward to road tripping through countries. Europe is my favorite continent and my first love because it was the first place I lived abroad in.

All the times I said “You can sleep when you’re dead” in my teenage years and early 20’s. Late nights partying around the world. Now nothing makes me happier than getting 8 hours of sleep, even if that means having to sleep at 9pm!

It’s funny because now I’ll actually wake up for sunrise surfs when before the only time I saw sunrise was when I stayed out all night.

I thrive in the tropics and love surfing in a bikini so warm destinations are ones that I love to travel too!

Best tip is to just book the flight, chase after your dreams. Don’t get so caught up with logistics, with what could happen. Worrying is praying for what you don’t want and everything will work itself out and you learn to trust your intuition.

Every single day is different, depending on which country I’m in, what I’m working on. I could be out exploring and creating content, having client calls at a cafe, surfing, but most likely all of the above!

My Passion Planner! This goes with me everywhere as it is my life coach in journal form. I always make sure that I’m working towards my bigger goals.

If you are reading my story and thinking “Wow, how does she do that?” And wanting to do the same, know that if I did it, you can too. You can enroll in my signature 8-week course Wanderlover Business Academy 2.0 to have a clear action plan and get started with your online business journey.

My DMs are always open! You can find me on Instagram @thewanderlover or check out The Wanderlover Podcast for your weekly dose of travel and business inspo!
