“The first Nomadness Travel Tribe beach trip was to Bocas Del Toro, Panama. Eighteen of us, many meeting for the first time offline, stayed in an eco-friendly oasis. Across the dirt road was the wide ocean surrounded by coconut trees. The overgrown habitat featured a rough pool. It was overwhelmingly beautiful. For a week, I fell asleep to the sound of crashing waves. Each morning, the sun would shine off the ocean in warm greeting. The truth is, I was never a beach person. It had its moments, but I was more an admirer of the atmosphere- gentle winds and the energy of the ocean. The environmental sounds and scents always got me, rather than the beach, itself. It was on this trip that I developed a new respect for the power and grace of the sea.” STAY: Bluff Beach Retreat ~Evita Robinson Evita Robinson is a world traveler and the creator of Nomadness TV.
