And fortunate enough to stay during the summer months attending an amazing July 4thparty there, a midsummer party that’s held at the Parish Art Museum as well staying during the sleepy winter months when there are only locals around town and finding out it does actually snow at the beach!!…a first for me.

Luxury travel & lifestyle on a gypsy budget
For the last couple of years I have been living out of suitcase literally! I mean literally! I’m not joking.
