This past spring, my inner anxious-planner took full control. I devoted a lot of time to meticulously reviewing my summer calendar and all I saw were back-to-back trips. However, I realized that there was little family time set aside. I quickly hopped on my Chase Travel app and booked a roundtrip ticket to Guyana to be with my loved ones. I venture to Georgetown, Guyana, twice a year to not only spend quality time with family, but also immerse myself in our rich and vibrant diverse culture that holds a special place in my heart. Relaxing in a hammock, surrendering to the tropical weather, enjoying the fresh fruit, and savoring all the curry dishes possible are the highlights of my visits. With a two-week stay planned, I celebrated my birthday and indulged in delicious mango that I picked right from my auntie's backyard.
