00:00 What's up Labadee fam? We've spent an amazing weekend in Antigua and now we're back for the grand finale of Bougie and Abroad.
00:06 Previously on Bougie and Abroad, our travel crew enjoyed a fun-filled day of adventure while swimming with the stingrays
00:13 before descending on Prickly Pear Island to enjoy an exclusive private island party experience.

00:37 This is Bougie and Abroad.
00:39 It is our fifth and last day in Antigua and we couldn't leave without giving back to the people
00:45 of Antigua. Colin makes sure all of the CD trips are intentional with their connection to the island.
00:51 We're going to follow him visiting a local school.
00:53 Today we are at the Adele School for Special Children here to make a donation for 2700 EC or
01:01 a thousand US dollars to the school for their youth. We truly believe that the youth are our
01:07 future and education is a key so really just providing some additional resources and some
01:12 swag a couple hats for them so that they know that we care about them and CD is more than just a party.

01:20 [Laughter]

01:38 Got it, got it, got it.

01:51 I just don't think it's responsible for folks to go someplace and not to contribute a little bit
01:58 so what I really aim to do is not just have my friends come here and party but as they have a
02:04 good time think about ways that we can give back whether that's going to be a donation of book bags
02:10 and school supplies or any sort of other donation really just making sure that we leave more than
02:15 footprints. My background is in education my PhD is in education so I'm big on education really
02:22 always wanting kids to feel supported create the best schooling environments as possible because
02:26 that really helps to shape and mold our future leaders so donating some funds to help them
02:32 get some new materials some resources for school was just something that I thought would be a
02:38 simple enough task but something that can be really meaningful and make a difference for
02:42 kids that need it. Thank you.

02:50 Next up your favorite travel influencers will share their favorite memories as they recap their
02:55 weekend before heading out to their next adventure. My best moment it had to be the boat in my yellow
03:00 swimsuit. I would have to agree just a good vibe good group of people with great energy. I'm gonna
03:05 say Vice. Vice is a crazy time um you know having to tell my life and that was a great time for me.
03:10 I love Antigua it's just amazing but y'all day you don't want to miss that day. It continuously
03:15 gets better I always want to come back it never gets repetitive. So many amazing young black
03:20 millennials across the country that come here good vibes good energy. Fun exhilarating luxurious
03:28 epic stress-free. It's the one place where you could indulge in like the experience of like a
03:35 different culture different foods and this is honestly a great time. I've been back now for
03:40 about five six years and every time it's a different experience but in the whole a great
03:45 fun experience like an adrenaline rush that you have when you're on the boat. It's a great place
03:49 where you can have fun network have a good time relax the spa is great. I mean if you can see the
03:55 beautiful vibes here this is giving luxury it's giving plush it's giving black excellence so
04:00 that that's all I need. Antigua a beautiful island and a destination we've shown in all its glory.
04:08 The beaches, the fets, the food, the culture and of course the people. Antigua isn't always mentioned
04:15 when discussing where to travel and we hope our trip put that bug in you to consider. For a bougie
04:20 experience abroad Antigua is a perfect destination for just that plus we had a really great host
04:27 bring us all together. We hope we inspired you to live your best bougie and abroad life. Until next time.
