The Exumas, Bahamas

The Bahamas is one of my favorite places to visit in the world. There are 700 islands, of which 30 are inhabited, and about 2,400 cays (coral reefs). Each one is more special than the next.

Did you know there is an island where pigs live, and you can swim and feed them, and take a selfie? I had the opportunity to visit this island several times and it was an awesome day!

Make sure you bring carrots, water, and even some pasta, because they love pasta. Over the past few years this island in the Exumas has been getting more recognized because of the Instagram photos of all the celebrities who come here to take selfies with the swimming piggies.

You can fly to their local airport or travel by boat to get to The Exumas.

I found a local Bahamian, Errol Thurston Jr., to be super knowledgeable and helpful getting around the islands. His instagram is https://www.instagram.com/paid_to_play_all_day/.

This is one place that should be on your bucket list if it isn't already there.
