Black Travel Vibes: Puerto Rico is Popping (In Case You Needed a Reminder)
People tend to sleep on the depth and beauty of Puerto Rico. Though the island is considered a U.S. territory, Puerto Rico is far from American, and if you ever forget, the country’s proud people are quick to remind you. Don’t get it twisted!
