THOMAS US VIRGIN ISLANDS TRAVEL VLOG 2021 <div> <br/> </div> <div> My trip to the US Virgin Islands was nothing short of amazing. Just a relatively quick trip from Manhattan that felt like I was worlds away. The weather was beautiful, locals were friendly and helpful, and the beaches were out of a desktop screensaver. A few helpful tips: </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> 1) The roads can be hard to navigate. It might save you money but if you plan on enjoying nights out and long days at the beach, I recommend taking open-air cabs.  </div> <div> 2) YOU must see St.John if you are staying on St.Thomas </div> <div> 3) Magen’s Bay is a great day trip </div> <div> 4) We stayed in the Green/Pink house which is a 200-year-old eco-friendly Airbnb based on sustainability! Can’t say enough about the Airbnb manager, Anna Monica!  </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Most of my must-do’s are in my vlog but there will also be a full blog post with all my outfit deets and restaurant reccos.

She talked about how starting an entrepreneur club in school helped her to understand and scratch the itch she had of wanting to build something. She encourages other young entrepreneurs to talk to people in other industries, learn from their mistakes, and understand how you can follow whatever is calling you. She says that this really helped her on her journey to becoming the co-founder and SEO of HEALTH-ADE. Vanessa is so motivating and I hope her journey and encouraging words lights a fire in you! I know it did for me.  </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Part 1: <a href="https://youtu.be/WnFl8KCXS_E" target="_blank"> https://youtu.be/WnFl8KCXS_E </a>    </div> <div> Part 2: <a href="https://youtu.be/uxogiR1B_qg "> https://youtu.be/uxogiR1B_qg  </a> </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> You can follow Vanessa on Instagram  <a href="https://www.instagram.com/v_dew/" target="_blank"> @v_dew </a> </div> <div> Shop Health-ade Now: <a href="https://health-ade.com/collections/shop-kombucha"> https://health-ade.com/collections/shop-kombucha </a> </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Share, Comment, and Subscribe below!  </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2DJPemv281yVA7Go_TX-TA"> https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2DJPemv281yVA7Go_TX-TA </a> </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> → Website: caseydelbasso.com  </div> <div> → Follow me on Instagram at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/caseydelbasso​"> https://www.instagram.com/caseydelbasso​ </a> </div> <div> → Lifestyle blog 49th and Fifth: <a href="https://49thandfifth.com/​"> https://49thandfifth.com/​ </a> </div> </div> Thu, 17 Jun 2021 18:06:23 GMT casey.delbasso@gmail.com (Casey DelBasso) https://www.caseydelbasso.com/part-3-aapi-heritage-month-spotlight-the-best-piece-of-advice-every-aspiring-entrepreneur-needs-to-hear New York City,Business Interviews,Vlog,AAPI,Kombucha,Lifestyle Reporter,NYC,Entrepreneur,Health-ade thumbnail main image https://www.caseydelbasso.com/part-2-aapi-heritage-month-spotlight-health-ade-co-founder-vanessa-dew Vanessa shares that her parents preferred a traditional career path for her, however, at the heart of it, she felt unfulfilled.

Vanessa shares that her parents preferred a traditional career path for her, however, at the heart of it, she felt unfulfilled. Vanessa always had an entrepreneurial spark from the time she was young so she felt the next best thing to working in a lab was working at a pharmaceutical company. This decision still left her feeling like she needed and wanted more! Vanessa wanted to be working FOR something not just IN something. When she was in business school she started taking some entrepreneur classes that really piqued her curiosity. It was then that she met her two best friends, Dinah and Justin, who are now the co-founders of Health-Ade. That is when she decided to “follow her gut” instead of her traditional comfort zone.

In Part One of my three-part series, Vanessa admits that at a young age she was a “denier” of her roots. It wasn’t until her later college years that she had a ‘come to Jesus’ moment that inspired her to love her rich heritage and consciously decided to use it to inspire her success. In the next two episodes of our series, we talk about her career pivot, how Health-ade was born, and so much more!

Governors Island should be on your summer bucket list including its culinary experience which offers a wide selection of international favorites. The island is also home to 5 new sheep “employees” who are a must-see as they maintain the invasive species on the Island.
