hey there!

Hi, my name is Meeka Fayetima, and you can find me frolicking in the ocean or getting lost in a castle. My first love is the ocean, and I love scuba diving, freediving, and mermaiding. If you're an ocean babe who loves dreamy travel destinations, hidden gems, and afternoon tea spots, we should be friends.

Here’s a few tips for visiting. 💐 bring a bottle/vase with water on it to keep your tulips alive on your way home ( you receive 5 tulips per ticket) 💐 Wear shoes you don’t mind getting dirty. 💐 Baskets are available to use but I prefer brining my own. 💐 Visit Thursday-Sunday to catch some dawn images. 💐 Wear reef-friendly sunscreen. #tulipfestival #tulipseason #dcgardens #virginiaisforlovers❤️
