WHAT IS FORMERLYME?

Jim West

FormerlyMe is an online movement to motivate and inspire people to become the best version of themselves by showing them my journey and experience in trying a new workout and lifestyle regime every 30 days. Every post, update, and video is ‘formerly me’ as I endeavor to become the best version of myself and become FormerlyMe. Each month CP Magazine will showcase a part of my journey to becoming the best version of myself. I hope that in turn this inspires and motivates you to start your own journey as well. For this month’s story we will focus on the “On The Go: Cruises” days of my journey.

Towards the end of 2021, I had begun a series of back to back cruises. The stops I would get a chance to explore extensively for several weeks were Cozumel, Belize, and Roatan. I had sailed a few times to the eastern Caribbean to visit the Bahamas. Now I would be visiting the western Caribbean. One of the things top of my list to see were Mayan Temples. I absolutely love history and to get to see and walk among the ruins was quite the experience to have while in Belize.

At the next stop in Honduras I would get perhaps the most unexpected experience. I have been to a few animal encounter experiences such as the gators in Orlando, and had a dolphin experience in Egypt. These are typically very pricey and you can't take your own photos and videos. At Daniel Johnson's Monkey and Sloth Hangout you get not only one animal encounter experience, but three. Sloths, macaws, and monkeys are all there for such a low cost and it was one of the most memorable experiences I have ever had. Finally there was Cozumel. I got out to the city center and walked the streets and took in the sights and sounds of a city coming back alive as tourists are coming back. Going through the shutdown and pandemic gave me a renewed appreciation of travel and how important it is for not only businesses, but the people who support and work at these businesses to earn a living. The ability to be able to travel is a gift and one that I, now more than ever, did not want to let go to waste.
