Sandals off. Locks loose. Body stretched out on a surprisingly comfortable bed of fallen coconut tree branches…that was my conduct for most of the afternoon I spent on Sandy Island. To say I painted a cliched picture of #islandlife would be an understatement, but I make no apologies for it. Because for all the times I used …
Visiting Hog Island during the week is like purchasing a private island at the bargain price of $20 EC per head. For the cost of roundtrip boat passage from the fishing village of Woburn to the island, you could find yourself blissfully undisturbed on this tiny L-shaped strip of beach. That’s a pretty sweet deal in my book. I …
I take a lot of photos when I travel. A lot. Hundreds each day. Thousands each trip. But only a handful of them ever see the light of day. And those that do are usually buried deep inside a Facebook album that hardly does justice to the true beauty of the scenes captured, or the rarity of …
A sculpture park? Underwater? In the Spice Isle? Yes please! Grenada’s Molinere Underwater Sculpture Park has been on my Travel/Dive Bucket List since I learned of its existence. This year, I finally booked a spot on an Eco Dive tour to get up close and personal with these sculptures in almost 30 ft of water, and I was …

Just as awesome as half the stretches of coastline throughout the archipelago. And admittedly less awesome than the remaining quarter of truly idyllic real estate, where crystal clear waters …

I’ve been itching to dive for the past three weeks but a pesky cough has confined me to dry land and it’s taking its precious time to go away. Since I can’t dive, or write about new diving expeditions, I’ve channeled my frustrations into scouring dive publications, blogs and of course, my beloved Pinterest, for the …
Dive No. 14 Location: Kariwak Reef, Tobago Depth: 40 ft Dive Shop: Undersea Tobago, Coco Reef Beach Resort, Tobago Highlights: First night dive…nuff said. Details: Night diving is an awesome, mind-blowing, life-altering experience, but it is not for the faint of heart. At present, my heart is still slightly faint. But with practice, I’m confident …
