I’ve been to Grenada more times than I count and every time I visit I discover at least one new activity or place that blows my mind – the list containing engaging activities to happily occupy your time doing while you’re on the island is quite extensive. whether you’re a land-lover, beach-bum or a water-baby, but if I had […]
Caribbean Travel: Get More Bang for Your Buck
Traveling isn’t cheap. No secret there. Even in the Caribbean, a region that is comparatively more affordable than others, expenses add up. Factor in a round trip flight, accommodation, food, transportation and that list of must-do activities you’re constantly updating, and we’ve got an overall cost that can put an impressive dent in your bank account.

Island Girl’s 2016 Travel Highlights
2016 was not quite what I expected but it was everything I needed it to be. Some of my plans were successfully executed while others went awry, but at the end of the day I had a fulfilling year that taught me I can honestly do anything I set my mind to – including quitting my full time […]

Island Girl’s Travel Guide to Petite Martinique
Disclaimer: Petite Martinique isn’t for everyone. But it just might be for you…That is, if you’re the kind of traveler who appreciates a waaaay off-the-grid experience. One defined by a raw, unassuming landscape and authentic small-island living, which facilitates an almost complete disconnect from the rest of the world. On PM, as the locals fondly refer to […]
First Impressions: Petite Martinique
Less than a day in Petite Martinique and already I’m blogging about it. Unusual for me, but there’s absolutely nothing ‘usual’ about Petite Martinique (by my medium-sized-island-girl standards).

6 Things You Must Do in St. Lucia
Fact: 5 days in St. Lucia is not enough. But my mother and I made the best of it! I had a to-do list a mile long, chocked full of great recommendations from St. Lucians. Beaches, restaurants, hikes, plantations…unfortunately, we weren’t able to get to it all, but that just means I have a great […]
(Amateur) Video: Scuba Diving in St. Lucia
Fantastic dive center. Spacious boat. Great visibility. Delicious lunch. And a fun crew. If that doesn’t make for a good day of diving, I don’t know what does. Truth be told, I encountered more hiccups on this dive excursion than any other since I started diving but I was in good hands with the crew at Dive Saint Lucia. […]
5 Pros and Cons of Organized Tours
To tour or not to tour? That was the question on my recent trip to St. Lucia with my mother. I was partial to renting a car and roaming, she was attracted to the idea of a guided tour. In the end, Mama knows best, so we booked a day trip to Soufrière with Cosol Tours. I have to […]
Snapshots: The Colorful 85ft Hanuman Murti
Did you know the world’s second largest statue of the Hindu god, Lord Hanuman, stands at an impressive 85 ft tall in the village of Carapichaima in Trinidad (and Tobago)? I didn’t. Pretty shameful, considering I’ve called this island home for a vast majority of my life. And I’ve been roaming around other islands discovering and uncovering all […]
