If you ask me, Tobago is the cultural capital of the Caribbean. It’s home to a century’s old sporting event that is as unique as it is intriguing. It’s host of one of the most extravagant wedding processions you will ever witness in real life. And it upholds one of the most sincere fishing customs, …

It’s been almost a month since my long weekend in St. Croix and I’m still basking in the afterglow of their special brand of paradise. I played mas. Ate my belly full. Snorkeled.

As beautiful as our coastlines may be, the Caribbean isn’t all blue water and white sand beaches. Covering 1.7 million km², comprising approximately 700 islands, and consisting of 31 countries and territories, this archipelago is overflowing with diverse experiences.

I’m the furthest thing from a foodie but a girl likes to eat. And when she eats, she loves her food to come with a view.
