Trinidad and Tobago is in lockdown mode and it’s an emotional time for all as we struggle to adjust to the new normal. Practicing social distancing, remembering not to touch our faces, struggling to stay calm, and overall doing the most to #flattenthecurve is exhausting. Thankfully, in the midst of all these restrictions, some of …
It’s Carnival season in Trinidad and the absolute epicness of the parade is less than a month away! If you’re a first-timer making your debut at the Greatest Show on Earth, the excitement is REAL! But, I completely understand if your anticipation is tinged with just a hint of apprehension. After all, no video, no …
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. And sang (read: screamed) along as Bunji Garlin and Skinny Fabulous performed “Famalay” live on stage at the Festival Village. All things …
There is so much real estate to cover within the Caribbean, you can make multiple visits throughout your lifetime and still not see it all.

Hooves pounding. Waves crashing. Heart racing. My morning had certainly got off to an interesting start! Drenched from head to toe…butt aching, thighs sore…I straddled a 600 lb horse, laughing as another wave swept over us. Had I been in this churning surf on my own, I’d have undoubtedly taken a few tumbles. But, atop …
