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 …

Standing on the hill above the Moravian church in Moriah, I have the perfect view of the junction below. From this vantage point, in the company of several villagers manning the dirt oven, I observe the sizable crowd. Like me, everyone is here for the Tobago Ole Time Wedding, scheduled to begin at 1 pm. …
Road trips on small islands are great because you get to cover a lot of ground within a short space of time and you’re treated to flawless views along the way! Tobago is no different. As tiny as it looks on a map, the island offers a lot of diversions, from historical sites to panoramic …
All beaches in Tobago are beautiful in their own right, but they certainly aren’t all the same. Some are perfect for all-day relaxation and comfort, others are ideal for falling completely off the grid. Some are good for a little adventure, while others have all the right conditions for your favorite water sport. If you’ve …
Tobago, in my personal (slightly biased) estimation, is an island paradise. I have the privilege of calling this little rock in the southern Caribbean my home and I enjoy exploring it every chance I get. I swear, on an average day the blues are bluer, the greens are greener, the flowers bloom brighter, the history …
Live anywhere long enough and you’re inclined to become immune to its charm. The beaches aren’t as dazzling. The culture isn’t as fascinating. The residents aren’t as welcoming. And your day-to-day activities tend to dull the shine of otherwise exciting experiences. Lucky for me, Tobago isn’t just ‘anywhere’, it’s paradise on earth. So, after two …
Twelve hours isn’t enough time to truly experience Tobago, but sometimes that’s all you’ve got. Luckily, if planned carefully, you’ll be able to check out the 3B’s – beautiful beaches, boat tour, best views. And still make it to the airport with time to spare! Here’s how… Getting There and Getting Around Fly The ferry is …
I’ve been stationary for the past few weeks – and will remain in Trinidad and Tobago until Carnival has come (yay!) and gone (boo…) – so I decided to use this uninterrupted time at home to ‘Go. See. Explore.’ in my very own front yard. Best! Decision! Ever! My sweet T&T has been surprising me with amazing …
There’s a lot to be said about Tobago’s beaches, but I’ll keep it brief: They’re awesome. More awesome than a quarter of the beaches in the Caribbean. 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 …
