Your Island-Hopping, Insider’s Guide to the Caribbean 🏖️

If you’ve been following me on social media, you know I’ve been traveling personally and virtually to many new places over the past year researching destinations for my clients. If not, click on my social media to follow me and check out the 20+ countries and hundreds of photos featured just in the past year.

On Friday, I flew home from a destination evaluation trip to Turks & Caicos. As I cruised 34,000 feet above the Caribbean, I reflected on how wonderful and unique the many different islands are in this part of the world. I’ve been to several of them and recently enjoyed visiting St. Thomas and St. John earlier this year for my vacation. For those of us on the east coast, the Caribbean is just a short direct flight to a beach paradise.

And this reminded me of a wonderful article written by a fellow traveler Sarah Khan for Virtuoso. The insights are spot on and I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

What to do (and where to stay) on nine of our favorite islands.

Rum bars and seafood shacks, music and mega yachts and boutique resorts galore. This time of year, we’re ready to drop it all for a splash of sun – and the Caribbean’s top of mind. But in a sea of tempting sands, how to choose between Saint Lucia and Anguilla, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic (while steering clear of tourist traps)?

We asked nine high-profile locals what their Caribbean islands mean to them, where they take friends, and how travelers can make the most of their next beach break.

It is so exciting to see that additional destinations are welcoming back travelers with open arms and big smiles! It is an incredible feeling being the recipient of this grand welcome! It is hard to describe and something you will need to experience yourself. So… on that note… where would you like to travel to next? 

If you need a few ideas, how about one of these destinations…Key West, St. John USVI, Dubai, Morocco, Maldives, Croatia, Costa Rica, Argentina, Panama, Greece, Egypt or Turks & Caicos! In fact, any one of these destinations sound amazing right about now!! :>

If you are ready to pursue a new adventure, let’s do it!  Don’t wait!  Life it too short!
