There are not many Abbeys where you can fill up on delicious rum, get wolf-whistled in the forest gullies and learn how to play croquet so a trip to St. Nicholas Abbey Barbados definitely makes for a mandatory addition to your Bajan itinerary. The home of rum, Barbados has a range of distilleries that still … Continue Reading
The Caribbean has long since been a mainstay to visit, and it’s easy to see why. Beautiful beaches, stunning landscapes and totally rich culture are only some of the amazing reasons that make this area of the world so unique. This is especially true when it comes to the best things to do in St … Continue Reading
After a spot of lunch on the beach and a rather lazy stretch in the sunshine, we decided to get ourselves in gear and go on a jet ski! Thing is, it was the first time for either of us (I think I’d kinda been terrified of jet skis before) so it was a bit … Continue Reading
Most visitors to Barbados (me included) stay on the west coast of this stunning and pristine Caribbean island and rightly so. Its tranquil waters, beautiful sandy beaches and the opportunity to swim with sea turtles is most definitely a big draw that I can never question. After spending a good few days exploring this area, I … Continue Reading
Before I headed out to Antigua, I’d heard rumours of how beautiful the beaches in Antigua are and how amazing it was for snorkelling so after a relaxing day exploring, I knew the very first activity I wanted to get up to was snorkelling! I arrived bright and early to sign up for snorkelling at … Continue Reading
The next day in St Kitts, I woke up with a surprising pain in my foot! Turns out, I hurt myself really badly on the beach the evening before from jumping around and chasing the little sandpipers on the beach. It was the stupidest thing really – I just loved watching them all march away … Continue Reading
I’m literally writing this from my hotel room in St Kitts (not sure how pertinent that is but just felt like something I needed to say). My intrigue with St Kitts actually started on a different Caribbean island, where over a lunch-time conversation with stranger-turned-new friends, I found out that St Kitts is actually, officially … Continue Reading
Oistins Fish Fry has become somewhat of an institution in Barbados, especially on a Friday night. I can’t say I had heard too much about Oistins before arriving in the Caribbean but as soon as I touched that Bajan soil I somehow managed to hear about it everywhere… and for very good reason! After spending an … Continue Reading
My first impressions of Antigua was definitely all about how colourful it. The houses are the most amazing pastel hues and even the coconut trees blend beautifully with the blue skies! It’s also really warm here but I guess that’s like saying ‘sugar is sweet’. 🙂 I effectively spent my first day here relaxing (which … Continue Reading
As nice as a resort might be, after chilling out for the first couple of days, I was itching to head out and see more of Antigua. TIP: When you’re in Antigua, instead of taking taxis everywhere you should rent a car and even if you don’t drive, get a driver with a rented car … Continue Reading
Recently, I had an amazing opportunity to join the Calabaza Sailing crew on the most spectacular tour of Barbados while visiting the Island. As you can imagine I was so excited that I woke up at the crack of dawn to charge, re-charge… pack, re-pack my GoPro for what was going to be an exciting … Continue Reading
First things first, get yourself down to Antigua! HOW TO GET THERE Once you’re in Antigua, head on down to Stingray city. It’s fairly popular, in fact, I think it’s the first thing I saw at immigration. You’ll need a taxi to get here unless you happen to be based in Seaton Village. Or if … Continue Reading
Bermuda is a gorgeous island to explore and a totally idyllic place to chill out, relax and explore on a trip. That being said, the island also has a fair few of the best things to do in Bermuda that are dotted all across the island. This, can, make it harder to whittle down a … Continue Reading
The Caribbean island of Antigua is probably most famed for its absolutely stunning beaches – in fact, there’s one for every day of the year (we’re talking 365 beaches here 😎 🏖 🍹) but there’s so much more to Antigua than just beaches. Suffice to say, you probably don’t need much convincing to visit the Caribbean (or … Continue Reading
