“One sabbatical trip was all it took. I’ve been finding reasons to go back ever since.”

Caribbean is where I’ve spent years working inside the industry. Tropical is different — it’s personal. This is the part of the world I fell in love with on a sabbatical trip, and it’s stayed with me ever since.

You’ll find island travel here that isn’t the Caribbean but shares the same spirit: real beaches, real logistics, real recommendations from someone who’s actually planned the trip, not just written about it after a press release landed in their inbox.

If you’re after honest advice on tropical island travel — where to stay, what it actually costs, what nobody tells you before you go — this is the place.
