If you’ve been following my blog for a while you know that I really enjoy travelling. If you’re new to my blog, WELCOME! I have been very fortunate to travel to lots of cool places including Venice, Amsterdam and Morocco. I’m actually posting this blog right now from Arizona! As much as I have travelled abroad, there are many places I have not visited or explored on my island of Anguilla, which comprises just 35 square miles. I enjoy vacationing and taking holidays, however lately I am really starting to appreciate the value of a staycation. A staycation is basically taking a vacation…
I’ve been back home in Anguilla for about four months now. It has been a similar amount of time since my last travel adventure. I am definitely starting to feel the travel itch, which I satisfy temporarily by browsing through my pictures from my last holiday to Marrakech, Morocco. A guilty pleasure I’ve been indulging in lately is browsing travel instagrams, daydreaming about holidaying in exotic destinations. I have a few potential vacation spots in mind for 2017, however the next step is finding affordable deals. This isn’t always easy when travelling from the Caribbean.

“City of Sin or City of Freedom?” Five years ago I visited the captivating city of Amsterdam for the first time. I travelled with my University during my second undergraduate year. It was actually my first trip outside of Europe and it surely was an eye-opening experience for a young girl from the relatively conservative Caribbean. I had never experienced such an openness regarding taboo subjects such as sex and drugs. You can easily walk into a local corner shop or grocery store and buy sex or marijuana paraphernalia. Sex shops are abundant and the term coffee shop takes on a new meaning. In Amsterdam, coffee shops are a…
When it comes to travel, there are some who research their holiday destinations before departure and there are some who just jump on the plane and go. I am definitely the latter. My family has been in town for the last few weeks and aside from spending quality time together we have been using the opportunity to travel a bit within the UK and around Europe. About a month ago, we travelled to Venice, Italy for a short holiday. Venice has always been on my Mom’s wanderlust list and mines so it was great to be able to experience this beautiful city on…
