Hello my fellow lovers of travel… It’s winter again and we celebrate another fabulous year together. Thank you for being a part of all that we do. This year, 2017, we would love to get you more actively involved in exploring the Caribbean. With social media being such an integral part of our daily lives, we are looking for some Caribbean Living ambassadors. These ambassadors will share their trips, tips, photos and more. If you are interested, send an email to Friends@CaribbeanLivingMagazine.com and Gina will get you the details. If you’re home reading this, we have another great issue for you. Join me, as I study French in Martinique. It’s been a dream and the school I chose made it so much fun. You’ll most likely be tempted to commencez…

Turks and Caicos The beaches of Providenciales has a new enclave of residences that epitomize the resort experience while maintaining the feel of staying in the luxurious comfort of your own home. With 6,000 square feet to roam between private living and outdoor spaces, it would be easy to get lost or lonely without a companion or family to wade through the four or five bedroom villa options. No worries though, with dedicated butler service to tend to daily needs and offer recommendations, it helps to ensure that time is extensively occupied, if desired. Without a doubt, some of those moments will include privately prepared chef meals or an uplifting yoga sessions. The Beach Enclave North Shore is the ideal location to escape and engage in rest and relaxation, with…

A fun and thrilling tale, Pirate Latitudes takes readers on an adventure back in time to life on the high seas in the Caribbean centuries ago. Published posthumously, at first glance this might appear to be a stark contrast from Crichton’s other famous works such as Jurassic Park, Congo and Sphere, taking a break from science fiction in this fantastical pirate tale. However like all of his works, this story is masterfully detailed, throwing readers into the beauty and horror of what it was like to live in the 17th century. This historical journey is more than just a pirate romp, and as our hero Capt. Charles Hunter would say, he’s not even a pirate at all. Hunter is a charismatic, educated privateer in the wild and chaotic town of…

ANDREW INNERARITY Director of Photography It’s all about triggering emotion via imagery. When I convey the very essence of a situation with a single photograph, then I am complete, because the viewer understands more than the moment, they know the situation. HANNAH ROGERS Contributor I’ve been incredibly lucky that travel has always been a part of my life, especially with my family. From three-day long drives to go camping in the south of France, to party weeks in Ibiza and more upgraded adventures to Mauritius, The States and The Caribbean, they really have taken me all over. Now that my parents’ destination of choice has become Antigua, I’ve just started exploring on my own - and have plenty planned. Nick Rourke Creative Direction I leave for vacation tomorrow.... I think…

JANUARY The New Year opens with the vibrant and colorful Junkanoo cultural tradition. The Bahamas has everyone dancing in the streets amongst the sea of revelers, in this case, fully clad from head toe. Draped in feathers, ruffles and an array of brilliant colors, marchers beat steel pan and drums, blowing whistles and horns. Sound the joyful noise, because the Abacos kicks off the Junkanoo parade on January 1 and Nassau and Paradise Island keep the theme going on January 2. Antigua’s celebration for the New Year is also bound to be big on festivities and cultural enlightenment, so don’t let the name fool you. “Minival” is underway January 1. There’s just enough time to rest-up, and be on the course at Sandals Emerald Bay, since eyes around the world…

In a plane made in Brazil, used by an American airline, weaving between grey rain showers, with vivid greenery beneath patches of blue sky, we touch down in Philip S.W. Goldson International airport.... Popping gave away our descent to Belize City, and wanting to maximize my time at Naia Resort and Spa, as the pilots ran through their cockpit checklist, I ran through my vacation checklist. In a plane made in Brazil, used by an American airline, weaving between grey rain showers, with vivid greenery beneath patches of blue sky, we touch down in Philip S.W. Goldson International airport. With customs forms already filled out and double checked (I hate leaving information then being told by the official, step to the side to fix your error) I am ready to…

Travel is so fulfilling on so many different levels, and for each of us, it represents a variety of things: It can satisfy a need to escape our everyday reality, become a porthole into another way of life, or so many other things. The one thing that holds true, no matter the reason for the trip, is that we grow from each experience. On this adventure, I set a deliberate intention to learn and grow by enrolling in French class. Certainly, the French I took all those years ago was hiding in my brain simply waiting to spring back to the forefront. Well, I set out to see how deeply buried it was and breathe some life back into it. I could have chosen from a variety of destinations, but…
