The Caribbean is a bucket-list destination that most people dream of visiting at least once in their lifetime. A group of tropical islands situated off the coast of South America with warm turquoise waters and sleepy palm trees swaying gently in the breeze on a golden-sand beach, what's not desirable about it? But there are… Read More

It was our last full day in St Barth and we decided to spend it at Nikki Beach, a beach-bar situated on what is arguably the most beautiful beach on the entire island. I had been to the Eden Rock restaurant next door twice on previous visits to the island and it was now time… Read More

The next day we set off to find yet another beach. Yesterday, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at Anse De Grand Cul-De-Sac and today we were going to a beach called Anse de Grande Saline. It was a fairly long drive to get there. As we neared the beach, the land became a lot more rural… Read More

A new day, a new beach! Today we were exploring a beach called 'Anse de Grand Cul-De-Sac' which I think translates to 'beach of large cul-de-sac'. You can actually see the beach from our villa. As the name suggests, the beach curves round the coastline rather like a cul-de-sac. When we arrived at the beach… Read More

Travelling to new places comes with its share of adventure. When travelling to a new destination you want to immerse yourself in the place, soak up the culture and see the key sights.

In February half term, during my final year of school, we flew to St Barts. St Barts is a small French island found in the Caribbean. I had been here twice before but without actually staying on the island. Let me explain. In 2009, we went island-hopping round the Caribbean and one of our stops… Read More

It was our third day on the small island of Anguilla. After spending my time soaking up the sun’s glorious rays beside the ocean, it was time to reignite some adventure with a day trip to a nearby island called St Barthélemy. The best way to travel between Anguilla and St Bathélemy is by ferry.… Read More

My dreams were interrupted by a low groaning-like sound. I blinked open my eyes, heavy with sleep, aware that my bed was juddering ever so slightly. Memories of the previous day came flooding back. The anchor! We had arrived at another destination. All fatigue disappeared in a flash and I made my way over to… Read More
