What to See in Grande-Terre, Guadeloupe
While the island of Guadeloupe is a popular destination for French visitors, it’s a much less common travel destination for Americans. I arrived to the island with little to no idea of what to do in Guadeloupe and decided to figure it out as I went. The international Pointe-à-Pitre Airport is located on Grande-Terre, and…

A Brief Visit to Sandals Emerald Bay
It is quite possible that Exuma International Airport is the smallest airport I’ve visited so far! When I say small, the plane we arrived on from Miami was four seats wide and we had to walk down the tarmac into a one room customs- a far cry from the hustle and bustle of places like…

A Whirlwind Tour Through The Exumas
Due to our limited time in the Exumas, we were only able to explore for one day. Due to this, I recommend booking a trip through Coastline Adventures, as it allowed us to cram as much adventure as possible into a single day. Pickups are available from hotels and Airbnbs alike! It is important to…
