It was sad leaving the island but I didn’t have time to dwell, so many exciting things to look forward to in Trinidad and Tobago! A wedding and carnival just some of things to look forward too..

Final island days, for now..
Once I arrived back on the island I knew I had only three more months till my next adventure so no more trips in the meantime. I just made the most of the beautiful island I call home.
Cali vibes to Aussie hangs..
October meant we were nearing the end of hurricane season and it had been one of the worst in the last ten years, Hurricane Irma luckily didn’t hit us but we had the rough weather..
It was then time for my next whirlwind trip, this time including a visit home for the first time in a couple of years.
Cayman Adventures..
Summer days on the island meant numerous beach days, especially with Jack the pug and his love of paddleboards.
Caribbean Island Hopping..
I had been looking into cheap flights to different islands of the Caribbean and Sint Maarten came up so I did some research of the surrounding Leeward Islands, grabbed a friend and off we went..!
Cayman Carnival..
The first half of 2017 on the island involved all sorts of weird and wonderful things. Cayman Carnival the biggest highlight..
Off the grid in Cuba..
It had been over two years since I last went to Cuba and, seeming it is one of the closest islands to where I live, I had to go visit again. This time it was straight to Vinales..!
Dominican Republic Shenanigans..
For Easter I had another visitor and this time we went exploring the Dominican Republic. I had a 10-day trip planned and so many places I wanted to check out!!

The first trip of 2017 was to Treasure Beach in Jamaica. Myself and a friend planned a trip for a group of about 13 of us for a long weekend..!

Family visits..
November meant I finally had my sister, Alex, and her boyfriend, Todd, come visit – I was very excited to show them the island!
Puerto Rico Exploring..
I decided to go to Puerto Rico as I wanted to get back to nature and go hiking.. Puerto Rico looked like great fun so off I went for a long weekend..
Orlando hangs..
After my last whirlwind trip it was back into training mode for my first time attending USA touch nationals in Orlando. We had a ladies team (for the first time) and a couple of men’s teams that were traveling.
Adventures with Walter Mitty..
My next big trip started off by meeting my trusty travel buddy, Mitty, in Panama ready for a new adventure making our way through to Colombia.
Sporting trips and islands times..
The June long weekend meant another weekend in New York, this time for a touch rugby tournament. A bit of a last minute plan but it was great fun. As it was a new sport to me it was great to see other teams and play a few more games.
Honduras Island Hopping..
As I had a couple of friends in Roatan, why not go for a weekend visit?!
There were direct flights from Grand Cayman to La Ceiba then it was a short propeller plane ride over to the island of Roatan.
Island activities and Carnival..
Back in the sun on the Island, Dad had a few more days to chill out and enjoy the sun. We went for some dives and the delicious Friday special burger at The Lobster Pot..
Days on the Rock..
The first few months of 2016 consisted of numerous sporting events such as gaelic, volleyball and my first ever touch rugby games..
New Year’s = new country.!
It was New Year’s eve and I was driving home with an off feeling – I really wanted to get off island. Next thing I know, my mate from Bahamas messaged and told me to get over ASAP.. Next thing I know I was racing home, threw some clothes into a bag and raced to the airport. At the counter I had three minutes to book before the counter closed. I booked.
My first Caribbean Silly Season..
November meant the start of conching season!! This was so much fun.. We took a few kayaks and swum around out the front of my mates parents place where we went freediving down to pick up the conch we spotted.
