A complete guide to: Saint Lucia

Saint Lucia is a country which has been on my bucketlist for years and ever since I started following ‘travelsaintlucia’ on Instagram, it’s been a matter of not if but when I would visit. Just a quick scroll through that page and I was sold. It may be rated the world's best honeymoon location and …

My guide to: Philipsburg, Sint Maarten

Now I’ll be honest, the first time I visited Philipsburg, I didn’t really rate it very much. It was late on a Wednesday afternoon and, once the final cruise ship blew its horn and left, the place was like a deserted ghost town. A few weeks later, I visited again midday on a Saturday and …

What courses do I need to work on a super yacht?

What to do on Water Island, USVI

If there’s one thing that The Virgin Islands are renowned for, it’s island hopping. So after finding myself located in St Thomas for a few weeks, I set my sights further afield (or a sea should we say) and discovered Water Island. It makes up 1/4 of the inhabited U.S. Virgin Islands and is just …

The Ultimate Guide to: Saba

If I asked you to name a list of Caribbean islands, I doubt Saba would be at the top of your list. In fact, I didn't know anything about it until a week ago when I saw the island on the horizon from Sint Maarten. After a bit of research, I soon knew that this …

My Yachting Story So Far….

Sooo hi hey hello, remember me? It’s been a while but I’ve finally decided to dust off my keyboard and get back into the whole blogging malarkey. For those of you who don’t know, I’ve been spending my last 9 months working on a superyacht so I’ve decided to restart my writing comeback with a …

My Ski Season Experience

What better time to start writing about my ski season experience than sitting on a busy airport floor in Geneva 5 hours before my flight home arrives (oh the joys of an early transfer) After 3 months working in the French Alps as a chalet host, I thought I’d write a quick (or probably quite …

A quick trip to: Bourg-Saint-Maurice

The ‘Ski Bubble’ is something which every seasonaire can relate to. It's a term that my room mate and I came up with to describe the feeling of being stuck in a ski resort and outside of the reality of ‘normal life’ Don't get me wrong, waking up in the mountains surrounded by snow and …
