Island Stories
My name is Theres and I was 19 when I travelled to Jamaica for the first time. I fell in love with the island on the first day and came back many times since then. However, my love for the Caribbean goes beyond its white sand beaches and turquoise water. It’s the culture that captured my attention from the first moment: the riddims, colours, vibes, people and many facettes. It taught me so much about life and happiness. Now it’s time to share my experiences with you. Let me take you on a journey and show you those Caribbean treasures I was luckily able to discover.
