Creator's Key Takeaways

I am from St. Vincent and the Grenardines. Who else has ever been there? But lovely, beautiful island.

This was such a great experience. My first real hike ever. And what a place to start, right?

There was nothing that I had that disappointed me on this island. Home-cooked or restaurant made. Everything had a burst of flavor.

Solo travel isn't just about beaches and cocktails. It's about connection, humility, and being invited, even briefly, into someone else's story.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Eat breakfast and pack snacks before hiking La Soufrière volcano.
Flag down vans for public transportation to get around the island affordably.

Navigating public transportation for the first time outside the USFlag down vans, use Google Maps with Gig Sky internet, and follow locals to learn the system.
