Caribbean Is My Medicine: Reflections from a Caribbean Heart

“A still Caribbean morning — the kind that quiets your thoughts, softens your heart, and reminds you that peace is not a luxury, it’s your birth right.”

There’s something deeply healing about sitting outside in the Caribbean — just me, the ocean, and the rhythm of palm trees swaying gently in the breeze. A moment of stillness, no demands, no distractions. Just peace. These are the moments I live for now. Moments where I remember who I am beneath the layers of responsibility, routine, and resilience that come with being a single mum.

"Peace isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity." — Caribbean Is My Medicine."

✨ The Power of Pause

I work hard. Like so many women, I’ve spent years showing up for everyone else — my children, my job, my responsibilities — without pausing to truly show up for myself. But in recent years, I’ve come to appreciate the value of experiences more than anything. Not just ticking off attractions, but creating memories. And for me, travel is the purest form of that. Travel is my medicine.

✨ Back to My Roots

Growing up with Caribbean roots, going back always feels like a kind of homecoming — even if it’s not the exact island my family is from. The warmth of the people, the music in the air, the scent of the food, the ocean that always feels familiar — it all feels like a reconnection. A reminder that I am part of something bigger. A culture, a history, a rhythm I carry in my blood.

✨ From Resorts to Real Adventures

When my children were younger, I always booked package holidays — deals with trusted names like TUI, where resorts and water parks made things easy and exciting. And for a time, that worked. We made beautiful memories in those places. But as they’ve grown, so have our preferences.

These days, we find joy in the little surprises: hiring a car and driving through the hills, stopping at roadside fruit stalls, chatting with local people, and finding hidden beaches we never knew existed.

It’s not about escaping life. It’s about remembering how beautiful life can be.

✨ Spending with Heart

There’s something special about moving through a place on your own terms. No tight schedules. No overcrowded buffets. Just the freedom to explore. And when you spend your money in local restaurants, at family-run guesthouses, or with street vendors sharing their craft, it feels good — like you’re giving back to the people who make the island what it truly is. If you're craving more authentic, local Caribbean moments, try Get Your Guide’s local excursions — from island food tours to hidden beaches.

A taste of island wellness — colour, freshness, and flavour on every tray. This is nourishment for body and soul.

✨ Solo Moments. Shared Magic.

Sometimes I travel alone. Other times, with my children. But either way, I come back better. Lighter. More present.

"You don’t have to wait for permission — give it to yourself."

To every single mum, to every woman carrying the weight of it all: you deserve this too. Not someday. Not when everything is perfect. Now. Your peace matters. Your joy matters.
