Current Rock of Residence:
Grenada
Island Girl Since:
December 2015
Originally Hails From:
United States
Candi’s home rock is Grenada, West Indies, Grenada became “home” in December 2015, but she has been traveling here for 28 years, falling further and further in love with the island and its wonderful people.
In what feels like a past life, Candi worked in IT for companies like Siemens and Microsoft but has changed her crazy, high pressure life for a crazy, low pressure life and is loving it. With her husband, she tried to build and open a small villa resort on Grenada but finally just jumped and bought a home in lovely Lance aux Epines where she spends her time renovating her home, blogging at Candi and Michael on the Move, making jewelry, and being a godmother to an incredible 9 year old girl. When she’s not on-island, she is traveling to places she has always wanted to visit.

The Perfect Island Community
"If you look at an island for what it is, it's a piece of land, surrounded by water that appears to stand alone. It's true that there are no united states or neighbouring unions. It floats in the middle of the ocean, seemingly disconnected from the rest of the world....
