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.

Cricket Is a Game for The People
My earliest memories of cricket involve black and white images on the TV, with my dad sitting in an armchair and a voice droning on and the room being incredibly warm or maybe I associated warmth, droning voices with boredom. I paid no attention to the little men in...
The Science Behind Our Connection to Water
As Islanders we all know we feel better when we're at the beach or in the sea. Well, did you know there's some strong science behind it? I wanted to share this interesting article from Cottage Life that I happened upon this week. We don't need science to tell us about...
A Shoeless Existence
Us ladies all love shoes, right? We all dream of Carrie Bradshaw’s walk-in wardrobe from Sex in the City? Pretty, sparkly, sexy…? By definition, a shoe is ‘a covering for the foot, typically made of leather, having a sturdy sole and not reaching above the ankle’...
