Current Rock of Residence:

Island Girl Since:
1994
Originally Hails From:
Canada
Originally from the Great White North of Canada, I am truly blessed to call the Cayman Islands home since 1994. Since here my life has been full with an amazing husband, two pretty fantastic kids (who are actually adults now), great friends from all over the world, a couple of cool dogs, numerous beverages, countless parties, wonderful visitors, various jobs with great coworkers, spectacular sunsets, breathtaking sea and a couple of hurricanes thrown into the mix to keep it all in perspective. I now share my little piece of paradise on one of the “sister islands” with my husband and a “Cayman mutt” from the local Humane Society and the kids when they need to thaw out.

How Women Who Live on Rocks Mimic the Tides
Women who live on rocks are, by nature, ramblin’ folks, and more often than not, adventure junkies. Take the risk, jump over the pond, love the new digs, get bored…and take the risk, jump over the…you get the idea. Craving different scenes, varieties of food, and yes,...
The Surreal Life inside the “Paradise Bubble” : Island life without visitors
It shouldn’t surprise anyone that we have had film crews in the Cayman Islands to shoot movies and reality shows. Life in this beautiful paradise, without the need for masks or fear of the pandemic that is raging elsewhere, certainly feels like a movie - too good to...
