Current Rock of Residence:
Turks and Caicos
Island Girl Since:
2015
Originally Hails From:
San Francisco
Janine, along with her husband John, first travelled to Turks and Caicos in 2014 to celebrate life with longtime friends and lots of yummy island drinks. It was there they fell in love with the amazing people and the impossible turquoise waters. So much so that the following year they came back only to purchase a lovely home they rent as much as they possibly can. The couple were immersed in the tech world in San Francisco, each co-founding and running their own companies. Any time the house wasn’t rented, they got on a plane to get to TCI as fast as they could.
But they fondly remember that one incredible day in 2017 while they were enjoying bubbly in the pool when hubby John said, “I wish we didn’t have to go back,” to which Janine replied, “Let’s not!” and they made it happen. Now she lives on one of the best beaches in the world, Grace Bay Beach, and enjoys island life to the fullest with her husband and doggie, Dwight!

If Once You Have Slept on An Island
A hundred year old poem that has stood the test of time... If once you have slept on an island You'll never be quite the same: You may look as you looked the day before And go by the same old name, You may bustle about in street and shop You may sit at home and sew,...

Link Up Local
Either you are into searching, scouting and finding out new, (yeah, new what??), new everything or you are not. I belong to the first category. For me part of living on a Rock is embracing the style/ways and quirkiness of that Rock. Having moved to a new Rock a year...
