Current Rock of Residence:
Anguilla
Island Girl Since:
2019
Originally Hails From:
Springfield, Ohio
As a former flight attendant, Kim loves to travel. Married to an Army officer, they spent 15 years moving around the U.S. to various military bases before landing in Washington, D.C. In 2005, she left the increasingly “not-so-friendly” skies for work with a medical specialty society. She and her husband always felt a pull towards the Caribbean and visited often over the years.
In 2015, they discovered Anguilla and slowly started unwinding from life in the United States to pursue their dream of living in the Caribbean. After selling their home, storing 20 boxes in her sister’s basement, and holding a crazy estate sale, Kim and her husband shipped a container with their remaining belongings to Anguilla to experience life on a rock. She still considers herself an island newbie and looks forward to years of adventures in paradise.

“SIMPLE JOYS OF POST STORM LIFE”
Seems as if recent climatic events and other disasters seen on TV news reports, have triggered a multitude of residual emotions in me which I thought I had gotten rid of during Irma/Maria Recovery. The following is an excerpt from my published Hurricane journal “TWO...
The Gift
When my husband and I decided to uproot our family from Kentucky- from the only place, people, and life we have ever known- and move to a tiny island in the Caribbean, it was of course met with so many remarks to the tune of "Oh My Gosh, THAT'S AMAZING!", "You are...
