St. John, USVI

December 2013

Originally Hails From:

Georgetown, TX

Leah fell in love with St. John long before she actually made her move permanent in 2013. Her family bought a SCUBA diving business back in 2005, and so began her torrid romance with her rock. At that time in her life, stateside things like bad relationships, education, and careers got in her way of escaping – oh those complications! A reformed high school math teacher, Leah managed to clear away the obstacles and has been an official St. Johnian for over three years now. Many things captivate Leah on St. John, but nothing like scuba diving. Luckily, her boyfriend shares in that passion and they spend a ton of time underwater getting into all sorts of fun adventures lobstering and exploring the ocean frontier. You will find her underwater, on the water and in the water any chance she gets, as she is working towards ond of her current life goals of becoming a mermaid. Lobster Leah, the aspiring mermaid, also enjoys marveling at the idiosyncrasies of the rock she lives on and the beautiful personalities that surround her.

That wasn’t even a tropical storm!

Let me start by saying, I know things could be much worse... Usually I love a good electrical storm. I don’t even mind being woken up in the night when things start raging outside. In fact, that happens often. If you live near the sea, you know that no thunder is as...

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,...
