Current Rock of Residence:
Carriacou
Island Girl Since:
2016
Originally Hails From:
Zurich, Switzerland
Nadine’s rock is Carriacou, a small Caribbean island 14 miles north of Grenada also known as the West Indies, with her 3 cats, 3 dogs, and her significant other. She came to Carriacou for the first time in 2015 because of her love of travel and the dream of using her skills as a veterinarian to make a difference where differences were unknown. In September 2016, she permanently moved from Switzerland to Carriacou to be with her LOML and now helps run the complete non-profit charity as the head veterinarian. Apart from that, she enjoys the beach, the sea, and nature in general and especially loves stand-up paddle-boarding, snorkeling, diving, and hiking. On the odd days, when it actually rains all day in Carriacou, she loves to bake, play games, or watch a good movie. Writing is – so far – also a hobby for her.

Call me Cruella de Vil
I want to talk to you guys about the one time I "kidnapped" a dog and how I think I'm paying for it in Karma. Taking a brief trip into yesteryear, there used to be a bar and restaurant right next to the condo I live in. Said restaurant would host loud parties which...
The Perfect Island Community
"If you look at an island for what it is, it's a piece of land, surrounded by water that appears to stand alone. It's true that there are no united states or neighbouring unions. It floats in the middle of the ocean, seemingly disconnected from the rest of the world....
