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.

“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...
