Current Rock of Residence:
An island in the Caribbean
Island Girl Since:
Forever. Actually lived in the Caribbean since 2016
Originally Hails From:
Colorado, US
Ahhh… the Caribbean. Where one can enjoy the sunshine, drink the rum, relax by the sea, and completely forget about responsibilities for a while. It’s an everyday (or most everyday) bliss that feels like a constant vacation where adulting is overrated and playing like a kid is embraced. And with the many different hues of the blue water grouped with warm sandy beaches, green lush hillsides, and the friendly hospitable people, one can’t go wrong moving here. Enter Quinn… a girl from land-locked Colorado who has dreamt of living in the Caribbean since she went SCUBA diving in Roatan, Honduras back in high school. Twenty-some years later, she made her dream come true and lives here in all her crazy glory…. and is loving every minute of it.

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....
