Current Rock of Residence:
St Croix, USVI
Island Girl Since:
June 2017
Originally Hails From:
Utah
Sarah has always wanted to travel. Having been born and raised in Utah and having lived there all her life, she wanted to see the world. When she and her husband decided that their life was “too much” and they wanted a slower pace of life, where else would they look besides an island? They were led to St. Croix, USVI. Having never been to the island, she took a leap of faith. She sent her husband to buy a home. She then packed up their home of 12 years and shipped everything – including a car – to St. Croix. Then she and her 2 boys (ages 9 and 7) boarded a plane and headed off to a place they had only ever seen in pictures. She has been on her “rock” for 2 months now and loves everything (well mostly everything) and has found the slower pace they desired. You can read more about Sarah’s life on St. Croix, USVI on her personal blog, Our Innovative Life.

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....
