5 Caribbean Travel Sites to Satisfy Your (Virtual) Wanderlust
The travel industry has recently started on its long road to recovery. Even though some of us may not be comfortable with flying quite yet, that doesn’t mean we can’t start planning future getaways.
Many of us are feeling cooped up after following stay-at-home orders for the past few months. We’re understandably wanting to get out of our homes/offices and travel.
If I could go anywhere right now, it’d be somewhere tropical (as far away from the desert as I can get). And as we just finished recognizing Caribbean American Heritage Month in June, I thought it’d be a perfect time to recognize a few outstanding Caribbean travel sites that celebrate the unique cultures throughout the islands.
Check out these blogs to satisfy your (virtual) wanderlust and start planning your next vacation.
1. Uncommon Caribbean
Written by brothers Steve and Patrick Bennett, Uncommon Caribbean aims to give readers a unique and authentic perspective on traveling to the Caribbean. Born in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, the Bennetts now live in Fort Lauderdale and Brooklyn, respectively, but you’d never know it, as their passion for this part of the world shines through in the posts.
Filter posts by destination (everywhere from Aruba to Cuba and Grenada to Turks and Caicos is covered) or topic (including beaches, carnival, food, and rum reviews).

2. Island Epicurean
For many people, experiencing the local food is their favorite part of traveling. If you’re one of those travelers, Island Epicurean is for you. Written by Chelsea Tennant, this blog covers the best food, drink, and foodie events in the Cayman Islands.
Tennant also travels away from the islands regularly, so you’ll see posts about the best food in destinations like Edinburgh, New Orleans, and Vancouver.
Tennant is very active on Instagram, so make sure to check out her latest posts for some Caribbean food inspiration.
