Seeking insight, tips, and favourites! Travelling from 🇨🇦 summer 2025! Want to support local ❤️

Hi all Caribbeans and Caribbean-loving-humans!

I will be travelling to Grenada this July from Canada 🇨🇦 with a small group of teachers and working with, and learning from, Grenadine Educators. I AM SO EXCITED!! This will also be my FIRST TIME in the Caribbean! I want to take advantage of this adventure and do some travelling after. I’d love your insights and suggestions.

Info about me & my travelling boundaries: -solo traveller -May travel with others for a little bit, but wanting to really stick around for a bit -female (so, safety is priority) -want to support local economy -up for an adventure -as a teacher, my day to day is extremely demanding, so the idea of relaxing on a beach or all-inclusive-type is appealing (also, I think I deserve it!) -solo travelling = needs to be affordable

I when travelling, here’s what matters to me and what I love: -food -cultural experiences -art -nature -unique experiences -shopping (I’d be lying if I didn’t say it! LOL!)

I am eager to experience other islands and areas in the Caribbean and would love to know what others would recommend. If you could go back, what might you have done differently and what would you absolutely do again, etc.

Thanks in advance! And please know I intend to continue commenting on the thread and engaging with ideas. Thanks!
