Tips

____________________________________________________________________________________



- Always negotiate with everything: taxis, souvenirs, men ...

- Make sure to hide your money and valuables where only you know the location

- If staying at hostels or cheap hotels, make sure to lock up your stuff whenever you are not around

- I love meeting new people and randomly hanging out with them, BUT if you get a weird vibe DO NOT hang out with them

- To men and women travelers: BE SPICY. Flirt, smile and wink...it will get you far

- Most importantly, go with the flow. Planning is irrelevant in these places where anything can happen

Backpacking the Caribbean

ABOUT

Hi Everyone! 

 

​I decided to create this website when I was researching how to backpack the 'authentic' Caribbean on a budget but instead I found scattered information on various websites. I wanted to concentrate all of my knowledge I gathered throughout my experiences on one website. I hope you enjoy it and it helps in your travels!
