What to eat

St. John, surrounded by the crystal-clear Caribbean Sea, boasts a vibrant culinary scene where fresh seafood reigns supreme. Local restaurants proudly feature a "catch of the day" option, ensuring diners indulge in the freshest and most flavorful seafood. For those with a penchant for bold flavors, Caribbean-style BBQ is a must-try. The slow-cooked meats, marinated with a blend of spices like garlic, ginger, and scotch bonnet peppers, offer a distinctive taste that captures the island's essence.

For dessert, don't miss out on the delightful rum cake, a beloved treat throughout the Caribbean. To wash it all down, savor the famous Painkiller, a cherished cocktail that embodies the spirit of St. John. This island offers a culinary adventure that promises to excite and satisfy any food lover.

Exploring local markets is always an exciting adventure, filled with vibrant colors and enticing aromas. I plan to immerse myself in the lively atmosphere, where vendors display a variety of fresh produce and unique local products. One of the highlights will be tasting the exquisite local fruits, each offering its own distinct flavor and sweetness that reflects the region's agricultural richness.

What to wear

When preparing for a trip to the Virgin Islands, it’s essential to consider both style and comfort. I often get asked about the best outfits to bring, so I’ve curated a selection that reflects the vibrant Caribbean vibe, incorporating the color of the year, mocha mousse that happened to be my esthetic tone. These outfits are designed for ease of travel, ensuring you look great while feeling relaxed. Whether you're lounging at a luxurious resort in St. John or exploring the scenic beauty of the islands on a road trip, packing lightweight, breathable fabrics is key. Think breezy maxi dresses, classic swimsuits, subtle colors, prints and versatile cover-ups that transition effortlessly from beach days to evening dinners. With these outfit ideas, you're set for an unforgettable tropical getaway!
