ABOUT US

We invite you to share our love of this beautiful country in all its differences and oddities! We are, a Bahamian whose family history extends back over 300 years in The Bahamas, and an Expat who felt at “home” the minute her feet touched the ground when landing in Nassau over 20 years ago. So in a sense we were both born with “sand in our shoes”.

The Bahamas is much more than just sand and sea, it is diverse, complicated and a muddle up of many influences and experiences. It is constantly growing and evolving in a manner unconventional to some, but then, we are not some . . . . . . we are we!
