    FrenchCaribbean

    Top 10 Highlights in Guadeloupe: Exploring the “Butterfly Island”

    What started off as traveling for a flight deal ended up with me falling in love with a new country. I guess the unanticipated love is what makes a trip all the more memorable! Similar to Martinique, this was not a place that  I heard much about or knew where it was located. Have you heard of this island? Do you know where it is located on the map? I am not judging you if you don’t. However, it is a place definitely worth getting to know. 

    2 Islands, 1 Trip: Week Long Itinerary in the French Caribbean

    Around Valentine's Day, I took a trip to two islands of the French Caribbean: Martinique and Guadeloupe with my fiancé and another couple. Any time I mentioned it to a person, someone would go, "Where is that?" or "Never heard of it." When I arrived, it was clear that Europeans (and not just the French) have been traveling there for years. However, it is definitely a less traveled part of the Caribbean for Americans. These two islands have been more on my radar thanks to my more well-traveled Instagram friends and Travel Noire, promoting that Norwegian Airlines has great deals from JFK during the winter months.
