As the Digital Travel Ambassador to Nevis, I have the very important responsibility and ultimate luxury of visiting once a year to update everyone on what's new and wonderful on the island, and to provide you with tips for planning your trip. It’s literally the best gig ever!

For the last 3 weeks I’ve been suffering from a terrible summer cold that has really kicked my butt in a way that a cold virus has never done to me before. It made me realize how changed and weak my immune system is since the 2019 pandemic started. Wearing masks for over a year now undoubtedly made our bodies sterile to common colds to the point that that a summer cold virus could prolong itself into 3+ week ordeal. And I’m not the only one dealing with this summer cold from hell.

Want to know how to create and maintain an Instagram following? I know a little bit about this ;) The majority of my income actually comes from Instagram. People are always surprised by this, and honestly, so am I! I do so much work as part of my business offline, but the way the cookie crumbles is that big brands will pay for exposure on a well designed, story-telling and thought provoking social media page. The Instagram platform is constantly changing, updating itself and evolving to create a more dynamic experience for its users.

I’m very close to finalizing a duplex apartment purchase and I’m already shopping for furniture. So let's just say I've got suggestions for redecorating or buying furniture for a new place, especially if it’s a loft, duplex or triplex style apartment. Urban spaces and  contemporary décor are totally my thing. And New York City is as urban as they get! I’m including some of my favorite furniture that maximizes living space, won’t break the bank and gives you easy storage options.
