About Josselyn

Originally a Midwest girl from Ohio, I’ve always dreamed of turning life into an adventure and exploring the world. My love for travel began with road trips with my aunt, where I learned the art of navigating with a paper map. In high school, I ventured out of the country solo for the first time, and in college, I picked up a second major just so I could live and study in Cuba. After graduation, I got a work visa to live in London, using it as a base to explore Europe.

I’ve never felt the need to “settle down,” always looking forward to the next big adventure—until I found myself in the U.S. Virgin Islands. They say when you’re not expecting it, “it” finds you—and that’s exactly what happened when I met my now-husband in a local coffee shop. What started as daily cold brews turned into a beautiful island life together.

Welcome to my slice of paradise! As a proud mom living in the beautiful Virgin Islands, I embrace each day filled with stunning sunsets, crystal-clear waters, and family adventures. Every day is an opportunity to explore all that our islands have to offer, from hidden gems to well-loved local spots. Through this space, I’m excited to share my favorite beaches, delicious places to eat, and family-friendly activities, helping you uncover the magic of the Virgin Islands. Whether you’re planning your first visit or seeking new adventures, I hope to inspire unforgettable experiences with local insights and tips. Thanks for joining me on this journey!
