Magazine editor blogs from St. John

Caribbean Travel + Life managing editor Becky Strauss is one of five editors blogging from various Caribbean islands this summer, and Becky landed the plumb St. John assignment.

“I love St. John. I was there last year too, updating a travel guide, and at that time I became enamored with it,” Becky tells us. “There is a perfect mix of gorgeous scenery, welcoming people, great food and an almost mystical vibe that I haven’t found in many places.”

Becky was on-island working on a story that she says will include Caneel Bay. She spent three nights at Caneel and another three nights at a villa in Coral Bay.

Check out some of Becky’s blog entries, including her villa, a Reef Bay hike, an encounter with Pirate Bill, and her take on House Hunters International, here!

    The Pirate Bill story is very interesting. We sure have a lot of characters on St. John!
