Traveling inarguably gives happiness to all of us. And these days, when we are looking for new travel destinations inspiration, we usually go to Google first. I did the same while planning my first truly long voyage. Before visiting the French Antilles, I read multiple Caribbean travel blogs and collected as much information as it was possible.

They will give you a massive bulk of where to go, what to see, and how to pack for your Caribbean adventure. Some blogs are in English and some are in Polish, but I am pretty sure that everyone will find there something interesting.

Great story on folks blogging about the Caribbean. It’s an amazing area of the world that is so much more than just beaches and booze. Nice to see it getting the attention it deserves.

It’s being created to help vacationers plan their trip and I’m hopeful that some of my blogs will motivate folks to get out and experience the islands through snorkeling, hiking etc… Feel free to check it out.
