We arrived in the beautiful island of Saint Lucia with Bernard (still feeling sick) in tow. We took a different approach for touring the Caribbean, instead of aiming for the idyllic beaches and luxury resorts in Castries and Gros Islet, we decided spend our short 3 days stay at an Airbnb in a small local seaport town of Soufriere.
Taking the off beaten path also has it consequences, as we soon learnt, small towns like these don't usually get many frequent foreign visitors, so naturally our presences attracts plenty of attention and interests from the locals, both good and bad. We were blessed to meet some very friendly folks that showed us the authentic experience of island life in St Lucia, and also some rather hostile locals that made themselves very clear they do not like our presences near them. It's rather unfortunate, but we made the best out of our experience during our stay there.
When we had a full day to explore the island, we decided to do a day trip to visit Castries, the capital city of the country; over climbing a Piton, which is mountainous volcano as Bernard was still not feeling a 100% yet.
It was definitely an eye opening experience, taking the local "bus/van" that only cost $3 one way, that took us through many mountainous paths and windy roads, and it was a glimpse of how many of the locals commute to the main city for work/school and home.
Our highlight in St Lucia was definitely the food, and the hospitality of our host and some of the restaurants that gave us this opportunity to experience this small part of their life and culture.

We started our trip back in April 2, 2019 from New York City. We quit our 9-6 jobs, sold all of our belongings, and began traveling full time. We left our jobs because we were unable to be with family and enjoy life. Work was taking up too much time and something had to change. We saved up for 2 years and began traveling as soon as we found a deal that would take us around the world for just $285.00. We started this #travelvlog to share our adventures with friends and family. At the one year mark, we realized that we had only scratched the surface and there was still so much to see. We are so fortunate to be doing this every day. We hope you enjoy our content and will subscribe to our adventures.
