They're not your average islands...
so don’t go for average itineraries.
Born and raised in Barbados, I’ve worked with Caribbean hoteliers, wedding planners, rum makers and everyone from luxury villa hosts to beach club owners. Rum & Roots exists to help you see the islands right.
As a certified travel advisor with Fora Travel for nearly four years, I bring the best of both worlds: local knowledge, industry expertise, and experience planning over 50 unforgettable Caribbean getaways.

Testimonials
“She couldn’t have been more right.”
I knew I wanted a Caribbean honeymoon, but had no idea where to start. Taylor immediately recommended St. Lucia, and she couldn’t have been more right. Ladera Resort was unreal: private pool, Piton views, and total serenity. She even surprised us with a private dinner for two on the beach one night!
We're also already working with her to plan our next trip: a week-long catamaran cruise through the Grenadines with friends. We wouldn’t dream of doing it without her!

“Rum & Roots should absolutely be your go-to for Caribbean travel.”
We knew we wanted to ball out on where we stayed, and Taylor came through with a private villa at Sandy Lane that was unreal. But we also told her we wanted to go local with food and drinks, and she totally delivered. She set up a private rum shop crawl along the West Coast, pointed us to her favorite fish cutter spots, and got us up to the chill beach bars in Speightstown we never would’ve found ourselves. We've been telling everyone: Rum & Roots should absolutely be your go-to for Caribbean travel.

“It was the perfect balance of luxury and fun.”
We wanted a Caribbean spot that felt like real downtime for us as parents but still had plenty for the kids, and Taylor nailed it. She recommended Curtain Bluff in Antigua, and it was the perfect balance of luxury and fun. Mornings at the spa, afternoons sailing Hobie Cats, and a family catamaran day that everyone still talks about. She made everything feel easy, thoughtful, and full of joy.
