100% Caribbean. 100% real.
About Rum & Roots
Caribbean travel, done right. A mix of effortless luxury, local soul, and the kind of insider access only a true islander can offer.
Travel planner, rum punch enthusiast and proud Barbadian.
I started Rum & Roots because, frankly, I was tired of watching the Caribbean get overlooked, underestimated or totally misrepresented. We’re not just cruise stops. We’re not just beaches and all-inclusives. This region is luxurious, layered, soulful, and wildly alive, and it deserves more than a copy-paste itinerary.
I knew I could do better – not just because I’m from here, but because I care more.
So I built Rum & Roots to help travellers experience the Caribbean with more depth, more ease and way more joy. Whether I’m planning your entire itinerary or pointing you to the coffee stand at the farmer’s market where I used to work as a teen, I bring real insight, real care and real love for these islands. Every time.
Because the ‘roots’ in Rum & Roots isn’t just a name. It’s a promise.
The Caribbean vacation you’ve been dreaming of will always be planned by a true islander with deep connections across the region.
And the 'rum'? Well, let’s just say it fuels the stories you’ll tell when you get home.
What we believe around here.
These three ideas guide everything we do:

Authentic, soulful, and full of stories. The Caribbean, exactly as it is.

The pulse of the islands, woven into every trip.
