I'm Stacey — a Barbadian solo mum, adventure traveller and your insider guide to the island I call home. I've spent 12 days in a campervan around Iceland, trekked the Inca Trail in Peru, hiked the West Highland Way and most recently took my toddler Freddy through Patagonia — Ushuaia, Torres del Paine, El Calafate and El Chaltén. Freddy has already seen London, Costa Rica and the Scottish Highlands before his third birthday and shows absolutely no signs of slowing down. This blog is where I share everything — the real costs, the honest reviews, the gear that actually works and the trips that are worth every complicated logistics decision. Adventure is always worth it.
From Barbados to Patagonia and everywhere in between
