Meet Your Island Guide

Hi! I’m Cindy – I’ve always been a lover of all things ocean-related and tropical and I’ve always been a beach bum. My favorite color is Caribbean Blue. As a child I thought it would be the best thing in the world to get stranded on a tropical island like Gilligan and his friends. Eventually, I made that dream a reality when I moved to St Croix in 2001. Since then, I’ve never looked back.

I think that being a traveler is vital to life. I love experiencing new places and foods while learning about the history and culture of a destination. I’ve traveled around the world a bit but am most blessed to call this island home. And I can’t wait to share all of my favorite places, tips, and the people around our neighborhoods.

When I’m not sharing my love for the islands and travel, you can find me working on web design, digital marketing, or digital coaching for small businesses and entrepreneurs at Cindy Leigh Media.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
